Amnesty International will monitor the trial against Catalan pro-independence leaders

Amnesty International (AI) and its director in Europe, Fotis Filippou, have sent a support and solidarity letter to Catalan civil society leaders Jordi Cuixart (president of Òmnium Cultural) and Jordi Sànchez (former president of the Catalan National Assembly), who have been in preventive prison for more than a year now.
Amnesty announces that they will “monitor” the oral hearings in the trial starting next year, to “assess whether fair trial guarantees are fullfilled”.
