Enough persecution of activists and vecinxs
Must stop the abuses of the Spanish State that try to generate fear and slow mobilization. Anticapitalist Network, organization which is part SOL, develops an intense international campaign to support self-determination of the Catalan people, for freedom of political prisoners and exiles.
although the 155 no longer applies directly, endure its disastrous consequences: persecution, false accusations, unfair trials, economic sanctions and imprisonments. They try to cause fear to stop the popular mobilization.
Now arbitrariness fell on Laia Roca and Lluís Mollón, vecinxs Hospitalet de Llobergat, Barcelona, falsely accused of "disorders" and "undermining the authority". We called a campaign in their support and for the withdrawal of all charges.
Then, We reproduce a manifesto of support and solidarity with the detail of events by which they intend to imprison our comrades, also to sign a petition.
Manifesto of support and solidarity
Repression has been and remains the only response given by the Spanish state to the legitimate aspirations of the Catalan people, at his inability to deal with them politically. This repression has exercised very visual way about elected officials, institutional and prominent members of civil society today in prison or in exile. But in recent months has spread to hundreds of anonymous citizens who remain in constant mobilization in order to achieve the policy objectives endorsed the first of October 2017.
Throughout this year, after the referendum, an important part of citizenship continues mobilized. We are many who have not wanted to leave the street as a public expression of dissent and, In response the State has implemented all its repressive fronts with the sole intention of loving domesticated, submissives and locked up at home. Seeking repression, definitely, demobilization through fear, and hijack the debate through judicializar speech, away from the policy objectives.
It is in this context that the opening of proceedings against two neighboring L'Hospitalet falls. The events date back to the past 25 of March, convened in protest following the arrest of the President of the Generalitat by German police and in the period covered by the exception under Article 155 of the Spanish Constitution, that all the characteristics of Catalunya institutions were kidnapped and put under state control.
Amid mass protests around the headquarters of the delegation of the Spanish government in Barcelona, and after a brutal police charges that would cause more than a hundred injured, two people were detained, identified, registered and charged with disorderly conduct by plainclothes Barcelona urban guard involved in the police operation. Later, he 20 April will be questioned on in station and 18 May before the investigating judge, refusing to testify in both cases. A few hours after this last statement will judge closed the previous instruction. Finally, and today the prosecution notifies the charges complained of public disorder for both, one of them adding to the bombing authority with requests for penalties 2 a 6 years in prison, no evidence beyond the police report.
Far from getting intimidate, neighboring persist in our struggle strengthened by our ability to self-organization and peaceful resistance. In our struggle we have become aware of the great potential for change that we as a people mobilized, we know that our destiny as a free and socially just society is in our hands. The state and all its repressive mechanisms constantly collide with our persistence and our great capacity for solidarity and support, because we know that "if they touch a, They touch us all ", so that, nothing and no one is alien to us. We also know that we have the solidarity of all those people in those places where our struggle is known and recognized.
