Madrid, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 24th May, 2018 ) :A Spanish court issued national, international and EU arrest warrants Thursday against a rapper who may have fled the country just as he was due to enter prison in a case that has sparked free speech concerns.

The warrants were issued by the Madrid-based National Court, which last year sentenced the 24-year-old rapper Miguel Arenas Beltran -- better known as Valtonyc -- to three-and-a-half years in jail for glorifying terror, insulting the king and issuing threats in his song lyrics.
