TEHRAN, October 01 - Catalonia's regional government has returned to a school in northern Catalonia where police stormed in to bar people from voting in a banned independence referendum one year ago.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Student strikes, emotional speeches and mass demonstrations are planned to commemorate Monday the vote that caused Spain's gravest political crisis in decades.
In Sant Julia de Ramis, the northern town where Catalan president Carles Puigdemont was scheduled to vote on the morning of Oct. 1, 2017, the regional separatist authorities are addressing supporters with a banner reading "We won't forget, nor will we pardon" behind them.
A year ago, anti-riot police entered the school-turned-polling station, injuring hundreds in front of cameras broadcasting the incidents live.
Puigdemont who ended up voting in another polling station, is now sought in Spain under preliminary charges of rebellion. He has so far fought off extradition to Spain from both Germany and Belgium.
