Who let the Dams out?

Dani was among the people from Madrid (the capital city of Spain) who took the streets in October 16th 2019 to protest against the unfair judicial sentence that sent Catalan activists and politicians to jail for being pro-independence.

While the protests in Catalonia were being brutally repressed by police, in Madrid the police beat those Spanish people who had dared to stand with the Catalan people too. In Madrid they arrested 4 people, and 3 of them were freed after what they described as “humiliations from the police, mockery, commentaries and veiled threats”, but Dani was not released.

Dani was arrested and accused of having hit a policeman with a wooden stick. However, the medical report presented by the police was signed two hours before this supposedly happened and in a different place. Even though Dani doesn’t have any criminal record and there are no proofs nor witnesses of what the police accuse him of, he has been in preventive jail for 7 months and now the Prosecution Ministry of the Spanish government is now asking for 6 years of jail and a fine of 3000€.

SOLIDARITY WITH CATALONIA SHOULD NOT BE A CRIME!

Our eternal gratitude is with those who have taken a stand in favour of our fight for freedom and against the political persecution of Catalan independentists, the police brutality against Catalan protestors and the arbitrary imprisonment of Catalan activists and protestors.

old people: let me speak to your manager. This never would have happened in my day. And yet you all want the minimum wage raised. I’m going to kill you.
