Demostrar que esta resolucion está totalmente equivocada en lo que paso realmente en cataluña en el 2017: ""Should politicians be prosecuted for statements made in the exercise of their mandate?
Resolution 2381 (2021)

Author(s):
Parliamentary Assembly
Origin
Assembly debate on 21 June 2021 (16th sitting) (see Doc. 15307, report of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights, rapporteur: Mr Boriss Cilevičs; and Doc. 15321, opinion of the Committee on Equality and Non-Discrimination, rapporteur: Mr Pere López). Text adopted by the Assembly on 21 June 2021 (16th sitting).

The Parliamentary Assembly stresses the crucial importance, in a living democracy, of politicians being able to freely exercise their mandates. This requires a particularly high level of protection of politicians’ freedom of speech and freedom of assembly, both in parliament and when speaking to their constituents in public meetings or through the media, including social media.
The European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5, “the Convention”) protects everyone’s freedom of speech, including the right to make statements that “shock or disturb” those who do not share the same opinions, as established in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”).
The Assembly also notes that freedom of speech is not unlimited and should be enforced while ensuring full respect for the rule of law. Hate speech condoning violence against certain people or groups of people on the grounds of race, origin, religion or political opinions, as well as calls for the violent overthrow of democratic institutions are not protected. Politicians have an even greater responsibility, due to their high visibility, to refrain from such abuses.
Everyone, politicians in particular, has the right to make proposals whose implementation would require changes to the constitution, provided the means advocated are peaceful and legal and the objectives do not run contrary to the fundamental principles of democracy and human rights.
This includes calls to change a centralist constitution into a federal or confederal one, or vice versa, or to change the legal status and powers of territorial (local and regional) entities, including to grant them a high degree of autonomy or even independence.
The Assembly considers that freedom of expression and freedom of assembly and association must be enforced without discrimination on any grounds, as stipulated by Article 14 of the Convention.
The Assembly recalls its Resolution 1900 (2012) “The definition of political prisoner”. It considers that politicians who are detained for making statements in the exercise of their political mandates that respect the limits of freedom of speech recalled above fall under this definition and should be released without delay.
Concerning more specifically Turkey, the Assembly recalls its Resolution 2156 (2017) and Resolution 2376 (2021) “The functioning of democratic institutions in Turkey” and notes that numerous politicians are incarcerated for statements they made in the exercise of their political mandates.
8.1 Some stand accused or have even been convicted and handed long prison terms on the basis of criminal provisions penalising links to and support for terrorist organisations for merely referring to the inhabitants of the south-eastern region of Turkey as “Kurds”, or to the region in question as the “Kurdish region”, or for advocating greater autonomy for this region, criticising the actions of the security forces in this region or even merely requesting information on these actions in the form of parliamentary questions.
8.2 Others have been prosecuted for insulting the president, or other representatives of the State, or for merely criticising, as opposition politicians, the policies pursued by the government in different fields, including the management of the economy and the fight against corruption.
8.3 These cases are particularly egregious as they have arisen after numerous findings by the Court of violations of freedom of speech in similar circumstances. In the case of Mr Selahattin Demirtaş, the president of one of the main opposition parties, the authorities are openly defying a judgment by the Court which ordered Mr Demirtaş’s immediate release. Also, the incriminating political statements often date back several years, to when the position of the government was more tolerant with regard to the Kurdish issue and the politicians in question could not predict that their statements would one day be considered as criminal. These prosecutions often take many years, during which the accused politicians are either in pre-trial detention, or otherwise prevented from exercising their political mandates.
8.4 While reiterating its unequivocal condemnation of terrorism on the part of the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), as much within as outside Turkey, in line with Recommendation 1266 (1995), Resolution 1754 (2010), Resolution 1925 (2013) and Resolution 2156 (2017), the Assembly notes that the unclear wording and overly broad interpretation of Turkish legislation concerning the fight against terrorism and the harsh penalties, including prison terms, handed down in practice by criminal courts for insult or defamation appear to violate the Convention as interpreted by the Court.
8.5 The Assembly condemns the removal and imprisonment of at least 47 democratically elected mayors from office (including the mayors of Diyarbakır, Van, Mardin and Kars), based on questionable evidence and their arbitrary replacement by unelected trustees appointed by the central government.
8.6 The Assembly notes that the independence of the Turkish courts has increasingly been put in doubt. Instances of public accusations made by senior officials that were soon followed by the arrest and prosecution of the individuals concerned confirm the perception of the judiciary’s lack of independence.
8.7 The Assembly recalls that the parliamentary immunity of 139 mainly opposition members of parliament was withdrawn in 2016 in a collective procedure that did not allow for individual members to defend themselves. To achieve this, the parliament even adopted an ad hoc temporary change of the constitution suspending the normal protections to the detriment of this group of parliamentarians.
8.8 The Assembly finally notes that politicians belonging to opposition parties, journalists and civil society activists were excluded de facto from extraordinary pardons and reductions of prison terms motivated by the need to reduce prison overcrowding in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
As regards more specifically Spain, the Assembly recognises that Spain is a living democracy, with a culture of free and open public debate, and that the mere expression of pro-independence views is not a ground for criminal prosecution. The Assembly fully respects the constitutional order of Spain. Nevertheless, several senior Catalan politicians were prosecuted and eventually sentenced to long prison terms for sedition and other crimes, inter alia for statements made in the exercise of their political mandates, in support of the unconstitutional referendum on the independence of Catalonia in October 2017 – organised by application of the “disconnection laws” approved by the Parliament of Catalonia in September 2017 and found to be unconstitutional by the Spanish Constitutional Court – and calling for participation in the mass protests surrounding this event.
9.1 Incriminatory statements included public speeches supporting the unconstitutional referendum in October 2017 on the independence of Catalonia and calling for participation in several demonstrations, as well as votes in the Catalan Parliament expressing the same support or allowing debates on this topic to be included in the agenda of the parliament. The Assembly notes that the referendum had previously been ruled unconstitutional by the Spanish Constitutional Court, which had also warned the politicians in question against organising it.
9.2 Some of the politicians in question were also found guilty of abusing public funds and other resources, in particular by allowing public buildings to be used as polling stations.
9.3 The Assembly notes that the crime of organising an illegal referendum, punishable by up to five years in prison, was abrogated by the Spanish legislature in 2005. In this reform of the Criminal Code, the crime of sedition, punishable by up to fifteen years in prison, which requires an element of violence (“tumultuous uprising”) remained unchanged. The organisers of the illegal referendum on 1 October 2017 were convicted of sedition.
9.4 It is undisputed that none of the politicians in question called for violence. On the contrary, it is recognised, also by the prosecution, that they called on demonstrators to refrain from any violent acts. Indeed, on several occasions, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated without any violent incidents, thanks also to the restraint exercised most of the time by the Catalan and Spanish security forces, who were also deployed in large numbers.
9.5 The Assembly warmly welcomes the fact that the criminal provisions on rebellion and sedition have become subject to intense debate in the political and legal spheres in Spain, in particular as regards the need to update and restrict the definition of the crime of sedition. These provisions were enacted in response to the frequent attempts at military takeover in the past. Doubts were therefore expressed as to their application to the organisers of peaceful demonstrations. This required novel interpretations such as the notion of “violence without violence” developed by the prosecution, according to which the sheer number of demonstrators exercised psychological coercion on the police officers facing them, and a very wide meaning given to the term of “tumultuous uprising” required for the crime of sedition.
9.6 The Assembly further notes that, even after the conviction of the leading Catalan politicians involved in the 2017 unconstitutional referendum, the Spanish judicial authorities also prosecuted the succeeding set of Catalan leaders and a number of lower-ranking Catalan officials involved in the events in 2017. The Spanish authorities also continue to pursue the extradition of Catalan politicians living in other European countries, despite several setbacks in Belgian, British and German courts. Finally, it notes a positive development in that several high-profile prosecutions, of the head of the Catalan police force and of members of the Catalan election commission, have recently ended in acquittals.
9.7 The Spanish authorities have reportedly made the application of the milder prison regime, usually applied to non-violent offenders, or the consideration of a pardon subject to the prisoners’ expressing regret for their actions and/or undertaking not to commit further crimes, as is the case for""
