Riot police also blocked the doors of the busses, so nobody could get out.
Right now, the activists are considering what to do next.

Earlier today (around midday), there was a demo in Perpignan with around 1000 to 1500 people towards the Spanish conculate. The whole street of the consulate was declared forbidden zone by the riot police. When a delegation of the activists asked for a permission to negotiate with the consul, it got refused.
