Catalan separatists took to the streets of Barcelona Monday after many of their leaders were jailed by Spain’s Supreme Court over an attempt to break away from Spain in 2017.
Demonstrators blocked some of the city’s main avenues, as well as highways outside the regional capital, collapsed access to the city’s airport and cut off one high-speed train line. The metro from the city center to the airport was disrupted.
