Today in Geneva, the #WGAD of the @UN publicly presents publicly its annual report which expresses the inaction of Spain a year after the request for the immediate release of political prisoners Catalan #UN4Freedom
We recall that the @UN #WGAD confirmed that the imprisonment of catalan political prisoners was arbitrary and called for their immediate release. According to the annual report, Spain is the only @EUCouncil country with detainees in arbitrary detention #UN4Freedom
In the past, the @UN questioned the arbitrary imprisonment in France and Poland. Neither state dared to question the UN, and they were released implementing the WGAD opinion. Spain, on the contrary, has asked the WGAD to change its position on the Catalan political prisoners
This year, only 6 of the 42 states that have had any detention qualified as arbitrary have asked the Working Group for a change of opinion: Saudi Arabia, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Colombia and Spain. All of them were rejected.
The Spanish state is one of the signatories of the International Covenants and, therefore, is committed to complying with the decisions of @UNHumanRights working groups. Its failure to respect the opinion of the @UN #WGAD is an international democratic shame!
