Rubber bullets fired at crowds in Madrid day after Pablo Hasél was detained on charges of glorifying terrorism
Police have fired teargas, rubber bullets and sound bombs at thousands of protesters in Madrid, the day after a rapper was arrested on charges of glorifying terrorism and insulting royalty in his songs.
Protests in the capital’s central Plaza de Sol square were initially peaceful, with people clapping their hands in unison and chanting, “No more police violence” and “Freedom for Pablo Hasél”, the rapper detained in the Catalan city of Lleida on Tuesday.
