It is bewildering that any leader of a democratic country would want to share ‘experience’ with a dictator leading a totalitarian regime. Is this PM Garibashvili’s vision for Georgia?

I’m abhorred by the arrest of Pastor Vyacheslav Goncharenko &amp; Ilya Budai of the New Life Church in Belarus.
As Lukashenka’s regime continues to suppress freedom of religion and all fundamental human rights, the international community must do more to stand with the persecuted!

It is six years since the disappearance of Gao Zhisheng. We mustn’t forget about his fate and that of countless others whom the CCP detainees simply for speaking out in defence of fundamental human rights.

The only thing this ‘glimpse’ tells me is that Jimmy Lai, unlike his jailers, does not belong in prison

As we mark 15th anniversary since Russian aggression against Georgia, our support for Georgian sovereignty, territorial integrity, and freedom and democracy in Georgia, remains steadfast in the face of both internal and external threats.

On the Day of Solidarity with Belarus, my thoughts are with Mikola Statkevich, Pavel Sevyrynets, Palinda Panasiuk &amp; all political prisoners/ Belarusian patriots. We must support them tirelessly &amp; hold those responsible accountable!
One day you will be free. Belarus will be free!

Unless Western political leaders are willing to make clear choices, the Kremlin will continue to circumvent sanctions with Beijing’s help.
We should stop pretending that Beijing is a neutral player!

While Lukashenka invites cut throats, rapists and other criminals to Belarus, there are now nearly 1,500 Belarusian patriots held in inhumane conditions, and the number is likely higher.
One day, Lukashenka &amp; his henchmen will be held to account!

I welcome @JosepBorrellF’s clear statement from on the need to reopen the Lachin corridor by Azerbaijan.
But this will only be achieved if the EU puts pressure on the Aliyev regime. We can’t tolerate people’s lives being risked in Aliyev’s cynical games!

Indeed. However, the major challenge to European growth &amp;competitiveness remains European leaders’ inability to finally recognise the major threat of the PRC’s market distortion and malign practices, and to act accordingly
