BARCELONA (Reuters) - Dozens of protesters crowded into Barcelona's main railway station on Saturday in the latest show of dissent to grip the city more than a month after a Spanish court handed stiff prison sentences to nine Catalan separatist leaders.
Protesters poured into Barcelona's Sants station, some staging a sit-in while a handful scuffled with police, heeding a call by a separatist group known as CDR. The organisation had urged people to show up at nine railway stations across Barcelona in hopes of provoking what they described as a "total blockage" on social media.
