Sound like what Starfleet did with Marquis at end of Star Trek Deep space nine LOL I am such a Trekkie LOL!
Spain's lower house of parliament, the Congress of Deputies, approved on Thursday a bill granting amnesty to Catalans involved in a 2017 independence referendum.
The bill passed with 178 votes in favor and 172 against.
Justice Minister Felix Bolanos says the amnesty law would affect "around 400 people."
The plans to provide amnesty to Catalan separatists has been controversial, sparking far-right demonstrations late last year.
What else do we know about the bill?
While Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's Socialists initially expressed unwillingness to provide amnesty, elections in July resulted in a hung parliament and Sanchez required the support of Catalan separatist party Junts to form a government.
