Appalled by Iranian authorities decision to detain Jafar Panahi.
Enforcement of jail-term suspended sentence since 2010 is shocking.
I urge authorities to release Sakharov Prize laureate #Panahi immediately.
He should be free to continue his fight for human rights.

Nelson Mandela was a true hero.
The first laureate of @europarl_en Sakharov Prize stood up for freedom. He fought against racism, injustice & discrimination. For him, giving up was not an option.
Values which continue to inspire us today.

Today’s historic vote in @SobranieRSM is a great and important step forward.
It will lead to the opening of accession talks between #NorthMacedonia and EU Member States. And to a faster EU future for 🇲🇰.
🇲🇰 belongs in the 🇪🇺.
#WesternBalkans belong in the EU.

War in 🇺🇦 forced 4.3million children to leave their home. Across the world, 200 million children live in war zones.
No child should be put in this situation.
My message at the 2nd @gchumanrights Conference: @europarl_en will continue fighting for children's rights, against war.

Now is not the time to backtrack on our climate goals.
We must deliver on energy & green transitions.
@europarl_en is ambitious but realistic.
No more Russian energy.
No more energy islands.
