I'll be following the final hearing in the case against human rights defender Ieva Raubiško in #Latvia tomorrow & am hoping for a positive judgement that upholds the right to defend rights. I wrote to the government on her case in 2023 @LatviaUN_Geneva

Human rights defenders play a vital role in protecting the rights of migrants and refugees crossing international borders. It was a pleasure to meet Latvian 🇱🇻 #human rights defender Ieva Raubiško @leraub today and express @osce_odihr ‘s appreciation for her important work.
“People are desperate. They don't know anymore what to do. They've lost family members. They've lost their homes. They have been displaced again.”
General Director Meinie Nicolai is currently coordinating MSF medical activities in #Gaza. 📽️ Watch her striking update.
In 2023, I raised concerns with the Gov. of #Latvia about the criminal case brought against WHRD #IevaRabuisko for acts aimed at protecting the rights of asylum seekers. I'll be following her trial on 28 Feb. The case should be dismissed @LatviaUN_Geneva

#HumanRights defender Ieva Raubiško should be allowed to work freely and safely.
Working to save lives should not be criminalised.
#Latvia must live up to its international obligations and protect refugees, asylum seekers, and HRDs and NGOs assisting them.
#Gaza: I call for an immediate end to the use of military weapons and means during Israeli law enforcement operations, an end to ill-treatment & discriminatory restrictions of Palestinians - @volker_turk on the UN report on the human rights situation in the occupied West Bank
As hostilities in Gaza intensify, I remain gravely concerned about further spillover of this conflict, which could have devastating consequences for the entire region.
I reiterate my call for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire & release of all hostages.

Brutal resumption of hostilities in #Gaza and the terrifying impact on civilians underscore the need to end the violence.
@volker_turk calls for a political solution built on the only viable long-term basis – the full respect of the human rights of Palestinians and Israelis.
Jaunieši šorīt pie ĀM salikuši arbūzus - arbūzs daudzos protestos simbolizējis Palestīnas karogu, kad tas bijis aizliegts, jo tās pašas krāsas. 50% Gazas iedzīvotāju ir bērni. Bērni nekad nav teroristi, bērniem nekad nav jāmirst, bērnu nāve civilzētā pasaulē nav blakusparādība.
Latvijas zinātne mērķtiecīgi pašiznīcinās. Jaunākais pasākums — feikie tenūras konkursi, kas ļaus iecementēties savos amatos akadēmiski vājiem profesoriem. Jāsaprot, ka zemas kvalitātes universitātes ilgtermiņā padarīs jebkādu ekonomisko izrāvienu par neiespējamu.
Zviedrija, Somija, Dānija, Norvēģija un Islande. Latvijai arī ir jābūt kopā ar Ziemeļvalstīm savā demokrātijas, drošības un cilvēktiesību izpratnē.
Ziemeļvalstu padome atbalsta humānās palīdzības sniegšanai nepieciešamās pauzes izsludināšanu Gazā. Starptautiskie likumi, cilvēktiesības un demokrātija ir jāievēro vienmēr, un Izraēlai tas ir jānodrošina Gazas joslas civiliedzīvotājiem. Šādu nostāju pauduši Ziemeļvalstu ārlietu ministri.
Ziemeļvalstis aizstāv risinājumu par sarunām, kuru gala rezultāts būtu divu valstu - Izraēlas un Palestīnas – līdzāspastāvēšana.

UN Human Rights Chief @volker_turk calls on all parties as well as third States with influence to do all in their power to de-escalate this conflict, and to work toward the goal where Israelis and Palestinians can fully enjoy all human rights and live side by side, in peace. https://t.co/JOiBzamOl7
I reiterate my appeal for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire, unconditional release of hostages & delivery of relief at a level corresponding to the dramatic needs of the people in Gaza, where a humanitarian catastrophe is unfolding in front of our eyes.
