Overview

The Associació Catalana pels Drets Civils (Catalan Association for Civil Rights) is a civil society organization created in 2017 by the families of political prisoners and exiles connected to the Catalan independence process. It was established as a joint platform to give voice to those repressed, support their families, channel expressions of solidarity, and defend the rights of Catalan political prisoners. The association operates primarily in Catalonia, Spain, and maintains an official website at adretscivils.cat. It is not a commercial company but a rights advocacy group; its activities include public events, book presentations, and awareness campaigns. In 2018 it received the Premi Canigó from the Universitat Catalana d'Estiu, the Premi 2N in the national category for anti-fascist and freedom struggle, and the Premi Caterina Casas for the defense and promotion of national values. The organization continues to be active, as shown by its website's event listings and social media presence.
