Keep digging that hole. The "law of the jungle" - coined by Rudyard Kipling, the model British orientalist! The guy who also gave us the "white man's burden"!!!

More throwbacks to 19th century colonialism, from the EU's top diplomat, in the 21st century! How is this reassuring?!

The #SakharovPrize will soon be awarded, and for once we have a chance to do something meaningful with it.

Recognising Julian #Assange with this prize could make a real difference, and land a genuine victory for freedom of thought.

RT @Left_EU: A historic vote in the European Parliament not to grant budget discharge to Frontex is a victory for human rights.

We can’t be accomplices in using taxpayers’ money to finance violence and death.

RT @Left_EU: BREAKING ⛔️ Frontex budget discharge has been refused by the European Parliament.

MEPs refuse to endorse the use of public money for fundamental rights abuses, illegal pushbacks, & horrific violence at EU borders.

#HumanRights matter. #AbolishFrontex

Free movement should be for everyone. But the EU has developed a sordid habit of using it as a reward for horrific border violence.

EU encouragement of #Croatia's grotesque crimes against migrants has set a terrible example for #Bulgaria and #Romania's accession to #Schengen.

#Haiti was a beacon of light to the world, a challenge to the dread logic of capital & empire.

For this it was punished with foreign interference: coups, invasions, occupations, assassinations.

To help Haitians, stop meddling & stand up to the world's bully, the #UnitedStates.

RT @Left_EU: The OLAF report is clear: the agency has been complicit in human rights violations.
The @europarl_en will vote next Tuesday on the discharge of the 2020 budget for Frontex. Left MEPs will vote to not grant discharge.

Frontex impunity must end.

The situation in #Tigray is a human catastrophe & as usual, it is the ordinary people who bear the brunt of military engagement. The entirety of the population of #Ethiopia is now affected. A peace agreement, ceasefire & restoration of living conditions could not be more urgent.

Honoured to join this event earlier with @sexworkeurope, @ILGAEurope, @otrassindicato @JulieCapoulade, Belgian minister @vincentvq & MEPs from the other political groups, @SophieintVeld, @engerer and @MonikaVana.

Overjoyed to see Julian #Assange go forward to the shortlist for the European Parliament's #SakharovPrize.

#Assange made an immense contribution to the defence of human rights & the cause of peace, & he's suffering a bitter persecution for it.

The prize should be given to him.

Julian #Assange upheld the central responsibility of a journalist.

He published without fear or favour, and aimed to hold power to account.

It is for that and nothing else that he is now being persecuted.

It is right that he is a candidate for the #Sakharov Prize.

Fair play to @SabriPignedoli and staff for making this important event happen. Great to have @StellaMoris1 address MEPs, and to see cross-group support for Assange's nomination for the #SakharovPrize. We must redouble our efforts to secure Assange's freedom.

Bad reporting over recent months has created a totally false impression of how we vote.

Example: here's a selection of things I've specifically voted in favour of in the past few months.

If these surprise you, it may be worth wondering what else you're being misinformed about.

In 2019, the government published its Traveller Accommodation Expert Review. It produced 32 recommendations. As of June, only 6 were implemented.

Resolutions are very well, but little changes for six million Roma and Travellers facing discrimination, repression and exclusion.

It would be remiss to have a debate on religious freedoms without speaking about the discrimination suffered by Muslims in the EU.

We must defend the right of every person to practice their faith, whatever that may be.

Many citizens urged support of the ban on products associated with deforestation, and they were correct. As the third largest importer of these commodities, the EU has a responsibility not to be driving industrial scale deforestation across the planet.

Privacy International identified Ireland as a significant hub for the cyber-arms industry.

We should not treat spyware and hacking technology as just any old business and then act shocked when it is inevitably abused.

The Pegasus scandals are appalling.

Health is a fundamental right. It should be immune from the laws of the market.

When we talk about cross-border threats to health, remember it was neoliberal ideology that left our health services so drastically unable to cope when the COVID pandemic arrived.
