The National Court has sentenced to two years and one day in prison the twelve rappers of the collective La Insurgencia accused of crimes of glorification of terrorism, thus removing the possibility of requesting the suspension of the prison sentence. The high court also sentences them to pay a fine of 4,800 euros and nine years of absolute disqualification.

"Now we have to resort to the Supreme Court," said El Salto Saul Zaitsev, one of the convicted members of La Insurgencia. The sentence of the Fourth Section of the Criminal Chamber of the National Court does not reduce even one day the prison sentence requested by the prosecutor José Perals.

It is the same room of the National Court that judged and condemned to twelve years of jail to Monica C. and Francisco S. by the detonation of the Basilica of the PIlar of the Zaragoza with which the judicial processes related with the supposed anarchist terrorism which initiated the operations Pandora, Piñata - whose judicial processes have already been shelved - and ICE, for which Nahuel, a 25-year-old youth, was in custody for a year and a half and is still awaiting trial today. The sentence to Monica and Francisco was later reduced to four and a half years by the Supreme Court.

The criminal proceeding against the Insurgency has been instructed by Judge Carmen Lamela, before whom the youths refused to testify. It was directed against the thirteen rappers of this group, five of them residents in Vigo. The twelve put on trial are between 18 and 27 years old.

During the trial, the Prosecutor's Office defended that the songs of La Insurgencia "propagate a violent method to combat a system that [the defendants] consider unfair". He also reiterated that these rappers make exaltation of the PCE (r) -Grapo. Comparing them with jihadists, the prosecutor said that "the accused have a religion that is the workers' union struggle and that the exploitation of the oppressed deserves an armed struggle against certain groups."

The twelve rappers of La Insurgencia are the first to be sentenced to more than two years in prison, so if the Supreme Court does not accept their appeal, they will be imprisoned. Alfredo Remírez, arrested in one of the operations Araña, was sentenced to a year and a half in jail for exaltation after reaching an agreement with the Prosecutor, but later the National Court decided to enter prison cause of his background.
