Police Face Off With Pro-Catalan Protesters at Barcelona Airport
Thousands of pro-Catalan demonstrators marched on Barcelona’s El Prat Airport on Monday, October 14, objecting to the Spanish supreme court’s decision to sentence separatist leaders to several years in prison, reports said.
Protesters on foot blocked traffic on a highway leading to the airport and disrupted airport service, including delaying and canceling flights, reports said.
Barcelona’s police force, the Mossos, and officers from the National Police confronted protesters inside the airport, hitting people with batons, launching tear gas, and making arrests, according to local reports.
Pro-independence leader Carlos Puigdemont spoke from Brussels and called for Catalan independence supporters to reject the sentences.
