FREE Nahuel, vegan activist jailed now 1 Year without trial

Nahuel, a member of Straight Edge, now a year kidnapped by the State

Another sick joke by the neo/fascist Spanish rulers to jail indefinitely. isolate and torture a young anti/nazi and anti drugs idealist while letting without trial — Another sick joke by the neo/fascist Spanish rulers… to jail indefinitely without trial, isolate and torture a young anti fascist and anti drugs activist and vegan. The charges are nonsense, Straight Edge is the opposite of criminal or terrorist. Nahuel is incarcerated because **he was the only one to sign a complaint against police brutality to Amnesty International with his real name**.

Being a part of the demonstrations against the government here in Spain. For being part of the people that never abandoned the ones who lost their homes. Me, like my friends, were part of the anti-eviction movement, and also the animal liberation movement. They call us terrorists. They call me a terrorist. But we were a group of friends that wanted to create a drug free space in the anarchist and antifascist hardcore punk scene in Madrid”…..
