Vanmorgen heb ik als rapporteur over de humanitaire crisis in Gaza (weer..) een verklaring uitgegeven.

De woorden genocide en etnische zuivering roepen binnen PACE veel weerstand op.
Maar het is zeer belangrijk om de juridische kaders van HRL scherp te houden.

We firmly condemn the unjust arrests of Ekrem İmamoğlu and other political figures, based on questionable allegations.

Such actions attack directly democracy and will of people.

People’s voice cannot be silenced through intimidation and arrests!

Full solidarity with @ekrem-imamoglu.bsky.social
