Spain's Constitutional Court has ordered five Catalan separatist leaders back to jail. The ruling followed the defendants’ testimonies in the case of rebellion, sedition and misuse of public money that has been leveled against them by the state prosecutor. Meanwhile, Madrid has vowed to issue an arrest warrant against all fugitive Catalan officials. Press TV correspondent Kusai Kedri reports.
