Videos: Police Use Tear Gas, Rubber Bullets to Desperse Pablo Hasel Protesters in Madrid, Spain

Protests have swept through big cities in Spain recently over the arrest of rapper Pablo Hasel, who was convicted for “slander against the crown” concerning his provocative song lyrics and social media posts.

Several dozens of people have been detained during the ongoing protests in support of jailed rapper Pablo Hasel across Spain, a Sputnik correspondent reported.

The Catalan law enforcement bodies, Mossos de Escuadra, told Sputnik that 29 people had been detained across Catalonia.

The demonstration quickly turned into riots in the neighboring streets as protesters were seen throwing projectiles at law enforcement officers. Several people were reportedly injured during the clashes.

According to another video, a barricade was set on fire.

Riots also took place in Barcelona, where protesters overturned trash containers and built barricades.

​Similar demonstrations that took place on Tuesday also ended up in riots. Several dozen people were injured, at least 18 were detained.
