The tweets and songs for which rapper Hasel was imprisoned

Riot police stormed a university in the western Catalan city of Lleida on Tuesday morning to arrest the rapper Pablo Rivadulla, known as Pablo Hasel, who barricaded himself inside the building and called for "solidarity" to resist his imprisonment. 

Hasel was taken to prison following a 9-month sentence for "glorification of terrorism" and "insulting the Spanish crown and its security forces" in a series of 64 tweets shared from 2014 to 2016 and a song published on Youtube.

Judges at the National Court dismissed the rapper’s petition to avoid entering prison, citing Hasel’s previous criminal record, including a two-year sentence for songs "glorifying" terror groups ETA, GRAPO and Al Qaeda. The sentence was provisionally suspended, but it was reactivated after Hasel was convicted again.

Here are some of the tweets cited by National Court judges, as reported by Spanish media:
