Catalonia's separatist leader Carles Puigdemont demands an amnesty for hundreds of activists facing legal action over a failed 2017 separatist bid in the northeastern region of Spain. Puigdemont urges for a "historic agreement" to "remember victims" and "repair injustice". "The first of October was not a crime, nor was the declaration of independence," the leader says, referring to the independence referendum on 1 October 2017. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
