Thousands protest against police violence in Catalonia
Thousands of protesters staged a demonstration outside the Spanish National Police regional headquarters of Catalonia in Barcelona on Tuesday against a Spanish police crackdown on a banned independence referendum that left hundreds injured.
Massive crowds filled the streets near the building waving Catalan pro-independence flags, known as 'Estelada' and chanting slogans.
As voters gathered outside polling stations on October 1 to attempt to vote in the referendum, that was declared unconstitutional by Madrid, Spanish police forcibly tried to close the voting centers.
Scenes of armored Spanish police swinging truncheons and firing rubber bullets at peaceful voters have been widely condemned, with the European Union calling for talks to break the stalemate between Madrid and Barcelona
Pro-independence groups and trade unions in Catalonia called for region-wide general strike for Tuesday but the country's largest unions rejected it saying they did not back the reasons behind calling it.
