These protests have resulted in the death of a German national due to dehydration, and resulted in a British Citizen of Gibraltar, being knocked off his bicycle, assaulted and kept in Jail by the Spanish police without reason nor charges. with access being refused to his family.

We, the people of Gibraltar, hereby petition the British Government to stand up for its British Citizens and stop this never ending Spanish claim to Sovereignty and Aggression. All we desire is to live in peace in our little country, as the proud British Citizens we are
