Footage has emerged of a crowd in southern Catalonia blocking a highway to protest the imprisonment of eight members of the regional government.

The video, captured this morning (November 3), shows dozens of people sitting on the middle of a highway in Les Cases d'Alcanar, forcing traffic to come to a standstill.

The protesters can be seen clapping hands as they shout, "Libertat (freedom)!"

According to local reports, several highways and railways have been shut down by demonstrators today in the region.

A judge in Madrid sitting on Spain’s national court jailed eight former Catalan government ministers on November 2 while they are investigated on possible charges of sedition, rebellion and misuse of public funds.
