|
[PRESSTV] Thousands of students erupted into the streets of Barcelona on Thursday to protest against Monday's supreme court ruling that tossed in the calaboose
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
nine Catalan separatist leaders for up to 13 years.
The sentence has triggered a series of violent protests over three nights which saw demonstrators cutting off access to Barcelona's airports, molotov cocktails being hurled and infrastructures being set alight in various cities in the region as police used foam projectiles to try to disperse the crowds.
Regional leader Quim Torra issued a televised address shortly after midnight on Thursday calling on protesters to stop the violence.
Police in Catalonia have detained 97 protesters since unrest broke out on Monday, Spain's acting Interior Minister Fernando Grande-Marlaska said on Thursday, adding there will be "no impunity".
The Spanish government and the Catalan regional government have both condemned violent actions and have said they will protect the fundamental right of assembly and peaceful protest.
