Greatly concerned by reports that the Election Resource Centre/Zimbabwe Election Support Network data centre was raided last night & staff detained.These orgs do vital human rights work monitoring if elections are free&fair. Attempts to intimidate them are very worrying.

Moldova's democracy stands strong, but political will alone is not enough to face external challenges, I emphasized at the @coe summit in Reykjavik.
With Russia remaining a source of instability for our region, Moldova must join the EU to safeguard and consolidate our democracy.

[Derek Mitchell @AmbDMitchell]

Looking forward to this discussion Thursday morning (DC time). Please join!

Courage, strength and fierce dedication to principle only begin to describe a man like @vkaramurza. His should be a household name in the pantheon of historic Russian political prisoners. #FreeKaraMurza
