Supreme Court revokes reduced prison status for Spain’s nine jailed Catalan politicians
Spain’s Supreme Court has revoked a less restrictive prison status awarded to nine Catalan political figures previously sentenced to jail for their part in a secession attempt in Catalonia.
The status would have allowed them almost daily release.
The court said that such a measure was ‘premature’ given that none of the nine had served half their sentence and most not even a quarter of it.
