The new Spanish Governments representative in catalonia acknowledges that there was a problem youre going to hear of the killing though the law not bundle like but youll go with us you will be saying youll say so the loudest poster for it like you will but she defends the trial itself theyre going to stop by and this by now at least another part of the weatherly the has to go there are certain leave it but up a little harder but at the last of the. Form a Supreme Court judge martine piolin has a very different view. They were. Really abolished so. Many men look at possible elaynes here. Or there. Or see that other corner of the sort of the next holy cause or. At the rally here or there or move. Very thought that i may be on. On the 11th of february 29th in the eve of the trial we travelled with noel. To madrid won a bleak jail outside the spanish capital. All that was meeting her client. The 64 year old speaker of the cut a lady in parliament who it found guilty faces as many as 17 years in jail. Ogier emerged from a final briefing with a client. Do you have a talk to her about. The possibility of having known sentence and using her freedom we say we still dont talk about that we go step by step im aware people im aware that every if you have eyes we want to see it right its the last all right were on a case where we keep. The next morning the media gathered outside spain supremum court. Its february the 12th and the 1st day of the historic battle out in trial here at madrid superfine court its a trial that will in the next few months but spains judicial system under the spotlight. Inside the poor judicial protocols and traditions with caffie observed. But outside the atmosphere was very different. Right spanish nationalists including frank you support is carrying phalange bonnet as opposed to peace it happened on Independence Support is standing side in peace facing. The house one irony that on the streets at least both sides agreed this trial was all about politics. And that was not the only thing on the mining official attempts to portray this trial as free as can be tickled takes. West out of west as you know that but i spread out that. These manna from folks spains new rapidly growing far right populist party. Under non fusion will provision in the spanish rule which in laos. Citizens and organizations to act as peoples prosecutors in some trials walks an hour fishley to prosecutors of the cattle on 12 along with the state solicitor and the attorney general its political from the very beginning you know we have a case thats based on. The you know the criminalization of an ideology and then we have a brush a gear which is a Political Party so everything is political here. The very next day inside the Spanish Parliament another political crisis was brewing. To cos its budget the government needed the support of the cattle are. They to get it the cattle on posties sided with the opposition and the government felt. A general election was set for april and with it came yet another blow to the cool its attempts to rise above them in little fray. From their prison cells outside madrid several of the defendants announced they will be standing in the election. And whats revealed that saying to would both members of the Prosecution Team says now these political rivals would face each other across the cost stage of the supremes course. I is now 6 weeks until the spanish general but that and tens of thousands of protesters supporting culture that independence of must here in the brit i. I one of the organizations behind the march was the assembly. A pro independent Civil Society organization. With 2 of its former president s on trial he spoke to its current president they are accusing Party Leaders legit teammates and democratic elected elected leaders of provoking the violence that in fact it was the spanish parties that did the violence during the referendum on the 1st of october. For these catalogs the accusation of foil and spy vote is flies in the face of the evidence its a charge they believe was trumped up to justify jailing them meetings. Placing the way people are going to be afraid to continue asking for the referendum on 14 the bands get along. So it was the physical repression of the referendum and the arrest of their leader is really just an attempt to intimidate the cattle on Independence Movement into silence. The party pooper less Jose Hernandez does little to dispel that idea i think that those independent exacting to face reality well that is going to be put into prison when i go there i dont know item it but they are going to face reality and perhaps they will have to think it over but the thing applies for the for and different generation because i think that was the end of the whole independence process. But around catalonia we found little sign of the Independence Campaign losing momentum. In exiled president colors proved him on the sleepy home town of. His portrait still dominates the square. Even the grand president ial palace in wasilla displayed a banner supporting the prisoners and exiles or it did until spains and the True Authority ordered the removal of well such politically contentious panels from public buildings during the election. The catalans replaced it with a quote from the when picked up ration of human rights. Now ever when the jailed electoral candidate catalan Vice President or elderly parents was permitted a televised press conference from prison but the spanish authorities placed the page and spanish nationalist symbols of the spanish flag and a portrait of the king in the background. The 28th of april 29th teen election day. Inside the socialist party is madrid headquarters there was a mood of optimism. What an air of gloom hung over the party popularize as the votes came in. But across town at a rally organized by for. All right populist walks the movement was triumphant. Table smith that chris matic expression forces secretary general of fox hes also one of the cattle on trial prosecutors appeared to rapturous accruals. That night knox went from having new parliamentary seats to 24. Losing a qaeda and follow trial prosecutor federal fernandes brand that to. Us by the end of the night it was clear the socialist party of Petra Sanchez had won enough seats to create a coalition called. The next morning in barcelona the cut on an Independence Movement was celebrating the annexation of its prison a candidates to both senate and congress favor sanchez should listen. To the results in catalonia he should open a dialogue table and he should respect the will of the majority of the catalan people that call for dialogue was repeated at a press conference by the cotton on Independence Party the seat that i know that the analysis of the famous is about the end of it is that one of them has a bit of center on the surface of the water that will go into that i was there at the end there is that if there isnt other that at the moment. But a problem for sanchez even if he wants to reopen the dialogue is whats happening in this building because what you have the way this trial games the result could only be in further deficient in this country. Some suggest an official pardon might be the way out but that would infuriate the spanish nationalist and boost the fortunes of the populace right. Equally a guilty verdict a known jail sentences wouldnt be vampire. Anger in touch in india and some of the fuel teams for independence but ok we feel theres they let me know your fate or our feel we feel. Suzanne about it as husband sanchez is facing up to 17 years in jail for hundreds of political conky separated from the personal.

The responsibility for the murder of saudi journalist is clear and an International Investigation is needed thats the conclusion of a lengthy inquiry by un special rapporteur agnes cullum are her report describes death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october as an extra judicial killing for what saudi arabia is responsible she calls for further investigation into the individual responsibility of saudi officials at the highest levels including crown prince mohammad that. The report also details taped conversations about body disposal in the moments before arrival at the consulate she says the killing is an International Crime with universal jurisdiction shes urging a criminal inquiry by the United Nations earlier my colleague holly about you both spoke exclusively to our. The state of saudi arabia is 1st and foremost responsible for for the murder i think its important to and cyst that the executor of mr casually waltz a killing by is a state we have focused extensively on the identity of various individuals that 12 involve in the commission of the crime but 1st and foremost we must insist in putting the responsibility of the killing tools the state of saudi arabia it must bear responsibility for that killing and we must take action as a state to repay all the killing what did you learn in these recordings about the way jamal has showed g. s body was disposed of because his remains have still not been found the recordings needs to be interpreted they do not tell a very straightforward story. Why towards dawn to use body i cannot deduct probably the sounds i have a hope that i can infer from the sound that something was done based on the technique or. Knowledge of the various people i have consulted it is well possible that mr cashel greenwalds 1st put that he was 1st injected with something and then that he was actually asphyxiated weezer plastic bag this is the possibility the nature and the extent of the dismemberment of these bodies i cannot comment upon its not possible allow me to add one thing when at least this was a recording is concerned that i have heard when mr cashel loses consciousness there is no evidence of the people that are there in the room attempting to take care of him attempting to rescue city came the 10. To do something that to me points to the fact that the notion that there is an accident that the next didnt happen that doesnt quite match what i have heard there is nor tent to to do something and there is no scream so or. Any expression of of fear over whats happening youll be presenting this column are this report i understand on june 26th to the Un Human Rights Council which saudi arabia is a member of what do you think is going to happen what do you hope will happen now that youve released this report you know my report makes a friend of recommendations including to saudi arabia as a special rapporteur i am committed to establishing constructive relationship preserve the governments that i work with i have attempted to work with saudi arabia for the last 6 months they have not shown any interest in doing so or my reporting producer rancher every comment issues including with regard to the ongoing trial including with regard to said there. Should take to demonstrate not a repetition which is a from them and told to mention of their responsibilities given that they have established that the responsibility of the state is involved so to arabia as minister of state for Foreign Affairs has rejected the reports higher than that was full of baseless allegations unclear contradictions he says only the kingdom has the authority to look into the case and that riyadh retains the right to take legal action in response to the findings are some about a has more from istanbul on saudi arabias response. Saudi reaction to the final report issued by the United Nations special rapporteur. Was expected the government does not seem to be pleased with the chilling details that were presented in the report and also about the fact that implicates saudi officials of the highest level in the murder of. The other hand the turkish government seems to be pleased Turkish Foreign minister. Said that he fully endorse the content of the report and the need for the perpetrators to be prosecuted as soon as possible turkey seems to be now waiting to see what kind of next step that the saudi government will take if the saudis are willing to for further cooperation with the turkish government that could be a new chapter of the saudis decide not to cooperate i think the turkish government is going to press ahead for the need for an International Criminal investigation to start as soon as possible turkeys president roger tabor to saudi arabia will pay a price for murder. In the report the u. N. Says saudis are definitely guilty and they definitely had knowledge about this matter the other see this how the stance in turkey was wrong pay the price for this they will be held accountable. There are. Spoken to aljazeera she says the world has been left in the dark about saudi arabias investigation. When it comes to the comments from ship year and other saudi officials that the u. N. Report did not come with anything new i would like to ask them why they didnt put the perpetrators on public trial and why you didnt hold them accountable why cant the saudis be more open and provide us with details of the investigation and the socalled trial that is happening behind closed doors but i would like to thank ms kalamata and her team for this report at this very critical time there are 2 key points that i would like to mention here that those who carried out the attacks and carried out the murder come from higher authorities in saudi arabia she mentioned their names she posted their pictures and she stressed that they must be brought to justice and also that it is time to put them on trial and i urge the International Community to support her report and to push for the launch of an International Investigation i believe that justice will take place with or it is today all nighter in the future what happens right now based on the u. N. Report let me say it now im trying not to be emotional about it but im doing all i can in order to help bring justice to this case killed jamal but all of us here are defending his right and everything he believed in and we will continue to respect and honor his legacy this is why i hope that this case will be brought to the International Level no one in the world can just ignore this case and put it aside lets break through and join your world his. An executive board member of the International Press institute and c. E. O. Of the year wood media group is joining us live from Miami Florida thanks very much for speaking to us on the aljazeera news hour im sure that youve read the report or gone through the report at least put out there by by i guess kind of mar what does she clarify in this report that perhaps we only thought we knew before well 1st of all thanks for having me on i think that the report is a very important 1st step there are tremendous amount theres a tremendous amount of detail in the report in fact its quite chilling if you were to read the report into to see the details that that were revealed about what happened at the consulate in istanbul but i think whats important though is that the report is an important 1st step now i think its up to the Human Rights Council its up to disappear to council and indeed its up to the Security Sector general himself to not move the ball and have a proper criminal investigation and then move the whole the the various individuals in saudi arabia responsible really actually how likely is about to be very good of the reference herself cold for the secretary general to how to hold a criminal investigation hes already insinuating that hes not sure if he can do that so is this likely to go ahead. Well thats where its important for pressure coming to bear on the u. N. From. Organizations like the International Press institute and others around the world who care deeply about press freedom and have been following this case very very closely as saudi arabia must not get should that be allowed to get away with what was a blatant attack on press freedom and an execution of a journalist who was only trying to do his job what about the pressure on the United States because all eyes now could be on the Trump Administration its no secret really that the u. S. Has prioritized security and economic interests in relations with saudi arabia do you expect anything substantial to come out of the at the white house and what can organizations like yours do to press or the u. S. Well i think youre right i dont expect a tremendous amount coming in the short term from the white house youre right and back to the white house is looking more at security concerns but i think that there is an opportunity for members of congress to weigh in and they can then pressure the white house to act in this case because if the white house does that do anything the saudis would think that what they did was was normal and what they think what they did was justifiable
