  • Ómnium.Jordi Cuixart leaves Lledoners on his first prison permit

The president of Òmnium Cultural, Jordi Cuixart, has become the first convicted of sedition by the Supreme Court to leave prison in semi-liberty after taking just over a quarter of the sentence of 9 years imprisonment imposed. This Thursday Cuixart has left the prison center of Lledoners to go to the company he has in an industrial estate in the town of Sentmenat . You will also go to a center for people at risk of social exclusion to volunteer.

Last week, the Treatment Board of the Lledoners prison approved the application of article 100.2 of the prison regulations to Jordi Cuixart and the former president of the ANC, Jordi Sanchez, so they can leave a few hours in prison and return to sleep. Specifically, Cuixart has permission to be out of jail for 9.5 hours every day five times a week to work in his company of design and production of industrial machinery for packaging as well as perform volunteer work in an NGO. Inside the prison, the president of Òmnium is involved in solidarity activities with other prisoners.

It took Cuixart almost a week to leave although with the application of article 100.2 he could do so immediately, since the objective is to facilitate the reintegration of the prisoner. The Board of Treatment of the jail must notify the Penitentiary Surveillance Court of these departures and it must be the magistrate who decides whether to ratify or reject it, although while the decision is taken, the inmates are in the street. In fact, the court has the report of the board on the table and awaits the letter from the Prosecutor's Office that could oppose the application of this article of the penitentiary regulations.

Almost a month ago, Cuixart left for 48 hours on his first prison permit, granted by the Department of Justice of the Generalitat , and this week the court has authorized another 72 hours. In this way, the judge opposed the Prosecutor’s criteria who considered that Cuixart was not sorry and therefore could not get out of jail.

Both Cuixart and Sànchez are entitled to 36 days of leave per year as they are classified in the second degree of prison and have already served a quarter of the nine-year prison sentence for sedition imposed by the Supreme Court. Yesterday the Board of Treatment of Mas d'Enric ( Tarragona ) authorized the application of article 100.2 to the former president of the Parliament , Carme Forcadell, and other leaders convicted of sedition who have also requested it are expected to obtain it in the coming days.
