Million-dollar fine for protests in Spain

samedi 13 décembre 2014 à 13:00

Spain's right-wing government has imposed a million-dollar fine for some protests, and large fines also for publishing photos of thugs.

The latter one seems to be intended to stop people from documenting the thugs' violence. The people of Spain, under repression, need to develop networks for anonymously posting evidence outside Spain.

The same law also represses insulting a thug. Many thugs do things which provoke well-deserved insults. Prohibiting insults against anyone is inexcusable censorship.

I will suggest to people in Spain that they turn the word "policÃa" into an insult. Then it will be possible to insult a thug just by saying "es un policÃa", and it will be difficult for them to prosecute this.
