What do the Spanish citizens do about this horrendous gag law. They decide to protest via holograms just circumventing the “triad gag” legislation. Spanish citizens held the first hologram protest in history in order to protest without violating the new draconian guidelines of the National Security Act, the new amendments to the Penal Code and the Anti-terror law. A video released to make the Spanish citizens aware of the movement called “Hologramas para la Libertad” states that “If you are a person you can not express yourself freely, you can only do that here if you become a hologram.”
The organisers of movement invited citizens by writing a text message, leaving a recorded voice message, or converting themselves into a hologram by recording a video via webcam. The hologram protest was very successful, here are some tweets from the Spanish citizens:

Under the new Citizen Safety Law called Ley Mordaza (Gag Law) by the citizen activists and human rights defenders, public protests, freedoms of speech and the press and documenting police abuses will become crimes punishable by heavy fines and/or jail. It remains to be seen whether the hologram protests will move the Spanish government into dismantling the draconian law.
