Cassandra Vera tweeted several jokes concerning the assassination by ETA of a high-ranking official of Francisco Franco's dictatorship, in 1973. She was prosecuted and found guilty of  glorifying terrorism and humiliating victims of terrorism under Article 578 of the Spanish Penal Code. On appeal, the Supreme Court acquitted her on the grounds that the tweets were satirical, that the assassination occurred a long time ago and that her posts could no longer pose a threat to national security.
