Read in Catalan

Catalan civil society organisation Òmnium Cultural has started a campaign to raise the international profile of the trial of pro-independence Catalan leaders, including its own president, Jordi Cuixart.

The organisation's vice-president, Marcel Mauri, has explained this Friday that the campaign aims to "prepare the playing field because this battle is to be played out in Europe". The expectation is that any convictions from the court in Madrid will be appealed to the European Court of Human Rights.

One aspect of the campaign will be focused on social media, including the video in the tweet above, especially aimed at the UK, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland and Sweden. They also plan to hold further events on the case in different countries.
