such as\u00a0Amnesty International or ELEN have denounced today at the United Nations that Spain is failing to comply with human rights when keeping in prison Jordi Cuixart, president of \u00d2mnium Cultural, and Jordi S\u00e0nchez, former president of the Catalan National Assembly.\u00a0<\/strong>They have made these claims in the framework of the Universal Periodic Review to Spain, an assessment on human rights compliance that all UN member states have to undergo.<\/p>\n<p>Today was the final step of the process when Spain had to present its responses to member states\u2019 recommendations, which were made earlier this year.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.omnium.cat\/en\/un-member-states-urge-spain-to-ensure-freedom-of-expression\/\"> Back on the 22nd January,\u00a0member states such as Germany, Italy, Switzerland, or Belgium urged Spain to take the necessary steps to ensure freedom of expression and the right to peacefully protest.\u00a0<\/a>Today, Spain\u2019s Permanent Representative to the UN, Crist\u00f3bal Gonz\u00e1lez-Aller Jurado, thanked the recommendations but failed to recognise any violation of human rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After his speech, there was question time for NGOs in which\u00a0Amnesty International reprimanded Spain for keeping in prison Jordi Cuixart and Jordi S\u00e0nchez, sentenced to 9 years for having promoted a peaceful demonstration in relation to the Catalan referendum in 2017.<\/strong>\u00a0\u201cWe urge the [Spanish] authorities to reform the crime of sedition, application, and interpretation of which by the Spanish Supreme Court, means the restriction of freedom of expression of Jordi S\u00e0nchez and Jordi Cuixart, who are still unjustly in prison\u201d, said Ignacio Jovtis, spokesperson for Amnesty Spain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other NGOs like ELEN (European Language Equality Network), the Society for Threatened Peoples, Americans for Democracy and Human Rights in Bahrain and Iraqi Development Organisation also brought up the issues of the unsolved repression of the Catalan self-determination movement and the police brutality in Spain.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Several human rights NGOs such as\u00a0Amnesty International or ELEN have denounced today at the United Nations that Spain is
