Spain: "Gag Law" would impose huge fines for demonstrating

  • 10 years ago
In Spain, opponents of the proposed Citizen Security Law, already known as the "Gag Law," have stated that they will work to annul the law using all available means. The law has passed the lower chamber and must now go to the Senate, where it is expected to be approved. The law increases the fines for infractions related to peaceful protest, freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, and some infractions for prohibited or unannounced demonstrations are as high as 600 thousand Euros. teleSUR.
