| Subject: Catalan Separatist Leader Is Freed In Italy Until A Hearing Over Extradition To Spain Sun Sep 26, 2021 12:10 am | |
| Catalan separatist leader Carles Puigdemont left a jail in Sardinia on Friday after a judge ruled that he could go free pending an Oct. 4 hearing on his extradition to Spain, where the political firebrand is wanted for sedition.
Puigdemont, the former president of Spain's Catalonia region and a member of the European Union parliament, left the jail in Sassari a day after he had been detained by police. He had been invited to attend a Catalan cultural event and a meeting of Sardinian independence sympathizers on the Mediterranean island.
"Spain never misses the opportunity to be ridiculous. #NoSurrender," Puigdemont tweeted after he left the jail. Mobbed by reporters outside the gates, he said of his less than 24 hours behind bars: "Very good, no problem. The police and prison guards were very professional, very serious people."
The judge who authorized his release ruled hours earlier that Puigdemont was free to travel without restrictions.
