Amnesty and Self-Determination
- What is amnesty?
Amnesty is an instrument of justice enacted by the legislative power in the form of a law to nullify convictions and ongoing proceedings in a political or social conflict, in this case, related to the exercise of fundamental rights in defense of Catalonia's self-determination and independence. The law specifies the periods, motivations, and causes that are amnestied.
- Why has Òmnium been advocating for amnesty for years?
- Because it's a political response
Amnesty allows a politically rooted conflict, such as the one between Catalonia and the Spanish state currently being litigated in the courts, to return to the political arena.
- Because it's a collective response
Amnesty provides a collective response to repression in the general crackdown on the independence movement.
- Because voting is not a crime
Amnesty signifies the state's acknowledgment that voting and exercising fundamental rights are not criminal acts.
- Because it's a starting point
Repression is not the origin of the conflict but its consequence, and therefore, amnesty can never be the endpoint. On the contrary, it serves as a starting point for a democratic resolution of the conflict.
- Why does the political solution require amnesty and self-determination?
Without self-determination, there can be no democratic resolution of the political conflict. The political conflict will not end until it is democratically addressed through the exercise of self-determination, allowing Catalonia to vote on its political future, an option supported by a significant majority of Catalan society.
- Why could approximately 1,500 out of the 4,400 victims of repression defending the 1st of October referendum be eligible for amnesty?
- The amnesty law applies to all persecuted individuals with convictions or ongoing legal proceedings.
- Those whose cases have been dismissed or acquitted are not eligible for amnesty.
- Excluded are victims of police violence on October 1st, individuals spied on by Pegasus, and victims of police infiltrations.
- What happens to all the persecuted individuals who do not qualify for amnesty? Òmnium demands their recognition, reparation, and guarantees against recurrence. Therefore:
- Police officers involved in the October 1st events will be brought to trial.
- We sue Marlaska for police infiltrations.
- We report Catalangate espionage to Europe.
- What are the effects of amnesty?
- Convictions are nullified.
- Criminal and administrative cases are annulled.
- It is acknowledged that the 1st of October referendum and actions in its defense are exercises of rights and not criminal offenses.
