Release Franki Now!

As many maybe already aware, Franki is a Catalan political activist from Terrassa in Catalonia, who has been condemned to 2 years and 7 months in prision because it had been reported that he burnt a Spanish flag in 2002.

Without ANY solid probes and without waiting for ANY type of formal judgment he is now in prision. Since his arrest and imprisonment there has been shock and anger across Catalonia. Likewise this has grown into widespread solidarity actions which are continuing on a daily bases across Catalonia.

Catalan Solidarity: Ireland Committee has added its voice for the release of Franki.
