In a controversial move, leading Catalan newspaper Ara has published a secretly-filmed video showing Oriol Junqueras, Joaquim Forn and Raül Romeva, in the Estremera Prison in Spain.
The film shows the political prisoners giving classes - Oriol Junqueras gives a class to fellow-prisoners on philosophy - taking exercise, cleaning the communal spaces in the prison and writing. Families of the prisoners, organised as the Catalan Association for Civil Rights have complained about the attack on the privacy of the prisoners. In a Tweet released this morning they say that "...the conditions in the prison and the visitors regime are tough, and we do not understand this illegal recording [of their lives]"
Donate to the prisoners’ families fund, The Catalan Association for Civil Rights, which is helping to cover the costs of visits. You'll find details on our What you can Do page.
Write to the new Spanish President to demand the release of the political prisoners. For his address, and more actions, see our page on what you can do.

Davant les imatges que circulen dels presos polítics catalans, denunciem la vulneració dels seus drets de manera reiterada, ara el dret a la intimitat. Les condicions a presó i el règim de visites són durs i no entenem aquesta gravació feta il·legalment. #LlibertatPresosPolítics— Ass. Catalana pels Drets Civils (@ACDretsCivils) June 7, 2018
