The family of former auto executive Carlos Ghosn will seek assistance from a United Nations human rights group to secure his release from jail.
His detention in Japan has involved violations of UN norms, including dehumanizing conditions, no access to family and frequent interrogations without an attorney present, lawyers representing Ghosn’s wife Carole and his four children said at a press conference in Paris Monday. The family is appealing to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention for help.
