A woman has lost an eye amid protests in Spain over the arrest of rap artist Pablo Hasel – demonstrations that have seen police fire rubber bullets and baton-charge demonstrators, according to reports. The woman was reportedly hit by a police rubber bullet during a rally on Tuesday in Barcelona, the AP news agency reported on Thursday, citing officials. Spanish newspaper El Pais quoted human rights group Iridia as saying the injury was caused by a foam-tipped projectile – the kind used by police in the city and wider Catalonia region, where Hasel was arrested on Tuesday.More Related News
