Nineteen people who took part in a 22 June protest at MSC’s Valencia headquarters face criminal summonses, El Salto reports. Five are scheduled to give statements to a judge at Valencia’s City of Justice on 16 November. The case gives a specific protest action immediate legal consequences for those summoned, but a summons is not a finding of liability.
According to the report, the suspected offence is an offence against liberty. The supplied material does not describe the conduct alleged against each of the 19 people or the evidence behind the accusation. It also contains no response from prosecutors, police or MSC.
The action at the shipping company’s building involved two banners and a gathering at the entrance, according to El Salto. BDS País Valencià said it formed part of its campaign to end arms trade with Israel and alleged that MSC cooperates with Israeli logistics. Those are the group’s stated grounds for the protest, rather than conclusions established by the reported case.
The activists’ lawyer, quoted by El Salto via La Directa, says images and video show that the action was peaceful, fell within the right to protest and ended with participants leaving voluntarily. That account matters to the scope of the case, though the available reporting does not include an official answer to it.
The 16 November appearance is the next concrete procedural step: five people are due to give their accounts to the judge. Treating the summonses as an advance conviction would erase the central distinction between a reported accusation and a judicial ruling, neither of which the supplied material says has yet been delivered.
