Смерть Навального – это резкое напоминание о том, насколько недемократичной и нелиберальной стала Россия. Один из самых сильных голосов свободы, плюрализма и демократии заставили замолчать. Призываю к независимому расследованию!

Приношу соболезнования его семье и соратникам

[Volker Türk @volker_turk]

This year was an existential crisis for too many, with intolerable human suffering & climate destruction.

We must turn the lessons learned this year into tangible action in 2024:
-Peace is only achieved thru respect for rights
-Human rights are not a cost, they're an investment

Violence against women and girls is utterly unacceptable. Nothing can justify it and it has no place in our society.

Let's stop gender-based violence before it starts – online and offline!
