“They came for the migrants…”
And if you cheered, thinking you’d be safe—you’ve missed the point.
Without the ECHR, there’s no line the government can’t cross.
Workers’ rights? Protest rights? Speech? Gone. Legally. Quietly.

A country where the government:
Can detain you indefinitely
Can deport without appeal
Can ignore rulings from independent courts
If you think that’ll never apply to you, you’re the reason it might.
Especially the people you don’t like.
Because the moment the state learns it can trample one person’s rights—it won’t stop there.
And when they come for you? There’ll be no one left to speak.
