Pablo or Pau Rivadulla Duró (born 9 August 1988),[1] known artistically as Pablo Hasél, is a Catalan rapper, writer, poet, and political activist.[2][3][4] His songs, often in support of far-left politics and terrorism, have frequently led him into troubles with the Spanish judiciary, whose actions have in turn been criticised as an attack on free speech, in Catalonia, Spain, and overseas.[5][6][7][8][9] Accused of insulting the Spanish monarchy, insulting the Spanish army and police forces, and praising terrorism and banned groups,[10] he has been imprisoned since 16 February 2021 on a nine-month sentence, leading to numerous protests and riots.[11][12][13]

Pablo or Pau Rivadulla Duró (sources vary for his first name, the Spanish and Catalan versions of Paul) was born in Lleida, Catalonia on 9 August 1988 to Ignacio Rivadulla and Paloma Duró.[15] Hasél's father, Ignacio, was a businessman and the president of UE Lleida football club[16] and his mother, Paloma, came from an upper-class family of lawyers.[15] Hasél took his artistic name from a revolutionary character in an Arabic short story.[17]

In October 2011, Hasél was arrested and bailed for a song titled "Democracia su Puta Madre" in which he praised "Camarada Arenas", a convicted member of the terrorist group GRAPO.[18] In April 2014, he was given a two-year prison sentence for ten songs in praise of GRAPO, ETA[5][19][20][21] the Red Army Faction and Terra Lliure.[12] This sentence was suspended for three years in September 2019, on condition that he not reoffend.[22] Hasél vehemently denies media reports that have listed Al-Qaeda among the groups he was charged with supporting.[23]

In May 2014, Hasél was arrested again for being part of a group that attacked another which it believed to be linked to the far-right Platform for Catalonia.[7]

In June 2016, Hasél pushed and sprayed washing-up liquid at a TV3 journalist. He received six months in prison and a fine of €12,150 in June 2020.[8] In the same month, he received a 21⁄2-year sentence and €2,500 fine for assault and obstruction of justice, namely for kicking and threatening a witness in the October 2017 trial of a policeman eventually acquitted of assaulting a minor, accusing him of providing false testimony.[9] This sentence was confirmed in 2021, days after his imprisonment.[24]

In a March 2018 interview, Hasél said he was unable to find work due to his criminal convictions that disqualified him from the public sector for ten years, and that his last work had been grape picking in France.[17]

In March 2018, Hasél was sentenced to two years in prison for praising GRAPO terrorism and insulting King Juan Carlos I on Twitter.[11] In early 2021, he was ordered to voluntarily enter prison to serve a nine-month sentence for this conviction. He publicly refused this order,[25] and was eventually arrested on 16 February after barricading himself in the University of Lleida.[26] Hasél's freedom was supported by Amnesty International and a letter signed by 300 Spanish artists including Pedro Almodóvar and Javier Bardem,[27] as well as by President of Mexico Andrés Manuel López Obrador.[28] Hasél's imprisonment led to nights of protests involving thousands of people in cities including Valencia, Madrid and Barcelona.[29] Hasél's case has been likened to that of Valtònyc, another left-wing pro-Catalan rapper who fled to Belgium after a conviction.[27] The Chair of PEN International's Writers in Prison Committee, Salil Tripathi, warned that ″Democracies don't jail poets, even if the words they express are disturbing or uncomfortable″.[30]
