Read in Catalan

After spending two nights in prison, Catalan vice-president Oriol Junqueras has sent a series of messages via Twitter through his team this morning.

Translation: Junqueras sends us this message: "If the price of freedom is prison, we will never give up on freedom."

I'm convinced that we, all democrats, will fight without fading. 

And finally: "Thank you all those sending your warmth to me and the rest of my colleagues. We love you a lot. Onwards.

Also this morning, also via Twitter, Catalan president Carles Puigdemont sent his own message from Belgium in which he referred to his imprisoned vice-president and ministers.
