LIVE & UNCENSORED: Protests in Barcelona over the arrest of Rapper Pablo Hasel

POLITICALITE is LIVE and Uncensored in Barcelona as protesters take to the streets to demand the release of a rapper who was arrested over offensive tweets.

Pablo Hasel was arrested on Tuesday morning at the rectorate of the University of Lleida. Hasel, alongside a group of supporters, had barricaded themselves inside the building in protest of his sentence.

According to a court ruling, Pablo Hasel faces a nine-month jail term for publishing ‘tweets with videos that incited violence,’ as well as messages that the magistrates consider to have ‘exalted terrorism and humiliated the Crown and other state institutions, such as the Armed Forces and the police forces.’
