ICIP condemns the violence, used on 1st October

ICIP (International Catalan Institute for Peace) firmly condemns the violence, used on 1st October in Catalonia by the security forces of the state and pleads once again for a pacific, democratic and negotiated solution for the political conflict we are facing.
To demonstrate their rejection of violence, ICIP will join the protest marches, organised next Monday 2nd October at 12.00, outside of the work places, as well as all demonstrations in the defence of every individual’s personal rights.
As such, in view of the violation of basic rights and the denial of the Catalan population’s right to decide, we repeat our urgent call for dialogue and the need for international mediation to allow Catalonia to freely exercise its right to decide, expressed massively in the ballot boxes.
