LGBTI persons are too often the first to be silenced — online and offline. These attacks reflect a deeper erosion of democratic values.
At the #IDAHOT+ Forum, organised in Malta, our message is clear: @coe.int stands with all who defend equality.

If you are under European jurisdiction you can seek #Justice before the European Court of Human Rights.
Today at the Court, I met those who turn #HumanRights from principles into real impact. The Council of Europe builds Justice and democratic security.

#Democracy is more than just voting. It’s a promise: that everyone has a voice, rights, and a future. But that promise is fragile… and today, it’s under threat. 📢 #CoE 🧵1/7
