Protests Erupt at Barcelona Airport over Sentencing of Catalan Leaders
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Protests are continuing in Barcelona following the Spanish Supreme
Court's decision to sentence nine Catalan separatist leaders to prison
over their role in Catalonia's 2017 bid for independence. On Monday,
thousands of protesters blocked access to Barcelona's airport. More than
100 flights were canceled.
