RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Today, I learned the terrible news. Our colleague, journalist Victoria Roshchyna, died in Russian captivity.

I have a question. What did they do with her? What could have been done to a young girl to make her die? I call on all journalistic organizations from different countries to officially demand an answer from Russia.

Vika, you were so brave. I'm so sorry we didn't free you on time…

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Two massive Israeli air strikes on #Beirut’s Ras Al Nabaa/Noweiri neighbourhood just now. This is the very centre of the city, far from the southern suburbs and the farthest east #Israel has hit so far. People running in the streets screaming; not an area anyone expected to come under fire.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Another line has been dangerously crossed in Lebanon: IDF shelling of @UN peacekeepers whose positions are known.

We condemn this inadmissible act, for which there is no justification.

The EU reiterates its full support to @UNIFIL_ , to its UNSC-mandated mission & its troops.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: Mercenary spyware is a scourge.

As it proliferates it will help more autocrats stay in power & erode freedoms in democracies.

Glad to see this @UNHumanRights side event with @MediaFreedomC >@StateDRL & @USAmbHRC making space for victims' voices.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: The extent to which democratic politicians of all political stripes have abdicated their responsibility to govern the digital realm more comprehensively is mind-boggling, writes @stanfordcyber’s @MarietjeSchaake in a new PS Say More. https://bit.ly/4h0Pnsr

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: “Democracies need a clear vision of how to comprehensively govern tech.” @MarietjeSchaake urges leaders to rebuild their own technological knowledge—and to develop ways to hold tech companies to account.

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: In October 2023, the IDF tweeted grainy videos of 17 airstrikes in Gaza with generalised captions about targeting Hamas. @airwars and @SkyNews found that more than 440 civilians were killed in those strikes alone. Almost half were children. https://idf-tweets-gaza.airwars.org/

RT by @MarietjeSchaake: A year into Gaza war... high time for statements like these. Thank you @TreyYingst
A number of journalists have been killed in Lebanon as well, they need protection too.
