A group of activists from the Canarian Network for Migrants’ Rights, who staged a demonstration in front of the Moroccan consulate on September 18th to protest the death of a sub-Saharan migrant attempting to reach the Canary Islands, has been fined 600 euros for an “unauthorized gathering.”
Despite several unsuccessful administrative appeals, the Government Delegation demanded 720 euros in late fees from Koldobi Velasco, one of the protesters.
Following the protest, the activists received the fine notification, which indirectly referenced exceeding the allowed gathering size and failure to inform the delegation.
The activists have encountered rejections in their defense appeals, but they remain determined to pursue administrative litigation.
Their demands include political accountability and safe migration pathways asserting the right to express themselves without fear of reprisal. As the legal battle continues, the activists aim to make their voices heard and secure justice for their cause.
