Two woman sit on a chair in front of burning barricades made by demonstrators during a protest condemning the arrest of rap singer Pablo Hasél in Barcelona, Spain, Friday, Feb. 19, 2021. Violent street protests over the imprisonment of a rapper have erupted for a fourth straight night in Spain. Police in the northeastern region of Catalonia said some protesters pelted officers with bottles, stones, fireworks and paint on Friday.
Small groups made up mostly of young people began their nightly cat-and-mouse game with officers an hour after several thousand protesters gathered in the capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, which also was where the worst violence took place during earlier demonstrations this week over rapper Pablo Hasél’s detention.
The disorder appears have come a fringe group of mainly younger people who constituted a small share of the thousands of participants who joined in marches to support Hasél and to oppose the Spanish laws used to prosecute him.

Photo looks like a “peaceful protest” in the U.S. 😺
Can’t think of a better place for a rapper to be.
'fringe group?' Next you'll be saying this is a conspiracy theory? You're owned by corporations/billionaires/oligarchs? You should not cover Barcelona; you're only a puppet of the US gov't.
'rapper' is not the central characteristic 'communist' is. no free speech for communists, and corporate media will just leave out that part
Their police sound crazy too, going at smashing windows.
What is it with news outlets calling violent uprisings peaceful all the time?
There's a difference between peaceful protests and protests that involve violence and destruction. The latter is not a protest but an excuse for thuggery.
So like the US, Spanish version of peaceful protest.
