useless-catalanfacts:(November 2020)Solidarity to Francisco Garrobo, an activist from the Nou Barris quarter (Barcelona, Catalonia) who has been sentenced to 3 and a half years of jail and a fine of 6,000€ for having taken part in the general strike of November 8th 2017 to protest against the Spanish government’s elimination of the regional Catalan government through article 155 of the Spanish Constitution and the imprisonment of the democratically-elected Government of Catalonia to punish Catalan citizens for fighting for independence.Francisco is a member of the anti-eviction movements and his quarter’s LGBTQ+ organization. He has also taken part in the movement for the independence of Catalonia. When asked if he would repeat his action knowing the consequence is sending him to jail, he has answered: “[Catalan political prisoner sentenced to 9 years of jail]Jordi Cuixart says he would do it again, then so would I”.Moisès Fernández has been sentenced to 1 year of jail for the same reason.In the photo above, Francisco is in the back and Moisès is in front. -- source link
