Big Pro-Catalan Rally Staged in Madrid
Tens of thousands of supporters of Catalan independence have rallied in Spain's capital Madrid in protest at an ongoing trial of 12 separatist leaders, BBC reports.
Many waved Catalan flags and had placards reading "Self-determination is not a crime".
Protest organisers said 120,000 people marched in Madrid. Spanish police put the number at just 18,000.
The separatist leaders of Catalonia's failed 2017 independence bid face rebellion and sedition charges.
If convicted, some could face up to 25 years in prison.
