Catalan independence protesters clash with police in Barcelona

Scuffles erupted between pro-Catalan independence protesters and police officers in central Barcelona, on Friday, March 23.

Police clashed with protesters at Plaza de Catalunya in Barcelona, who were protesting against the decision of the Spanish Supreme Court in remanding several Catalan politicians over their involvement in the failed push for independence last fall.

The demonstrators with Catalan flags and placards reading 'United against repression' marched through the center, where they faced riot police squads.

According to the reports, several protesters were injured.
