Pro-independence protesters gathered in front of the Cathedral of Barcelona on November 8 to rally for the release of political prisoners.

Eight Catalan leaders were detained on November 2 following a court ruling that an October independence referendum was illegal. Among those being held in prison are former Deputy Vice President Oriol Junqueras and Interior Minister Joaquim Forn. The leaders were detained for alleged rebellion, sedition and misuse of public funds.
