• Gender violence María Salmerón, victim of ill-treatment: "They put me in jail for protecting and respecting the will of my daughter"

The Sevillian

María Salmerón

, sentenced to a nine-month prison sentence for not allowing her husband -

convicted of sexist violence - to visit her daughter, will enter the

Seville I

prison this Friday

, after the appeal filed to avoid the incarceration.

The head of the investigating court number 6 of Seville rejected last Wednesday Salmerón's appeal to avoid his entry into prison, with which, except for last minute news, he will

enter the prison he has chosen

, which is the closest to his home.

María Salmerón

delivered this week

102,000 signatures in support

of her cause at the Government Delegation in Andalusia, in Seville, and announced that her lawyers have filed a new appeal.

For the convicted person, her imprisonment makes no sense, since "nobody goes to prison when they are sentenced to nine months", and she maintains that, having been pardoned three times, this sentence must be considered without taking into account her previous background.

Salmerón was sentenced to nine months in prison and the payment of 3,000 euros in civil liability, which she paid 24 hours before learning of the judge's decision to enter prison, despite the fact that she hoped to evade income with that payment. .

The woman,

pardoned on several occasions

, requested grace again after being sentenced in 2020 by a court in Seville to the aforementioned penalty for a

continued crime of serious disobedience to authority

with the aggravating circumstance of recidivism.
