		</div><p>Protests have turned violent again in Barcelona as supporters of a Spanish rap artist imprisoned for glorifying domestic terrorist groups and insulting Spain’s monarch returned to the streets.</p>
<p>Several thousand people marched peacefully in the city before small packs spun off and smashed the windows of at least two bank offices and did other property damage.</p>
<p>Police made at least 10 arrests, including of two people suspected of trying to set fire to a police van.</p>
<p>There were also protests in other towns in Spain’s Catalonia region, where rapper Pablo Hasel was arrested on February 16 and taken into custody to serve a nine-month prison sentence.</p>
<p>Hasel is in prison for inciting terrorism — he has praised two now-defunct armed groups responsible for killing more than 1,000 people in Spain – and for refusing to pay a fine for insulting Spain’s former king.</p>
<p>Protests immediately erupted in cities across Spain following his arrest, but they continued for over a week in Barcelona and other parts of Catalonia. More than 100 people were arrested during that period.</p>
<p>The flare-up of violence on Saturday came after a few nights of tense calm.</p>
<p>Spain’s government has pledged to eliminate prison terms for offences involving freedom of speech, but so far that has done little to quell the unrest.</p>
