Hundreds of Catalans have appeared in various Catalan courts to accuse themselves of being responsible for the referendum held on 1 October 2017. They have done so as a symbol to show their disagreement with the ruling against Catalan political prisoners. All these people have been presented in the capitals that give their names to the four Catalan provinces: Barcelona, Lleida, Girona and Tarragona.

Marcel Mauri said that “if politicians have been convicted, the nearly two and a half million people who voted on 1 October 2017 or all who joined the peaceful demonstration on 20 September should also be condemned.” "The vice-president of the Mnium added that they want, in terms of the number of defendants, to be the most massive known case in history," she added.
