With brutal charges the Spanish police beat thousand of peaceful protestators injuring 131 of them. Four out of six have been jailed. In the wake of such brutality agains unarmed, peaceful demonstrators a wave of protests spearhead though Catalonia.

Several rallies called to reject the verdict descended into turmoil as Spanish and Catalan police officers charged against proSpanish and Catalan riot police attacked pro-independence supporters in Barcelona and other major towns like Girona, Tarragona and Lleida on Tuesday night, on the second day of widespread protests against the sentencing of nine Catalan pro-independence leaders.

They kicked off from the cities of Girona, Vic, Berga, Tàrrega, Castelledfels and Tarragona, and each route consisted of walking 100 kilometers over three days, from Wednesday to Friday. The massive marches were more successful than expected and entered Barcelona on Friday with 750,000 people. The same day a General Strike was followed massively in Catalonia. Almost all activity was stopped.


On Friday 54 Catalan people were hijacked and 182 injured by a real carnage of Spanish armed policemen against demonstrators in Girona, Tarragona, Barcelona and Lleida.  The police shooting, beating and hiting disrupted the peaceful Catalan rallies like savages. The Spanish was out of Catalonia and jocked about injured demonstrators as well as their blood, took photographies of them after beatings and threatened and insulted Catalans only fofr being a national minority. Peaceful and civical disobedience has been, and is, the key of the Catalan national movement but five people have lost their eyes in olny 5 days by shots; 572 have been injured, 170 arrested. All of this for asking for a Democratic Referendum. Moreover 58 journalists have denounced being attacked bt the Spanish police.
