Worried about attacks on journalists & reported disproportionate use of force by police on demonstrators in Catalonia. Everyone should play their part in de-escalating tensions. Spanish authorities should protect #freedomofexpression & #freedomofassembly coe.int/en/web/commiss

The response I see today threatens to upend the entire system of protection that Europe has painstakingly built up over many decades. It is not yet too late to reverse the current course of action and preserve dignity and humanity.

Over the years, refugees, asylum seekers and migrants have been used as pawns to achieve the domestic or geopolitical goals of all the states involved. This is antithetical to the idea of #humanrights and to the values that unite us. twitter.com/CommissionerHR…
