Nobel peace winners urge mediation in Spain
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA group of Nobel Peace Prize winners are calling for mediation in the political deadlock between Spain and Catalonia.
The comments come in a letter on the eve of a Catalan parliamentary meeting in which separatist leaders want to press ahead with secession for the northeastern region.
Nobel Peace laureate Jody Williams tells The Associated Press the letter has so far been signed by seven more awardees, including Mairead Maguire, Rigoberta Menchu and Shirin Ebadi.
The letter says “no side is free of errors” in this process, but calls for “mediation and negotiations toward a peaceful resolution of the current standoff.”
Williams says the letter would be posted later today on the Nobel Women’s Initiative website.
