Two hundred thousand people demonstrated this evening on the streets of Barcelona to protest the arrests of two separatist Catalan leaders yesterday, according to local authorities.
"Independence" criticized the crowd, demanding the release of Zorni Quassart and Zorzi Sanchez, head of two of the most important separatist organizations in Catalonia, Omnium Cultural and the Catalan National Assembly (ANC).
A Spanish judge ordered on Monday to detain Kuwart and Sanchez, accused of stopping by a Spanish court in charge of national security affairs.
