Catalan firefighters unfold a large banner with a ballot box and reading "Love Democracy" in front of the Museum of History of Catalonia on September 28, 2017 in Barcelona. Over the past days, judges and prosecutors have ordered the seizure of electoral material including millions of ballot papers, the closure of websites linked to the vote and the detention of key members of the team organising the referendum. The electoral board set up to oversee the vote has been dissolved, and prosecutors ordered police to seal off places to be used as polling stations and guard them until October 1. / AFP PHOTO / LLUIS GENE
