Just a few
days after the Spanish government gave tribute to the fascist soldiers of the
Blue Division (Spanish volunteers who fought alongside Nazi Germany during the
Second World War under the command of Hitler), the Spanish police carried out
the extradition order of Nouredinne Ziani, a citizen of Moroccan nationality
who has been resident in Catalonia for 14 years. For what reason? He is accused
of supporting radical Salafism in Spain.
Without any
kind of trial or evidence, not even the possibility that the lawyer can defend
him, the CNI (Spanish intelligence agency) carried on the decision against all
the rights that grant justice to all the citizens.
This case not
only confirms the fact that for Spain, immigrants are second-class citizens,
but it is also a warning to all immigrants who sympathize with the process of
independence.
In its crusade
against the Catalan process, the machinery of the Spanish State is operating at
full capacity and foul play is the basic technique as it was in the darkest
moments of the dictatorships, and the techniques used during the Inquisition
are evident as well.
Mr. Ziani is
the Director of the Espai Catalanomarroquí (Catalan-Moroccan association), an
organization linked to the Foundation of the New Catalans headed by Àngel Colom
of CDC (Artur Mas’ party), which works for the integration of immigrants in
Catalonia. According to Àngel Colom, Ziani is, on the contrary, a person who
has been opposed to the radical Salafi movement and he has always worked to
integrate Islamic and Catalan values in a peaceful and respectful manner.
For the time
being, it has not been possible to locate Mr. Ziani and his lawyer now regrets
not having had the slightest chance of defending him against these accusations.
