According to The National, Douglas Chapman, SNP MP for Dunfermline and West Fife, has lodged an Early Day Motion (EDM) that asks the new Spanish Government to release the political prisoners.The motion makes specific reference to Clara PonsatÃ.
The Early Day Motion asks:
"That this House welcomes the formation of new governments in both Catalonia and Spain and hopes that members of both parliaments can begin the necessary process of respectful, positive dialogue; and requests that Catalan political prisoners be released from jail and those in exile, not least Clara Ponsati in Scotland, be allowed to return home without the threat of imprisonment."
The Motion has attracted five signatures so far, including three SNP MPs, Hywel Williams of Plaid Cymru, and Andrew Rosindell, Conservative MP for Romford.
It's a statement that calls for a debate as soon as possible ('on an early day') in the House of Commons at Westminster. These statements, signed by MPs, are a way of drawing attention to a problem or a topic.
Write to your MP urging her or him to sign the Early Day Motion.
