Today in @EP_HumanRights, @EU_Commission suggested that it always conducts impact assessments and guarantees human rights monitoring for migration projects in third countries.
If this is the case, why did the Commission deny the existence of these in response to my request? 👇
RT @Tineke_Strik: No fundamental rights impact assessments are conducted when the EU finances migration projects abroad. This is what three Commission departments admit in response to my req…

Afghan women and girls are being erased from public life. It is our moral duty to stand with them, but EU support falls short. Member States should grant visa and protection to those who need to urgently flee the country. #StandWithAfghanistan

Despite a clear condemnation by the Court of Justice last year, the Lithuanian Parliament adopted a bill to legalise pushbacks and allow armed citizens to commit these crimes as well. I urge the Commission to stop these violations and ensure access to protection.
RT @LinaVosyliute: UPDATE: Today Lithuanian Parliament has voted to make the push-backs a state policy within 5 km of the border as well as the set-up of the armed supporters of the border guards.

Europarlementariërs van VVD en CDA stemden deze week voor het Trumpiaanse voorstel om hekken te financieren met EU-geld.
Dit is niet alleen een gevaarlijke non-oplossing, door populistische standpunten over te nemen speel je extreemrechts in de kaart.

Stateless persons are still not properly recognized in many EU states. They spend years, even decades, in a horrific legal limbo. I call on EU & its members to provide stateless refugees access to the rights, protection & sense of belonging they are entitled to #StatelessJourneys

Rather than offering protection and safety, the Danish government endangers Syrian refugees by sending them back to the horror that Assad created.
Together with MEPs from different political groups, we strongly urge Denmark to stop these deportations. #SyriaIsNotSafe

While migrants are subject to grave human rights violations, some of my @EPPGroup colleagues call for solidarity. But not with migrants.
Their solidarity entails fences, deterrence and the criminalisation of humanitarian aid.
That is not solidarity, but being partners in crime.

Referring to the European Parliament's banner stating unconditional support for Ukrainians, @SR_Afghanistan rightfully asks why we are not saying the same for Afghans.
