Nine
pro-independence activists were detained today at dawn by Spain’s
military police. The operation has been called for by Spain’s
Inquisition Court in Madrid. Sources of the court said that the
activists are members of the CDR pro-independence group. The detained
individuals have been moved to Madri. Spain has used 500 police armed officers to detain nine unarmed Catalans. This is what they call proportionality.
Last year two other activists were accused – one of them, Adrià Carrasco, went into exile, and the other one, Tamara Carrasco, was held in her town before the charges were dropped for both.
The CDR organization reacted to the arrests on Twitter, saying: "No matter how many indiscriminate raids and arbitrary detentions there are, they won't stop a determined and combative people."
The CDR, or Committees for the Defence of the Republic, are a network of pro-independence assemblies set up in 2017 that defend the bid split from Spain by promoting peaceful demonstrations and protests. The arrests come as the verdict in the trial of independence leaders in the Supreme Court is due out soon.
