Vulnerable persons and, if necessary, their legal representative or an appropriate adult should be informed of the specific procedural rights referred to in this Recommendation, in particular those relating to the right to information, the right to medical assistance, the right to a lawyer, the respect of privacy and, where appropriate, the rights related to pre-trial detention.

25. At the early stages of the proceedings, suspects or accused persons are particularly vulnerable and access to a lawyer is of paramount importance to protect the fair trial rights, inter alia the right to not incriminate oneself.[9] Article 6 of the ECHR requires that, as a rule, a suspect should be granted access to legal assistance from the moment he is taken into police custody or pre-trial detention, and that such assistance should be assigned officially if need be.[10]

I urge the Commissioner to ask the authorities to take up the offer of assistance by the UK to interview witnesses and examine pre- and post-trial evidence that was rejected in his appeal.
