Witness exclusion at Catalan trial is 'matter of concern' | The National
CATALONIA
'Henderson said the exclusion of the special rapporteurs was
particularly serious given the charges – sedition and rebellion – the
accused are facing: “When we’re dealing with aspects of minority rights,
human rights defenders and issues around freedom of expression and
opinion and belief, there’s a very strong argument that the UN special
rapporteurs, some of whom have produced reports under the UN human
rights system under their special procedures mandates, should be
participating as witnesses called by the defence in that trial.'
