On January 8, Galician independentist Hadriám Mosquera was arrested by officers of the Spanish police in a forest close to the town of Ames, where he currently lived. He was immediately transferred to Madrid, where he has entered jail, and has reported tortures and abuse during his detention. The day after, several gatherings were held around Galiza and in the Santiago de Compostela one, riots were reported, with several trash bins being burnt and bank offices attacked. No one was arrested.
