PRO-INDEPENDENCE campaigners from Catalunya will stage a protest march in Brussels today (Thursday) calling for the release of four politicians who remain behind bars for their role in the disputed referendum on October 1.
Under the slogan Despierta Europa ('Wake up, Europe'), the march has been organised by the Catalunya National Assembly (ANC) and Òmnium Cultural, whose leaders, Jordi Sànchez and Jordi Cuixart respectively, are currently in jail.
