21 Catalan minority people detained today for their pro independence ideology

Spain is a Fascist state. Spain is not a democracy but an authoritarian beast harrasing, day by day, the Catalan minority. The Spanish paramilitary police (guardia civil), has caused unrest amongst the movement's sympathizers, with many calling for an end to "repression." A historian, Josep Lluís Alay, a editor, Oriol Soler, an sportsman Xavier Vinyals of a lobby in favor of Catalan national sports teams (banned by Spain unlike the United Kingdom) are three of the 21 civilians kidnapped by a military corps well known by tortures, rapes and corruption. The Spanish move is ludicrous.  The detainees are accused of Catalan independence ideas and phantom relations with Julian Assange, Edward Snowden and the Russian government. 

In an operation led by a Spanish inquisition court, searches in 31 spots across Catalonia and 21 detentions were being performed for pro-independence activities and protests. The Catalan President in Exile and MEP Carles Puigdemont, who was Catalonia's president at the time of the 2017 independence bid, swiftly criticized the investigation carried out by the Spanish Guardia Civil. "Spain's Guardia Civil just detained my head of office in Barcelona, Josep Alay, together with a dozen of other people linked with the pro-independence movement. They must be immediately released. Acting against political dissidents is a huge violation of fundamental rights." The Catalan Government as well as grassroots movements have protestes in front of the Catalan autonomous government HQ against the Spanish repression towards the Catalan minority.
