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 protests in the region and left the future course of the dispute uncertain.
Barcelona’s international airport became the focal point of the protests. As thousands rallied at its entrance, riot police charged at the crowd using batons to prevent the risk of a forced mass entry, a police spokesman said.
