OPSIDIANET Newsletter is a periodic newsletter offering information on recent developments related to the rights of suspects and accused with psycho-social or intellectual disabilities. The third issue of the newsletter gives a general overview of the project, presents the newly published report ‘Vulnerable Offenders: The Rights of Suspects and Accused with Psychosocial and Intellectual Disabilities’, and provides references to other recent studies on the topic.
Opsidianet’s mission is to make sure people with intellectual and psychosocial disabilities exercise their rights within a criminal investigation.
