Pablo Hasél

Pablo was arrested on February 9, 2021 and convicted by the Spanish court for song lyrics and tweets in which he was supposedly supporting terrorism, along with insulting the Crown and state institutions. Many of the tweets were actually about police violence and a lack of accountability in that area. For example, he wrote that Joseba Arregi, a former commander of ETA, had been murdered by the police agents who tortured him. This is an historic fact, but him pointing it out was part of the evidence they used to claim he supported terrorism.

Kyree Robertson

26 year old Kyree Robertson was sentenced in July 2021 to 23 months for riot charges from May 2020 in Grand Rapids. Kyree was held without bond and received a significantly different sentence than others convicted of riot charges, with his family commenting to media at the time of his sentencing that they had expected him to be sentenced to time served and to come home in July. Kyree would appreciate letters and messages of support.
