Violent protests over the jailing of rapper Pablo Hasel resumed in Barcelona, reportedly leading to more than a dozen arrests as rioters torched a police van, threw objects at officers and damaged banks and other businesses. Video footage posted Saturday on Twitter shows men in dark hoodies dousing a police van with flammable liquid to stoke a larger fire. El Mundo newspaper reported that a driver was inside the van as the rioters caused the fire to spread. 🔺🔥Incendie d'un véhicule de #police à #Barcelone ce soir durant la #manifestation de soutien à #PabloHasel🔺🔥#Barcelona #police #protest #pablohazel #eventos #reporter #spain #espagne #espana #Catalonia #Catalogne #LibertadPabloHasel #PabloHaselLlibertat pic.twitter.com/bb4TDzwNP6 — 🌍Arcanah🌿⭐✊ (@Arcanah3) February 27, 2021 Video shot from another angle near the same scene shows people throwing bottles, flares and other objects at a group of police vehicles and spray-painting the vehicles with anarchist symbols.

Protests began in Barcelona and Madrid after Hasel was arrested on February 16. The rapper, whose real name is Pablo Rivadulla, was jailed over a 2018 conviction. A court found that his social media posts and lyrics praised Spanish terrorist groups and mocked Spain's royalty, in violation of the country's so-called "gag law."
