More than 1 million march in support of Catalan independence, political prisoners
More than 1 million people marched in Barcelona on September 11 in support of Catalonia’s struggle for independence from the Spanish state. The day is marked each year as Catalonia’s national day, commemorating Barcelona's capture by Bourbon forces in 1714 during the War of Spanish Succession.
This year’s march also demanded the release of pro-independence political prisoners, who have been jailed for their role in last year’s independence referendum.
