Spain's Supreme Court denied former Catalan Vice President Oriol Junqueras' request to be released from prison on bail.
Three judges ruled on Friday that Junqueras would remain in prison, where he has been for two months, believing that he could rejoin the pursuit of Catalan independence after his release. Junqueras has been held in prison since early November while investigators look into claims of sedition, rebellion and misuse of public funds against him.
Junqueras told the court he would obey the law if released, saying he is "a man of peace."
However, the judges said "there is no sign that the defendant has any intention of abandoning the route he has followed until now."
