nothing I read about this group on Wikipedia points to terrorism, it repeatedly says they advocate nonviolence
I guess these days though it's become some kind of magic password to get whatever the hell you want
Well, basque indepence movement involved several deaths, including "civilians", non politics or police related until 2000s, and people react quite pacific always.
Whereas catalan movement is basically pacifist with some roadblocks and protests and some riots. In front, the typical anti riot police, not fun... but kind of expected.
Honestly, I will be not surprised if this case ends in nothing as it is not clear it can hold in court ...
