SPAIN-CATALONIA-POLITICS-PRISONERS-PROTEST

People unfold a big Catalan pro-independence 'estelada' flag with a yellow ribbon on it during a demonstration to support Catalan pro-independence jailed leaders and politicians and called by 'Espai Democracia i Convivencia' platform that groups separatist collectives and unions in Barcelona on April 15, 2018. Thousands of people marched in Barcelona today to protest the jailing of nine Catalan separatist leaders facing trial on "rebellion" charges. Many chanted "Freedom for the political prisoners" as they massed on the Parallel Avenue, one of the city's main streets, wearing yellow scarves, sweaters or jackets -- the colour chosen to show solidarity with the jailed leaders.
