The historic Catalan town of Salt has suffered two consecutive nights of riots following the arrest of a sub-Saharan imam. He had been evicted from a house he had illegally occupied for five years without paying rent. In response, immigrant groups and radical left-wing activists have vandalised property, attacked the police, set fire to dumpsters, and damaged urban infrastructure.
Asylum seekers have been rioting for 2 consecutive night in Salt, Spain this week.
The unrest started after a radical imam and his friends were evicted from a building they were illegally occupying.
