Trial of Three Maulets Militants

On February 7th, the trial of three militants of the Catalan revolutionary independentist youth movement Maulets will begin who have been accused of ‘injuring and threatening’ behaviour from a number of well known fascists in the city of Valéncia: all of them are members of the student fascist group ‘Estudiantes por la Libertad’ (Students For Freedom).

We remind, the readers, that the facts which lead to this trial come from a series of small incidents that happened during the election week in the Valéncian University.

As regards the request for this trial, from the Catalan revolutionary independentist youth of Maulets we would like to outline the following:

* We support the call made by anti-reppressive organisation of the independentist left, Alerta Solidària, and encourage the Catalan youth to participate in the demonstration that will be held on February 7th at 11.30am outside of the court house in Valéncia.

* We denounce this new ‘political trial’ that aims to silence the voices of the Catalan youth who are organised and who combat fascism.

* We denounce once again that independentism is being castigated by the Spanish State for daring to give an answer to the attacks that we suffer from the extreme right.

* We denounce the impunity that this fascist groups dispose of these days. We remind, the readers, that these people are the same ones who painted the university library, who have constantly attacked the social centre Terra de Benimaclet, who have assaulted students or those who have attacked in many occasions the Student Union of the Catalan Countries (SEPC).

* We demand the immediate release of the three people, militants of Maulets and SEPC who have been put on charges.Their only crime is being young and left wing.

Stop Fascist Aggression!
Immediate Release of Anti-Fascist Youth!
