Protesters clashed with police in the streets of Barcelona on Monday night, marking the seventh consecutive day of protests since the arrest of rapper Pablo Hasel. At least one protester was seen getting arrested and brought into a police car. Demonstrators set garbage containers on fire and threw projectiles at law enforcement. According to the local police, 700 people demonstrated in Barcelona on Monday. Hasel was arrested last week by the Catalan police at the University of Lleida, where he had barricaded himself the day before with several supporters who wanted to prevent his arrest. He was sentenced to nine months and one day in prison for publishing "tweets that included videos inciting violence," as well as messages that the magistrates considered "glorifying terrorism and insulting to the Crown and other state institutions, such as the security forces." #spain #barcelona #pablohasel #FuckTheCrown
