The Spanish government is trying to extradite University of St. Andrews Professor Clara Ponsati to Spain. Today, she and her legal team launched a new campaign to raise funds for her extradition hearing that begins on the 30th of July. Clara’s first campaign received contributions from thousands of backers - and we’ve put together some of the most powerful comments that people have left in support.
