THE Association for the Freedom of Valencia CFa group that represents fans who question the management of the current management, denounced this Tuesday “the abuse orchestrated by Peter Lim” about the couple detained in Singapore.
Daniel and Mireiaa couple from Valencia, fans of Valencia CF and residents of Bétera, remain detained in this Asian country after authorities withdrew their passports last Friday. The events occurred after a protest against local businessman and main shareholder of the Mestalla team, Peter Lim.
“It is essential to remember that they are in the custody of a state that is among the world’s leading human rights violators, which increases the risk to them and requires an urgent response from our institutions” , they added.
At this point they claimed “immediate release“from his fellow citizens and called on all Valencians, whether clubs, groups, associations and other entities, to express their rejection “of those who do not respect the fundamental principles of coexistence.”
“THE freedom of opinion and expression She should not be persecuted in any modern democracy,” the group said.
Finally, they denounced that the abuses “are orchestrated by Peter Lim”, since they consider that relations with institutions are oriented towards their own benefit and are “absolutely incompatible” with society and the rights that constitute it.
Diplomatic efforts
The mayor of Valencia, Maria José Cataláassured this Tuesday that the Spanish Embassy in Singapore is assisting these two supporters of the Valence and expressed confidence that diplomatic efforts would help resolve their situation.
“They are assisted at all times by embassy officials and advised by the consul, also Valencian. And they benefit from all the assistance of the Embassy of the Government of Spain,” Catalá said in statements to the media at the town hall. .
The selected fans are a couple who took advantage of their honeymoon to visit Singapore, where Lim is from and where he resides.
In statements to EL ESPAÑOL, José Antonio Pérezpresident of the Valence CF Liberté Association, confirmed that a few weeks before leaving on their honeymoon, the couple had contacted management to ask them a flag and stickers.
“Dani wanted to protest there peacefully, taking photos and posting them on social media to justify what Peter Lim did here at Valencia CF,” the coach explained.
“‘Let foreigners know what’s happening here and better than in your country’. That’s the idea he had. We didn’t fall into the idea of telling him ‘be careful’ because we didn’t think the act he committed could be so exaggerated,” Perez continued.
The president of the Valencian entity estimated that “on Dani’s part there is no altercation or damage to any property.” “Your complaint simply aims to publish on social networks what is in Singapore, in the country of the man who killed Valencia CF“, he noted.
According to the Association representative, there was an incident involving Peter Lim: “Those who hold them back the first time are two private agents. They do not identify themselves as police officers or state organs. To date, they have not been identified either. For us, Peter Lim is directly involved and we believe that these agents were part of his private security. And we report it. We think it’s no coincidence“.
In this sense, he believes that there is “an end point” after the event. “I don’t think Peter Lim can be treated the same way. This is the straw that broke the camel’s back” he said.
