What rights would you have now if no one had fought for them?

Self-determination is a right, not a crime.

• The act of placing Catalan political and social leaders on trial for rebellion constitutes a breach of 21st-century Europe’s principal democratic rights:

- A self-determination referendum
- The right to debate in parliament
- The right to demonstration and to freedom of expression.

• This trial should not exist: a universal right, such as the right to self-determination, cannot be converted into a criminal offence

• Abusing preventive detention, failing to guarantee a fair trial and violating elected representatives’ political rights are all blatant violations of human rights

• The Spanish State and its deepest structures use political repression to suppress the Catalan independence movement, which is peaceful and democratic alan.

• This trial must therefore serve as a political tool of denunciation and as a call for international solidarity with the Catalan people’s right to self-determination
