MASS PROTEST OF BARCELONA'S PHOTOGRAPHERS

On Friday March 20, a large majority of the Barcelona press photographers demostrated in front of Barcelona’s Palau de la Generalitat, the building of the autonomous government of Catalonia. The protest was due to the excessive repression of the Mossos d’Esquadra, the Catalan autonomous police, toward the students that complained about the plan of Bologna, and the press covering the act. Thirty journalist, mostly photographers, were attacked despite carrying clearly visible, the identification bracelet. The photographers placed their cameras on the ground while flying pictures of wounded comrades on Wednesday.
