At a public demonstration held during the King’s official visit to Girona in September 2007, Enric Stern Taulats and Jaume Roura Capellera set fire to a photograph of the royal couple. They were prosecuted and convicted for insulting the Crown. Both were initially sentenced to 15 months’ imprisonoment, though this was later made conditional on the payment of a fine. The European Court of Human Rights ruled the convictions disproportionate. The Spanish authorities have yet to take action in relation to the free speech issue involved.
