\u00d2mnium Cultural presented on Friday the international campaign to denounce the trial against Catalan leaders: Democracy on Trial<\/strong>. The aim is to get the whole of European society involved in the defence of fundamental rights<\/strong> and raise awareness of the fact that human rights are being violated in XXIst century Spain. Work is being carried out since several weeks ago in three main spheres: legal area, Communication, and international relations in cooperation with organisations in favour of human rights and culture. \u201cWe have to lay the groundwork because the judicial dispute is also being waged in Europe\u201d, said the vice-president of \u00d2mnium Cultural, Marcel Mauri, in reference to the trial against Catalan political prisoners. Mauri added that \u201cwe want to get European society involved and explain our work and our struggle for fundamental rights. If the trial results in a conviction, the rights that are enshrined in the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union will be called into question\u201d.<\/p>\n This presentation coincides with the first campaign video being made public. The video, Europe Needs You More Than Ever<\/strong>, is a mini-documentary that is produced by \u00d2mnium and is meant to denounce the violations of human rights in Spain with regards to the trial of Catalan social and political leaders. This audiovisual piece reminds viewers of the police brutality that took place during the October 1, 2017 self-determination referendum, it explains the ongoing judicial proceedings against the referendum and uses facts to break down the accusation of rebellion, while explaining the case of Jordi Cuixart, the president of \u00d2mnium<\/strong>. The video calls for European dialogue and mediation<\/strong> in order to reach a political and democratic solution for Catalonia<\/strong>. It also encourages social media audiences to contact their political representatives and explain to them what is happening in Spain. The mini-documentary is narrated and presented by Tony Harper<\/strong>, a professional British actor that lives and works in Catalonia. Harper has previously collaborated with the BBC, The Guardian, CMT Canada, and BTV. It can be seen in the following link:<\/p>\n
