Anything against the state's interests, through a non-violent action, is susceptible to be considered sedition.


I'm never going to beg for pardon for exercising fundamental rights.

For me, prison is a necessary step towards achieving the right to self-determination.

As a civil society, our task is to pressure governments into democratic changes.

I am in jail for defending human rights, not independence.

It's the Spanish state which should say sorry for violating the right to protest and freedom of expression.

The Catalan institutions and political parties have to be consistent, because they have the democratic legitimacy of the ballot box and they can't pass certain responsibilities on to civil society.

I am not a politician in prison, I am a political prisoner who uses jail to denounce Spain's human rights violations.

The cause of self-determination in Catalonia is no different to other citizen causes that fight for a fairer, more democratic future, as we've seen in Chile, Lebanon and Hong Kong.

If you attack our democratically elected representatives, you attack our institutions, all our people and our sovereignty, and we will never allow that.

We are European citizens, as we are European citizens it means what we want to do is exactly like Scotland or Quebec. The difference is that the United Kingdom and Canada they are democratic countries. Spain today is not a democracy and this is the main problem.

The pro-independence movement has all different social sensibilities - from left to right, including pro-liberal, socialist and communist.
