🇳🇮 Bishop Ronaldo Álvarez was arrested in mid-August together with five priests, a seminarian and a cameraman of a religious TV station because he had spoken critically of the socialist regime of Daniel Ortega.
Today in the @europarl_en, we're calling for an end to such abuse.
"Since Russia invaded #Ukraine, more than 2 million Ukrainians have been deported to Russian territory. Civilians are being kept in filtration camps where they are tortured & have no access to food."
🗣️ MEP @j_wisniewska speaks out against Russia's genocidal practices. #EPlenary
"For years, #Putin's Russia has been promoting a migration policy encouraging people from the former Soviet Union to move to Russia by various means, and that's now being extended to #Ukraine."
📣 MEP @r_czarnecki on the illegal deportations of Ukrainians to #Russia. #EPlenary
Over 2 million Ukrainians, including hundreds of thousands of children, have been forcibly deported from their country to Russia.
Many of these children go on to be illegally adopted and subjected to Russification.
"This practice, reminiscent of the barbaric crimes carried out by the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany during World War II, may violate Article II of the Genocide Convention. We have an obligation to both prevent and punish genocide," 🗣 MEP @AnnaFotyga_PE
"#HumanRights are based on core themes like 'human dignity' and 'equal opportunities'. But unfortunately, the conversation about them is increasingly narrowed down to 'me, myself and I'."

"Ms @vonderleyen, do you really want to build a better EU? Note that here's not only the French and German model for how things should run. It cannot be that EU actors intervene in national elections. We need more respect for one another."
🗣️ MEP @BeataSzydlo | #SOTEU #EPlenary
"We need to intervene to support households and businesses. That's essential to overcome the crises we have before us."
"We need to work with conviction to ensure we have genuine unity within the EU. Not just a façade of unity."
"We need to bolster the relationship of Europe’s countries within the Transatlantic alliance."
"We need to clearly condemn the actions and behaviours of #Russia. We offer full support and solidarity, in words and in deeds, with #Ukraine."
