International PEN president Jennifer Clement reads the statement urging the “immediate” release of Cuixart and Sànchez

The Catalan PEN association denounced the “excessive restrictions on the right to freedom of expression as the result of the disproportionate charges of rebellion and sedition filed against writers and civil society leaders Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sànchez,” who have been incarcerated, according to the group, for “having peacefully expressed their political views.” / ACN
