Human rights experts: extrajudicial sanctions against six European citizens undermine fundamental rights

The Geneva International Peace Research Institute (GIPRI) has called on the Council of Europe to rescind sanctions against journalists and commentators, including Hüseyin Dogru and Jacques Baud. And human rights lawyer Sunna Ævarsdóttir - head of the Courage Foundation, which has supported such high-profile whistleblowers as Edward Snowden - tells our newspaper why these sanctions are so concerning

We have surpassed one million signatures demanding that the EU suspend its trade agreement with Israel.
It’s simple: let’s sign, share, and demand action.

Yet another strong confirmation that the EU is a great idea when people like Elon, Musk JD Vance, Howard Lutnick and Donald Trump attacked the EU on social media this week. Elon Musk explicitly called for the EU to be abolished with deputy chairman of the Russian security council Dimitri Medvedev openly agreeing with him. It’s clear our enemies wish to weaken the EU. EU citizens must unite stronger than ever!

I just emailed all #Austrian #MEPs about my concerns with #ChatControl (which will be voted on again soon).

https://fightchatcontrol.eu does an excellent job at explaining simply why this proposal is so dangerous.
It also offers template emails to send to MEPs and provides all their contact details on that same website (it really doesn't get any easier than this 😉...).
To all #EUcitizens: I urge you to check out the website and contact your representatives!
