On July 2, Amadeu Casellas is notified to present himself to the court of Barcelona, and once there he is told to have 10 days to enter the Manresa prison in order to serve a 3 years sentence. An appeal is requested to deduct these 3 years from the 8 years that the “injustice” of the state owes him and that the state institutions themselves had recognized after a hard period of struggle.
After visiting the Penitentiary Surveillance court, the jail of Manresa and holding different meetings, in order to change this “illogical” situation, he is told his appeal cannot be “attended” as he hasn’t entered jail yet and has no “jail record”, while they promise him to fastly attend his situation once he is inside.
The shamelessness of telling a person to re-enter prison just to check his “jail record”, after jailing that person and kidnapping him for eight long years, can only come a sickening and avenging state.
Obviously, a dissatisfied Amadeu kept on fighting for his freedom, and after several meetings with the General Secretariat of Prisons of Catalonia, two years and eight months are deducted, but they are unable to overturn the order of entering jail and offer him a Third Degree status, which apparently allows inmates to spend eight hours of the day in freedom.
The following step was the court of Barcelona again, where the president cancelled the order given for July 12, although all the bureaucracy in different courts was still pending before being sure the sentence is completely overturned .
Now, Amadeu has been told again he has to enter prison on August 2. Unbelievable but true! If it wasn’t true, it could even look like some kind of sick joke, but it is the harsh reality of the bourgeois law, its extermination centers and its “calculation mistakes”, which required up to three hunger strikes for them to take the decision to start counting the years Amadeu had to actually serve.
We know that during August and early September it will be difficult to handle any issue related with the bourgeois legal bureaucracy, so in case he was finally jailed, Amadeu will be exposed to any kind of manipulation, provocation, set-up, etc. which will only make his release harder.
Now it’s the time to fight again against the beast, to fight with our best weapon: solidarity.
Amadeu Casellas Ramón is not alone, your freedom is ours, his struggle is ours. His choice has never been to be silent, neither ours.
FOR FREEDOM!
FOR SOLIDARITY!
FOR ANARCHY!
DOWN WITH THE PRISON WALLS!
