I know we are not that many, and that some may not understand what we are doing here on the train tracks, but we have no other way of protesting. All this was because they wouldn't let us put ballots in ballot boxes so we have no other choice but to protest this way." 11. Empty train tunnel 12. Various of demonstrators on train tracks STORYLINE: Activists advocating for Catalan secession are blocking major highways, train lines and avenues across the northeastern region, one year after a banned referendum crushed by police failed to deliver an independent state. Monday's protests have been called on online messaging apps by the Committees for the Defence of the Republic, local activist groups that emerged after the Oct. 1, 2017 unauthorised vote. In Girona, hundreds of activists occupied in the early morning the high-speed railway tracks in the Girona station, north of Barcelona, while regional police tried to stop more protesters from entering the facilities. Local media also reported road blockages in the AP-7 highway, the main artery along eastern Catalonia leading to the French border, and in central streets of the cities of Lleida and Barcelona, the regional capital. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
