Geneva, Sep 14 (EFE), (Camera: Antonio Broto).- The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, revealed Monday that the human rights crisis continues in Nicaragua and that it now also affects the government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In a presentation on the situation in Nicaragua at the inaugural session of the Human Rights Council, Bachelet said that the health crisis requires more transparency and dissemination of information by the government, which has so far responded with violations of freedom of expression and the dismissal of medical personnel.FOOTAGE OF THE INAUGURAL SESSION.
In Geneva, a special session of the UN Human Rights Council opens to discuss the situation in Sudan.

United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk condemns "this wanton violence, in which both sides have trampled international humanitarian law, notably the principles of distinction, proportionality and precaution".
