"To you, Unionist", an open letter by Paco Martínez (English translation)
What Spain seems incapable of understanding is why so many Catalans who support independence are not Catalan-born. Paco Martinez, who came to live in Catalonia decades ago, expresses his views very clearly here.

"Prison without a verdict: a pretrial punishment. Is it exceptional?". By four political prisoners
A translation into English (by M.S.) of "Prisión sin sentencia, pena anticipada. ¿Una excepcionalidad?", an article published by four political prisoners from Lledoners gaol: Jordi Sànchez, Joaquim Forn, Jordi Turull and Josep Rull, on 26/10/2018. I hope the authors, their representatives and the newspaper have no objection.
