Thousands attended a concert in Barcelona demanding the freedom of
eight pro-independence Catalan politicians and two activists charged
with sedition.
The eight former members of Catalonia’s dismissed regional government
and activists Jordi Cuixart and Jordi Sanchez appeared before the
Supreme Court to request their release while they await trial in the
wake of a disputed independence referendum.
Seven of the eight former government officials and Jordi Sanchez,
former head of the Catalan National Assembly (ANC), a pro-independence
grassroots organisation, are candidates in the upcoming December 21
elections.
