Thousands poured into the streets of Barcelona to show their anger after Spain's Supreme Court jailed nine Catalan separatist leaders to between nine and 13 years each
MADRID/BARCELONA - Spain’s Supreme Court on Monday jailed nine Catalan separatist leaders for between nine and 13 years for their role in a failed independence bid, a decision that triggered mass protests in the region and left the future course of the dispute uncertain.
Local media cited health services as saying over 50 people required medical attention after the clashes. “Today we are all convicted, not just 12 people,” said the president of the Catalan parliament, Roger Torrent. Three other defendants were found guilty of disobedience and not sentenced to prison. All defendants were acquitted of the gravest charge, rebellion.
