I wonder whether the European Civil Protection Mechanism can be activated for people—especially children—burned alive in plastic tents, or is it just for trees.
📝Nouvelle enquête sur MCC Brussels, think tank pro-Orbán qui s'attaque à l'#UE, aux ONG... Pour tout savoir sur ses connexions avec les réseaux trumpistes et l'extrême-droite en France (politiques, journalistes, "experts"...)👇#internationaleréactionnaire

BREAKING: In a stunning moment of defiance, Maine's Governor Janet Mills stands up to Trump, saying she is complying with state and federal (anti-discrimination) law, and will see him in court over his threat to withhold federal funds. This is incredible.
Ich bin wütend. Zum ersten Mal seit 80 Jahren haben Rechtsextreme heute wieder Macht im Bundestag bekommen. Ein extrem rechter Migrationsantrag wurde von CDU und CSU mit Unterstützung der AfD knapp beschlossen. Bitte schaut das Video und bitte engagiert euch. Es kommt etwas ins Wanken. Nie wieder ist jetzt.
I am glad that in her confirmation hearing, @dubravkasuica admitted that lessons have to be learned from the Tunisia MoU.
She committed to:
✅ Conduct ex ante human rights impact assessments
✅ Impose a robust human rights monitoring mechanism
✅ Share results with Parliament
Le modèle Meloni, admiré et envié par Retailleau, c’est tout de même au final : 65 millions d’euros pour escorter 13 personnes en Albanie et un peu plus pour les ramener au même endroit, quelques jours après, quand l’opération a été déclarée illégale.
Des génies de haut vol👌🏽
Today Doros Polykarpou, an award-winning human rights defender from Cyprus, goes on trial. Amnesty International is concerned that charges he faces appear to be motivated by his human rights work 🧵
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Together with @RefugeesinLibya, we are suing Frontex at the @EUCourtPress!
We demand that the agency stops communicating the location of boats with refugees onboard to the so-called Libyan Coast Guard.
Video with @DavidYambio and footage from @seawatch_intl.
It has been 11 years since the century’s deadliest shipwreck in the #Mediterranean Sea.
📌On 3 October 2013, in #Lampedusa, 368 people lost their lives.
💙Today our hearts are with the survivors and the families of the victims.
📣Today we ask once again, louder, for no more deaths at sea.
Defending nature isn't a crime!
@CaptPaulWatson was arrested by Denmark on a warrant issued by Japan for opposing illegal whaling. If extradited, he could receive a 15-year sentence.
Today, Denmark extended his detention until 2 October.
The battle continues. #FreePaulWatson
The deportation flight from #Germany to #Afghanistan that took place this morning breaches international law.
Nobody should be returned to 🇦🇫.
Extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearances, torture & systematic subjugation of girls and women 🧵

The @BBC revelations of the Greek Coast Guard's direct role in migrant deaths as deliberate policy are chilling. Lack of EU action facilitates brutality. With 30+ MEPs I demand Commissioner @YlvaJohansson & @LeijtensFrontex to enforce, freeze EU funding & suspend Frontex ops in🇬🇷
Harrowing testimony in @BBCNews "Dead Calm: Killing in the Med?"
1 yr after #Pylos shipwreck & human rights violations are business as usual for 🇬🇷 coastguard.
Another blow to 🇬🇷credibility on allegations of abuse of racialized people at its border🧵

Israel needs to explain: how was a DAYTIME rescue effort, when civilians were out and about at the market that was bombed as part of the effort, consistent with the legal duty to take all feasible precautions to spare civilians? https://t.co/PpsqbCn1ze
Around 200 EU staffers protested against the war in Gaza today with a "die-in". The protest was held outside the headquarters of the @EU_Commission, the @EUCouncil and the @eu_eeas. Some held up signs saying "Civil servants against genocide" and "Stop EU-Israel Agreement".
Today, EU civil servants staged a “die-in” protest outside the European Commission ahead of the FAC Trade meeting, demanding urgent action to prevent genocide. “Inaction is complicity. Act now to save lives.”
