Democracy prevails in #Moldova! The elections were marked by Russian efforts at vote buying and manipulation, but the country’s democratic institutions held firm—delivering a clear victory for the pro-European Party for Action and Solidarity.

For 34 years, Ukraine has stood strong. For over 11 years, it has resisted Russian aggression. And for 3½ years, it has endured a full-scale invasion. Yet the Ukrainian spirit remains unbroken.
We stand with Ukraine.
💙Slava Ukraïni💛

Mr. Lugovoy is better known for being the main suspect in the 2006 assassination of Aleksandr Litvinenko, who was killed in London with a radioactive isotope administered in a cup of tea.

Duma rep Andrei Lugovoy has sent a letter to Russian Justice Dep to list NHC as an «undesirable organization» after decades of cooperation with dissidents and human rights defenders. We strongly disagree & see this as part of the Kremlin’s campaign against civil society. So far no official response

@aageb.bsky.social has been to the EU Parliament with Corisk to present the latest trends regarding the effects of the sanctions against Russia. The sanctions are working; they are saving Ukrainian lives, but there is still room to make them stronger and more effective‼️

On February 16 2024, Alexei Navalny was killed in a high-security penal colony. Today, on his birthday, we are remembering a man who gave everything in the fight for justice and freedom in #Russia. We remember Alexei Navalny, and we promise you: We will not give up!!

Today, it is 20 years since the #ANDIJAN massacre!

Remembering Boris Nemtsov❤️ Today marks the 10 years since the Russian opposition leader was murdered. He was not afraid and openly opposed Putin's military aggression against Ukraine, protested against the wars in Chechnya, fought against corruption. For this, he was silenced

It's time for parliamentarians to get involved in the fight for the release of political prisoners! Evgenia & @vkaramurza.bsky.social attend a panel at #OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, with Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya @antoniostango.bsky.social Norwegian and Swedish delegations @beritlindeman.bsky.social

The US and Russia cannot strike a peace deal without #Ukraine at the table. They must prioritise release of forcibly deported Ukrainian children, Ukrainian civilians held by Russia, and prisoners of war on both sides. Russian war crimes must be prosecuted in order to achieve a lasting peace.

This weekend, the head of the Armenian Helsinki Committee, Avetik Ishkhanyan, passed away in Yerevan. We will always remember his passionate discussions and good sense of humour. Our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and colleagues.

Who is the criminal? Ulfatkhonim Mamadshoeva – journalist, human rights activist and defender of children's and women's rights – or Emomali Rahmon – dictator in Tajikistan, murderer, torturer and kidnapper? He sentenced her to 21 years in prison! Support Ulfatkhonim!

X has become an arena of hate and disinformation. Twitter, as we knew it, no longer exists. That's why we, as a human rights organisation, have decided to stop posting on X. But fear not! Follow nhcno here on #Bluesky
We will continue fighting for #humanrights and #democracy

The NHC condemns the violence against peaceful protesters in #Georgia. Perpetrators must be investigated, senior leaders of the Government and security forces sanctioned, and new and free elections held with international assistance. We stand with the Georgian people!
