Catalan separatists leave prison after Spain pardon
FRANCE24, 23 Jun 2021
The pardoned #Catalan #separatists who were serving long prison sentences for their role in a failed 2017 independence bid were released from jail Wednesday. As seven of the nine prisoners walked out of Lledoners prison, around 70 kilometres northwest of #Barcelona, they were greeted by dozens of supporters who chanted "Independence, independence!". Two other female prisoners were released from separate facilities also on Wednesday. FRANCE 24's Sarah Morris tells us more.
