Catalonia braces for more protests as separatists set to rally in Barcelona

Catalonia is bracing itself for a further day of protests as pro-secessionist groups call for demonstrations in Barcelona over the jailing of their leaders.

Two grassroots pro-secession organisations, ANC and Omnium, whose leaders Jordi Sanchez and Jordi Cuixart were sentenced for sedition, have called for a march at 5 pm local time, while Catalan leader Quim Torra is expected to speak after meetings with regional mayors.

Also, in Barcelona Saturday, a rally by the Hablemos-Parlem group in Plaza Sant Jaume will see protesters dressed in white calling for dialogue between Spain and Catalonia.
