RT @LegaSve: ”Europaparlamentarikern David Lega (KD) har rätt när han kritiserar von der Leyen för att inte använda de medel som EU har tillgång till för att sätta allvar bakom orden att antisemitism i alla former ska motverkas.”

🆕Following the EP recognition of crimes against humanity and serious risk of genocide in #Xinjiang, I've submitted the following written question to the HRVP @JosepBorrellF, together with my colleagues in the EP Uyghur Friendship Group @rglucks1 (S&D) and @EnginEroglu_FW (RE):

Today is the International Day for the Elimination of Sexual Violence in Conflict - one of the most silenced and least condemned war crimes. We must always stand with the victims and fight against impunity for these terrible crimes! ⛔ #EndRapeinWar #EndCRSV
RT @EPPGroup: We stand for a Europe of freedom, tolerance and respect. A European Union where everyone is free to be who they want to be, free to love who they wish to love.
There can be no place in the EU for discrimination and laws that go against peoples' fundamental freedoms.

RT @AJCTAI: The interparliamentary Transatlantic Friends of Israel (TFI) regret that the Commission didn't condition part of its funding to the Palestinian Authority until it ends antisemitic incitement in textbooks.
@vonderleyen @JosepBorrellF @OliverVarhelyi https://www.shorturl.at/
RT @eurojewcong: WGAS MEPs have criticised the decision by the @EU_Commission to release funds destined for the Palestinian Authority that had been withheld due to antisemitism and terrorism glorification in Palestinian textbooks.

Ok, but could you please publish the long-awaited report on HR abuses in #Xinjiang before you go? (The report was finalised last year, and was announced to be released 'in a matter of weeks'). The absent report seriously harms the credibility of your office. #UyghurGenocide
RT @mbachelet: Today, I briefed @UN_HRC, opening my last session as High Commissioner. I will not be seeking a second term for personal reasons. It is time to go …
