Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has confirmed plans to pardon Catalan separatists this week.
Nine leaders were jailed for sedition over a failed independence attempt in 2017. Another three were found guilty of disobedience but not jailed.
Their pardons will be sent to the cabinet on Tuesday.
Tens of thousands of people protested against the plans earlier this month, but the government says the move will help calm tensions over Catalonia.
The semi-autonomous region's drive for independence almost four years ago plunged Spain into its biggest political crisis in 40 years.
Opponents, however, have accused the Spanish government of using the plans to gain political support....bbc
