Members of the 1-O Electoral Commission
Jordi Matas, Tània Verge, Marc Marsal, Josep Pagès and Marta Alsina were appointed members of the Electoral Commission in September 2017 by the Parliament of Catalonia to monitor the 1 October 2017 referendum.
They will face a trial in which they are accused of disobedience and usurpations of functions. The Prosecutor’s Office is requesting a prison term of 2 years and 9 months, a fine and prohibition from holding future public office. This trial is an attack on the academic freedom of university lecturers and professors who used their expertise to guarantee that a referendum would be held in a fair and impartial way.
More than fifteen thousand academics worldwide have expressed their support for the members of the Commission. Those who supported the right to vote on October 1 now have an added duty to support those members of the Electoral Commission who are now on trial. This is why we are asking that those facing trial be absolved of all charges. We demand an end to all repression and an amnesty for all those accused.
