The UAB adheres to the 15-minute halt

17/10/2017

Due to the imprisonment of the leaders of Òmnium Cultural and Assemblea Nacional Catalana, ordered yesterday by the Audiencia Nacional, and based on a full confidence in judicial independence, the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona laments what it considers a totally disproportionate and inappropriate measure.

For this reason, the university today adhered to the call for a 15-minute halt at 12 noon, which took place in front of all teaching centres, with the aim of expressing rejection towards the imprisonment of Jordi Sánchez and Jordi Cuixart, at a moment in which dialogue and negotiations should be the options taken in solving the political disagreement existing today in Catalonia.
