Why is Pablo Hásel going to go to prison?: Gag Law, Tweets, a song and Telling Truth to Power
Pablo Hasel in the land of Gag Laws
By Carlos Escaño in AI Published on Feb 13, 2021
It seemed like it would never come, but that day finally came. Perhaps we are witnessing the last days of that coup to our rights and freedoms in 2015 that was carried out with the reforms of the Penal Code and the Law for the Protection of Citizen Security. Some reforms, which for that reason to summarize in two words and focus on their impact on freedom of expression, were dubbed by civil society as Gag Laws.
After six years marked by dozens of convictions and hundreds of thousands of fines for exercising freedom of expression, assembly and information, it seems that this time the gags can be ended, or at least in part. Last Monday the government announced a reform of the Penal Code (el gobierno anunció una reforma del Código Penal), specifically the crimes of insults to the Crown or outrages to the Spanish flag, and those that deal with the glorification of terrorism. And just over a week ago, the plenary session of the Congress of Deputies voted against an initiative of the popular group that sought to stop the reform of the Citizen Security law.
Public pressure of course is essential. In these days dozens of mobilizations, ( decenas de movilizaciones,) hundreds of artists and thousands of messages on networks have denounced that the Spanish State has come to head the list of countries that have retaliated the most artists. Although it is not a reason for joy that the trigger had to be new bad news: the conviction and imprisonment of rapper Pablo Hasel for what he says in a song and some tweets.
The sentence has been for the crimes of glorifying terrorism, insults against the Crown and against State institutions. After the cases such as those of the Puppeteers, Casandra or Cesar Strawberry,, the institutions of the Spanish State are starring in a new international show with the case of Pablo Hasel, who could be one of the first rappers in Europe to go to jail for saying so. what do you think.
Hasel’s imprisonment for his artistic expressions is unfair and disproportionate (injusto y desproporcionado )and highlights the need to eliminate the articles of the Penal Code that violate the right to freedom of expression. The crimes of exalting terrorism, insults against the crown and the institutions of the State and offense against religious sentiments must disappear from the Penal Code….

‘ On Friday 12th Feb at 8:00 p.m. the deadline for voluntarily entering prison ends. It would be an unworthy humiliation to go voluntarily after such an unjust sentence. They will have to come to kidnap me. Solidarity is still lacking to stop this serious attack on our freedoms.”
note: It is now late Monday and no news of Pablo being arrested yet. Hundreds of supporters are blocking the barricaded doors. A LAST MINUTE APPEAL TO THE HIGH COURT HAS BEEN REJECTED. The rector has given permission to the ‘Catalan’ riot police to attack, not that they needed it.
It had been hoped that the once radical left Podemos Party who hold the balance of power, would pressure for a compromise, but it seems no one will back down!
There are calls for a riot if and when Paablo is kidnapped and activists are already enraged after a severe beating of a couple by drunken cops in Linares and repression of a following protest with live fire injuring several.
On top of all that a straight nazi demonstration was given permission to march around Madrid with huge police protection!
Pablo Hasél had already announced that he has no desire to spend time behind bars and would not hand himself in.
The rapper, whose real name is Pablo Rivadulla Duró, is condemned for exalting terrorism and insulting the Monarchy in 64 tweets and a song that ridicules Juan Carlos I, the retired king in exile in Abu Dha.
However, his reply to the courts is clear and shows in a crystal clear way that he does not regret: the same day his term to enter prison expires, the Lleida man has released a new song in which he harshly charges against the current monarch, Felipe VI.
To understand the sentence against the young people of Altsasu, the imprisoned Catalan leaders and Pablo Hasel, it would be necessary to resort to the Aznar Doctrine, which would have the ultimate objective “to criminalize groups and entities that are unruly and refractory to the message of the dominant establishment of the Spanish State.”

The subject begins with an intervention by the King in which he defends -this week- freedom of expression and, after dedicating it to the “so misnamed progressive government” (for almost half a minute of the four it lasts, Hasél spits out a “initial to the Monarch and begins his rhyming diatribe, his” republican cry “.” I hate the oppressive reign, let your family eat from the rubbish bins “, he insists during a recording made in the capital of Segrià.
- Protests against Felipe VI and Letizia in Menorca kept out of the royal gaze El Nacional
- Spanish Monarchy Spanish government respects Juan Carlos I’s decision to leave and praises Felipe VI
- Former lover Corinna warns that Juan Carlos I has “hundreds of accounts” globally El Nacional
- An English mansion owned by Juan Carlos I’s ex-lover, a new focus in royal probe
“The Civil Guard examines what I feel / I’m going to say like Corinna: ‘Guillotine!’”, Proclaims Hasél, evoking Corinna zu Sayn-Wittgenstein and before recalling the machine that executed the death sentences in the French Revolution.
Warnings that without escorts “fear will come to the palace” are repeated in a rosary of darts to the Zarzuela, only interrupted by the pounding chorus: “There is no one who can take this away from me or Felipe VI / I show the truth in the return address of my text “. In addition, characters such as Princess Leonor, her mother Letizia Ortiz (whom he accuses of using being unhinged by botox), Joan Manuel Serrat (stressing that she has asked for her freedom)

Interview
Pablo Hasél: “I will never ask for pardon because that would be repentance”
The video, which has more than ten thousand views on YouTube, assures that “this rap will sound like stones against Vox”, and in it Hásel affirms that he will never be “in the prison of fear” and that his microphone “will continue being uncomfortable. ” In fact, Hasél calls them “Franco’s sons” those who have condemned him for “being frank.”
If Hasél wields his poetry to emphasize that he will not go to prison gates voluntarily, he has also insisted on his determination through prose. “They will have to come to kidnap me,” he said on Twitter, the social network that has caused him so much pain.
He has a deadline to enter prison until 8:00 p.m. this Friday, but he will not go: “It would be an unworthy humiliation to go on my own feet before such an unfair sentence. “Solidarity is still lacking to stop this serious attack on our freedoms,” he said.
‘‘Today at 8:00 p.m. the deadline for voluntarily entering prison ends. It would be an unworthy humiliation to go on my own feet before such an unjust sentence. They will have to come to kidnap me. Solidarity is still lacking to stop this serious attack on our freedoms.”
