The United Nations expresses its "deep concern about the allegations of arbitrary arrest, detention and extradition proceedings against Ambassador Saab".
Key Points:
- The United Nations expresses its "deep concern about the allegations of arbitrary arrest, detention and extradition proceedings against Ambassador Saab".
- The United Nations Human Rights (OHCHR) letter1 sent to the government of Cape Verde on July 19, 2021, was made public to a large group of independent experts.
- Early this morning, alarm was raised at the fate of Ambassador Alex Saab detained by the Cape Verdean authorities.
- I urge the Cape Verde authorities to release Alex Saab immediately and demand accountability.
