Spain's Supreme Court Sentences Catalan Separatist Leaders To Prison

In 2017, Catalan leaders organized an independence referendum deemed illegal by Spain. Despite this, the Catalan government proceeded, leading to a declaration of independence. Spain nullified this declaration, dissolved Catalonia's parliament, and took control. In 2019, Spain's Supreme Court sentenced the leaders for sedition, sparking protests in Catalonia. The ruling came just before Spain's fourth election in four years.
