- Story Text: Spanish police charged against Catalan pro-independence protesters at the entrance to the Barcelona international airport on Monday (October 14) after Spain's Supreme Court jailed nine separatist leaders.
Video footage showed police using batons on some of the demonstrators and firing foam projectiles. Some of the protesters were masked and hooded and pushed and shoved police in return. There were some detentions.
Thousands of people were gathered outside and dozens were in one of the access halls to the airport. The airport authority said at least 100 flights had been cancelled due to the protests.
