		</div><p>A 24-hour standoff between police and a Spanish rapper barricaded with dozens of his supporters in a university ended with anti-riot officers arresting the artist.</p>
<p>Pablo Hasel was escorted by riot police out of Lleida University’s rectorate building, in the northeastern Catalonia region, where he and over 50 supporters had locked themselves in since mid-Monday.</p>
<p>It was the rapper’s latest effort to resist imprisonment and draw attention to what he portrays as a campaign for free speech.</p>
<p>The rapper has been sentenced to nine months in prison for insulting the monarchy and praising terrorism.</p>
<p>“We will win, they will not bend us with all their repression, never!” the 32-year-old rapper said as he passed TV news cameras.</p>
<p>The case of Hasel, whose real name is Pablo Rivadulla Duro, has drawn increasing attention in Spain and has been linked to the government’s sudden announcement that it is changing a national law that is deemed to curtail freedom of expression.</p>
<p>Over 200 artists, including film director Pedro Almodovar and actor Javier Bardem, signed a petition last week in support of the rapper.</p>
<p>Spain’s left-wing coalition government unexpectedly announced last week that it would make changes to the country’s criminal code to eliminate prison terms for offences involving freedom of expression.</p>
<p>It did not specifically mention Hasel or set a timetable for the changes.</p>
