On #India’s declining rights record, Jaishankar shifted from acknowledgment to denial, dismissing concerns as politically motivated. This won’t address the widespread abuses documented by India’s own civil society, NGOs, and UN experts - @claudiofrancavilla.bsky.social tribune.com.pk/story/253295...

A European Parliament delegation held an official hearing to talk about "trade potential" with #Israel, a state on trial for genocide, whose ICC-wanted PM just announced a plan to keep starving 2 million people. This is appalling, @president.europarl.europa.eu, and you shouldn't have let it happen.

In line with their plan to thwart EU unity on #Ukraine, #Hungary & #Slovakia didn't support a EU statement at #HRC58: eeas.europa.eu/delegations/... The bloc must realize it can't remain hostage of #Putin 's trojan horses. Keeping the unanimity rule is suicidal. @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu

It takes a village to get a EU statement out, but you shouldn't allow the outcome to be garbage, @kajakallas.bsky.social Own the statement, the process, and block it when it reaches these levels. Be better than this. This is embarrassing. www.eeas.europa.eu/eeas/israelp... #Gaza #ceasefire

This is barbaric. You do not starve 2 million people to put pressure on an armed group. We’re not in the middle age - or shouldn’t be. Humanitarian aid must get into #Gaza, regardless of any ceasefire. IHL + ICJ rulings are crystal clear. #Israel keeps violating both, with impunity.

Under #Modi, #India authorities jail, harass peaceful critics, harshly repress dissent & minorities, incite hatred & violence. All amid EU silence.

With the #Omnibus published, the Commission sides with giant corporations rather than victims of corporate abuse. Under the pretense of ‘simplification’, the Commission’s guts its own achievements on corporate accountability & abdicates principled leadership in advancing a #sustainable economy.

She's right. Isolate the idiotic bully, and the evil minds puppetmastering him. Don't amplify their bullshit. Don't even give them the outrage they're aiming at. Ignore. Stay focused on ongoing atrocities, the need to end them, and holding criminals to account. x.com/FranceskAlbs...

We are deeply worried that Laila Soueif, mother of jailed British-Egyptian Alaa Abdel Fattah, is in hospital after almost 150 days of hunger strike. No mother should feel such a desperate act is her only recourse. We call on Egypt to immediately #FreeAlaa, & on the UK to step up diplomatic efforts.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

#Ceasefire or not, People should never be starved, Hospitals, schools, humanitarians, journalists, civilians should never be targeted, No one should be held hostage, arbitrarily jailed, tortured. Those are VERY serious crimes. Impunity would only help them happen again.
