Good that the remaining objections to the participation of 3 NGOs to UNCAC #CoSP10 were defeated. Disturbingly, 63 States abstained. Vienna consensus cannot prevail at the expense of CSO participation @anticorruption #UnitedAgainstCorruption #UNCAC20

[Dmitri Alperovitch @DAlperovitch]

Russian Duma passes a law criminalizing distribution of “fake news” about the Russian military with up to 15 years in prison.
Calling for people to attend anti-war protests in Russia will now carry a penalty of up to 5 years in prison.

Repression in Russia accelerating rapidly…

[Signal @signalapp]

We've had an uptick in usage in Eastern Europe & rumors are circulating that Signal is hacked & compromised. This is false. Signal is not hacked. We believe these rumors are part of a coordinated misinformation campaign meant to encourage people to use less secure alternatives.

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The central question.

Are Europeans willing to face some rationing of gas to bring the Russian economy to its knees in weeks?

We didn't loosen our addiction their gas when we should have. A small price now to help save #Ukraine ?

New #CPI2021 finds direct, inverse correlation between #corruption and #civicspace and civil liberties. 98% of killings of #HRDs are in countries with high corruption

[Transparency International @anticorruption]

🚨 Note to governments: Closing media outlets and NGOs, killing human rights defenders and protestors or spying on journalists or politicians won’t help you improve your #CPI2021 score. Try doing the opposite. https://t.co/4Ce71olhEh

🔴 #SummitforDemocracy: In their speeches, many leaders missed the opportunity to pledge new measures to curb cross-border corruption. But, together with @transparencyUSA, we welcome a string of policy & multilateral initiatives announced by the US gov't. https://t.co/Ix0lp3vkUE
