Judge overules Spanish government ban on Catalan flags at football match

A court on Friday overturned the Spanish government's ban on Barcelona football fans from holding the Catalan flag at Sunday's Copa del Rey football cup final in Madrid.

The judge, Jesús Torres, said that as the Catalan flag does not incite "violence, racism, xenophobia or any other form of discrimination that goes against human dignity” a ban on carrying the flag would be "unconstitutional".
