Met de recente schipbreuk voor de Italiaanse kust, waar 89 mensen verdronken, nog vers in het achterhoofd ben ik in Italië om met de autoriteiten en ngo’s te spreken en een opvangcentrum te bezoeken.

None of these issues can ultimately be solved without a humane EU response rooted in solidarity and fundamental rights.

Stay tuned for live updates of my encounters this week.

In Rome, I will speak with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about Italy's cooperation on migration with third countries like Libya, Tunisia & Egypt. I remain highly concerned about Italy's EU-funded cooperation with Libyan actors who commit crimes against humanity. 4/

As asylum seekers continue to arrive in Lampedusa, I plan to assess the reception conditions on the island. I'll also meet with local authorities & NGOs to discuss the functioning of the asylum system and the impact of the new immigration and NGO criminalisation decrees. 3/

With the Cutro shipwreck tragedy still fresh in mind, I'll meet with @SeaWatchItaly to discuss the criminalisation of their operations. And I'll speak with the Italian coastguard, Frontex and the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre about their search and rescue coordination. 2/

Very worrisome developments in Italy:

The loss of so many lives in the recent shipwreck. The new immigration laws that strip away rights. The crackdown on Search and Rescue NGOs.

I have arrived at Lampedusa, followed by Rome to assess the situation on the ground. 🧵

I fully support the urgent call from @Dunja_Mijatovic for the swift implementation of the EHtHR judgments ensuring free, fair and non-discriminatory elections in #Bosnia.

A mayor is left no other choice than to step down after a life-threatening attach by the far-right, just because he planned to host refugees. He resigns because the French government let him down. It is key to stand with the defenders of our values. https://www.liberation.fr/societe/ville/saint-brevin-le-maire-demissionne-apres-lincendie-de-son-domicile-20230510_A2QOXYO4MBEWLK2K6BLE4E46WA/

#Poland: After the crack down on independent courts, proposals to manipulate elections and to curtail freedom of expression, now the academic freedom is under attack. The autocracy in Poland really affects all vital components of the rule of law, fundamental rights and democracy.

Most states worldwide committed to share responsibility for refugees. But look at the reality: fences, pushbacks and shady migration deals have been normalised.

We have to keep up our values. The world is too small to turn our backs on refugees.

RT @BestForBritain: Baroness Kramer shares the story of her mother - a Jewish refugee who fell in love with a British officer. Her request for a visa was refused. She was smuggled to the UK two years later.

Most impactful was Baroness Helić, who came to the UK fleeing conflict in Bosnia.

Amnesty is right: unanimous adoption of UN resolution on #Afghanistan, strongly condemning women and girls being erased from society is a good step. But it must be followed by holding #Taliban accountable for these systematic violations. https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2023/04/afghanistan-un-security-council-resolution-must-be-backed-up-by-concerted-action-to-restore-the-rights-of-women-and-girls/

Het is juíst het xenofobe beleid van deze president waardoor mensen nu en masse het land ontvluchten.

Deals met Saied gaan niet leiden tot minder migratie, wel tot medeplichtigheid in mensenrechtenschendingen en het in stand houden van een dictator. https://www.amnesty.nl/actueel/racistische-toespraak-president-tunesie-zet-aan-tot-golf-van-geweld-tegen-zwarte-afrikanen

Alleen dan kunnen we grenslanden houden aan naleving van EU-regels, voor een goede opvang en asielprocedure. Van der Burg moet daar het voortouw op nemen. 2/2

Het rechterlijke verbod om asielzoekers terug te sturen naar Italië onderstreept de noodzaak om de verantwoordelijkheid niet eenzijdig bij grenslanden te leggen, maar eerlijk te verdelen over alle EU-landen. 1/2
