Spain's Civil Guard told a Mallorcan to go back to Catalonia for wearing a t-shirt in support of the political prisoners. According to Congress deputy Gabriel Rufián (ERC), Miquel, a 76-year-old who attended the large demonstration in Barcelona on 11th September for the Diada, the Catalan national day, suffered the incident after he returned to Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic islands.
Rufián says the man was wearing a t-shirt reading "freedom [for the] political prisoners" when two civil guard officers stopped him and told him to go back to Catalonia. The man replied he'd been in Palma for 76 years and nobody would kick him out.
