Demands for the release of nine Catalonian independence leaders continue in Barcelona, with the latest protest attracting hundreds of thousands. Spain has charged 12 politicians and independence activists from Catalonia with rebellion, after they organized a referendum on secession last October that led Madrid to seize control of the region.
