RT @fbermingham: Clock is ticking - UN human rights chief Bachelet has promised to release report on human rights in Xinjiang before the end of the month, when she leaves her post.
Asked for more info, her office still refers to her previous statement saying the report will be released by then
Two years ago, the people of #Belarus bravely stood up to the brutal & illegitimate regime of #Lukashenka.
We must & we will continue to work tirelessly to support the Belarusian people in their desire to live in a free, democratic, sovereign & prosperous Belarus! #ZyvieBelarus
The CCP once again proves that it is not a partner for the Free World, but a security threat.
We stand by our Taiwanese partners, and condemn the destructive behaviour of the CCP

As we mark 14th anniversary since Russian aggression against Georgia, our support for Georgian sovereignty and territorial integrity, as well as freedom and democracy in Georgia, remains steadfast
I am abhorred by the detention of Mikalai Kazlou and United Civic Party activists by Lukashenka’s regime.
All detained must be immediately released! @EPP @EPPGroup
In the @europarl_en we are closely following the case of Nika Gvaramia. His continued imprisonment and postponement of his appeal process is unacceptable.
RT @TonoEPP: Happy to see that the Foreign Affairs Council answered today the call of more than 158 MEPs who called for the reconvening of the EU-Israel Association Council.
An important step forward in the 🇪🇺🇮🇱 relationship.
Given tomorrow’s trial of Nika Gvaramia, I reiterate the EP condemnation of the sentencing of Nika,& I reassured his wife & son that we will continue to fight for his release & justice.
The EU has sanctions mechanisms for dealing with those responsible for human rights breaches
RT @davidlega: Tomorrow, the Belgian Parliament will vote on the ratification of an extradition treaty with the Iranian regime. With this letter, we urge the 🇧🇪 MPs to reject it. A ratification of such treaty would effectively make 🇧🇪 a safe haven for 🇮🇷 terrorists to operate with impunity!
Much welcomed statement. But Belarus’ sovereignty isn’t just threatened by Lukashenka’s complicity in Russian aggression against Ukraine, it is first and foremost threatened by his illegal usurpation of power
RT @JosepBorrellF: Discussing with Belarus‘ opposition leader @Tsihanouskaya, I reiterated the EU’s unwavering support to the Belarusian people’s struggle to determine Belarus’ own future and sovereignty.
Which is threatened …
As the @EPPGroup shadow rapporteur, I’m delighted that the @EP_ForeignAff committee opinion on the anti-coercion instrument, and all amendments I have tabled (including those that explicitly name economic coercion from the PRC), have been adopted by wide support.
RT @ipacglobal: Yesterday @europarl_en debated the arrest of Cardinal Zen & the trustees of the 612 relief fund in Hong Kong.
IPAC 🇪🇺 co-chair @MiriamMLex said “it is in the intention of John Lee and the CCP to destroy the last remains of Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms."
And yet some in Europe feel that we must strengthen our relations with Iran, and increase our energy dependence on this destabilising regime

RT @benedictrogers: A huge thank you to @MiriamMLex and other friends in @europarl_en for this important resolution on the arrests of Cardinal Zen and the trustees of the 612 relief fund in #HongKong
The @europarl_en urgency resolution on the arrest of Cardinal Zen & the trustees of the 612 relief fund has been approved! I thank colleagues from across the house for their strong support, which is a testimony to the cross-party unity in standing with the people of #HongKong
RT @MarkLClifford: Thank you @MiriamMLex. There are few better examples of the cruelty of the #CCP in #HongKong than Cardinal Zen's arrest.
Cardinal Zen is a symbol of #HongKong’s struggle for freedom & embodies the Christian pursuit of freedom &love of one’s neighbour. Read my full remarks during today’s debate on the @europarl_en urgency resolution on the arrest of Cardinal Zen & the trustees of the 612 relief fund
