Prosecutor’s Office in Spain is asking for 14, 7 and 3 years in prison for three youngsters, for the crimes of being disorderly and assaulting authority by participating in one of the Urquinaona square protests, against the Spanish Supreme Court’s ruling on the independence leaders, on October 18th, 2019.

 They reported to the court of the 6th section of the Barcelona Audience, this Wednesday, that they were mistreated by agents of the Spanish police.
