SOT. Jil Love (in English): "This is about freedom of speech, freedom of expression which is in the Spanish Constitution and it's about expressing how you feel, what you want to say about the government, about the austerity measures about the government cuts ... Because we have this law, Gag Law, which was approved back in June, so they can fine you, they can arrest you for protesting against government ... you know? and this is not right and we are here to say 'no, you are not going to shut us up'"

The activist and performer Jil Love made an unusual performance Thursday as a protest against a so-called 'gag law', which was approved last June.
The performance was carried out in the middle of the well-known central street of Gran Via. For more than one hour, Love was covered in duct tape and her team invited people to write on her body.
The law makes it possible for the government to fine activists who take part in unauthorised public protests.
