About Jordi Cuixart
- Jordi Cuixart i Navarro (born 22 April 1975) is a Spanish businessman, politician and cultural activist from Catalonia.
- He is the president of Òmnium Cultural, a non-profit cultural organisation founded in 1961 with more than 160,000 members and 40 local branches in Catalonia.
- As part of his role in the pro-independence demonstrations prior to the Catalan independence referendum of 2017, he has been imprisoned since October 2017 under charges of sedition and violent rebellion brought by the Spanish prosecutor's office.
- Cuixart was sentenced to nine years of prison for sedition.
- Amnesty International believes his detention and sentence constitutes a disproportionate restriction on his rights to free speech and peaceful assembly, and urges Spain to free him.
