feminist manifesto by a public, secular university. Against the criminalization and repression of the student . On the morning of Friday, March 18, 2011 four students from the Faculty of Political Science and Sociology at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid have been arrested as they left their homes by agents of the National Police. The four are members of the counter-university partnerships and Rose I Love You Rosa, criminalized by the media right on the peaceful performance made in the chapel Somosaguas Campus on Thursday 10 March.
Through this release, organizations, groups and individuals undersigned, declare: That
colleagues have been arrested in front of their houses when they went to college, in a totally disproportionate police action: it is students, members of legal associations and public political activity, legitimized by the recognition of their peers and the rest of the university community.
That these arrests are preceded by a targeted media campaign to criminalize the means of the extreme right who have tried to convert a performance of secular feminist claim in an "assault" and have devoted themselves to provoke, insult and stigmatize the students more participatory and Complutense University itself.
That the events of the chapel have been exploited by right-wing media in a clear attempt to interfere in the election campaign to the Rector of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, in violation of university autonomy. That
March 18, a student has been attacked near the chapel of Somosaguas and three in the History Department of the UCM, both groups of the extreme right. This is the climate created by the media lynching on the right.
That the Catholic Church continues to have a scandalous protection capacity on civil society and aggressively defends its unjustified privileges, inherited from the Franco dictatorship. We reaffirm our demand for closure of the chapels, for a secular universities and non-hetero.
Finally, we express our firm solidarity with detainees and prisoners, reclaim the respect of the presumption of innocence and our call for his acquittal without charge.
