COMMUNICATION ON SEXUAL AGGRESSIONS AND AGGRESSIONS SEXIST POLICE ON OCTOBER 1, 2017

From Antigona, we demand that the Prosecutor’s Office proceed on the possible cases of sexual assault and abuse committed during the 1-O in the city of Barcelona, as established by the Law on Criminal Procedure for semi-public crimes, Article 27 on denunciation of the Convention of Council of Europe on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (Istanbul, 2011), and the commitments of the State Pact against Gender Violence. We consider the threat of a complaint against the mayor of Barcelona to meet her obligations to denounce sexual violence and sexist violence very misleading.
