The Committee for the Freedom of Political Prisoners (Clippve) has requested a meeting with the government and opposition delegations in the US-sponsored negotiation process to address the situation of political prisoners, which they say is not on the agenda.

Clippve sent a public letter requesting a meeting with both delegations in the negotiation process.

The negotiation, sponsored by the Trump administration, concluded its first cycle on August 12 with agreements on justice system transformation and recovering 31 tons of gold from the Bank of England.

The agenda includes three topics: attention to the 'double earthquake', strengthening democracy (including renewal of TSJ and CNE), and political rights and guarantees.

Clippve estimates at least 400 cases of arbitrary political detention, with 37 requiring sustained medical care.
