Spanish police in the Basque region said they have dispersed a banned march and arrested at least five separatist sympathizers in the northern seaside city of San Sebastian.
An AP reporter at the scene says regional police charged at the gathering of several hundred people marching in support of ETA prisoners. The protesters hurled bottles and rocks at police.
The regional government had banned Sunday's march after it was organized by a group that favors amnesty for prisoners held for Basque separatism related crimes.
ETA has been waging a violent campaign that has killed more that 825 people since the late 1960s as it aims to carve out an independent Basque nation in parts of northern Spain and southwestern France.
