Spain braces for fifth night of protest over arrest of Pablo Hasél

Police and demonstrators clashed again in Barcelona during demonstrations over the jailing of Pablo Hasel

Police and demonstrators in Barcelona clashed for a fifth night on Saturday, with thousands taking to the streets across Spain to protest against the jailing of a controversial rapper for glorifying terrorism and insulting royalty in his music and on Twitter.

Angry demonstrations first erupted on Tuesday after police detained Pablo Hasel, 32, and took him to jail to start serving a nine-month sentence in a highly contentious free speech case.
