Barcelona (Spain), Oct 02 (ANI): Nearly 337 people have been injured, some seriously, after Spanish police in riot gear cracked down on voters by firing rubber bullets and stormed polling stations to confiscate ballot boxes to halt the Catalonia independence referendum. But, Catalans managed to cast their ballots in the poll, which the Spanish authorities have declared illegal. The voting has been marred by a brutal police crackdown in which several instances of violence against voters have been recorded and in some places ballot boxes were forcibly seized by the Spanish police. Catalonia’s pro-independence regional government has pressed ahead with the referendum despite implacable opposition from the Spanish state.
