I was really troubled and disappointed in the nation of Spain when I heard the sentencing today:
> Spain's Supreme Court has sentenced nine Catalan separatist leaders to between nine and 13 years in prison for sedition over their role in the 2017 independence referendum.
(sedition: "conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or monarch")
I understand why it is in the interest of governments to punish these things harshly, but I don't think it's right. This is shameful.
