<p>The protesters began gathering on the AP-7 highway on Tuesday night and by Wednesday morning had built several large barricades out of tree limbs and the road’s metal barriers.</p>
<p>Police vans arrived after several hours. When lines of police in riot gear advanced, the protesters retreated while setting fire to some of the barricades.</p>

<p>The regional civilian protection authority said emergency services had distributed water, food and blankets to drivers and passengers who had been trapped during the night.</p>
<p>It said 84 people were taken by bus to a nearby sports centre to rest for a few hours.</p>
<p>The protesters were angered by the recent imprisonment of nine pro-independence politicians and activists.</p>
<p>French police detained 18 Catalan protesters on Tuesday who had blocked a major border crossing between Spain and France for several hours.</p>
