The president of Òmnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, has left this Thursday at 7.30 pm in the Lledoners prison, in Sant Joan de Vilatorrada (Barcelona), for his first 48-hour prison permit.
Cuixart has left the prison on foot to a car that was waiting for him to transfer him, and he has waved smiling at the press making the victory sign with his hand before getting into a car and leaving the penitentiary center.
This is the first time that the prisoner sovereign leader will have a prison permit, granted by the Classification Service of the Department of Justice of the Generalitat, after serving the fourth part of his sentence of nine years for sedition, issued by the Supreme Court (TS) after the trial by the sovereignty process.
As reported by Òmnium Cultural in a statement, during this two-day permit Cuixart will not have a public agenda, and reiterates that it is making use of its rights that correspond to it as a “political prisoner who will not resign.”
No reintegration measures
The entity emphasizes that it will not accept any measure conceived as reintegration or that implies the recognition of “no crime based on the exercise of fundamental rights that guarantee different international positions”.
They also emphasize that Cuixart has entered prison as president of Òmnium “and, if his partners want it, he will leave as president of the entity.”
On Wednesday, the Classification Service favorably resolved the proposal for a two-day prison permit made by the Treatment Board of the Lledoners Prison for Cuixart, as well as for the former president of the ANC and the deputy of JxCat Jordi Sànchez.
