Police brutality on Catalonia independence referendum (01/10/2017)
Images of police repression today in Sant Iscle de Vallalta, a tiny 1200 people village close to Barcelona.
From Facebook, about a demonstration, Saturday 14 April, 2 pm at the Dam square in Amsterdam, the Netherlands:
Stand up for democracy and human rights! Solidarity with the Catalans!
The Spanish repression of Catalans gets worse by the day. In the meantime, nine Catalan MPs and activists have already been arrested. Without ever using violence, they are accused of ‘violent revolt’. On the weekend of the demonstration, two leaders of the Catalan movement will have been jailed for no reason already for six months.
In recent months more than 1,500 people were injured by the Spanish authorities and the only crime was that they wanted to vote, 150 fascist attacks took place in Catalonia, 140 websites were taken off the Internet, police attacked journalists, critical rappers were sentenced to prison and committees in which local residents gather to defend their right of self-determination are being criminalized. Whether you are against or for independence, this undermining of democracy and human rights must stop!
Member states of the EU refuse to condemn the Spanish state and are cooperating in the extradition of political prisoners. Earlier, the EU also put democracy aside in Greece by pushing through its draconian austerity policy. From Barcelona to Athens and Amsterdam we speak out this weekend in solidarity with the Catalans.
Defend democracy and human rights!
Freedom for the Catalan political prisoners!
For the right of self-determination!
The extradition case of former Catalan Education Minister, Clara PonsatÃ, comes to court today in Edinburgh, Scotland for a preliminary hearing: here.
