CATALONIA
Comment by UN Human Rights Chief #Zeid on the situation in Catalonia, Spain.
I am very disturbed by the violence in Catalonia on Sunday. With
hundreds of people reported injured, I urge the Spanish authorities to
ensure thorough, independent and impartial investigations into all acts
of violence. Police responses must at all times be proportionate and
necessary.
I firmly believe that the current situation should be
resolved through political dialogue, with full respect for democratic
freedoms.
