A statement from the Spanish Prime Minister’s Office said that 33 people have been arrested during this period.
What is the whole matter
Spain’s Supreme Court on Monday sentenced nine pro-separatist leaders from 9 to 13 years sentence. It also includes the former Vice President of Catalan. They were blamed for instigating major conflicts in Catalonia. Catalonia is like an Autonomous region of Spain and the people of this region have been fighting for their independence here for a long time.

The struggle for independence of Catalonia dates back to the 1930s. Catalonia has always fought for its independence.
Violent protest
The protest intensified after the Supreme Court sentenced 9 people. During this, there was a clash between the protesters and the police. 40 thousand people took to the streets to protest against this decision. The protesters threw various types of objects at the police officers. Apart from this, the garbage cans were also set on fire. The police also resorted to beating the mob to stop the violence.
