Surveillance must not undermine the right to freedom of peaceful assembly or the work of human rights defenders. 🧵⬇️

[OSCE/ODIHR @osce_odihr]

No human rights defender should face intimidation for engaging with @OSCE. ODIHR regrets comments targeting Georgian civil society representatives for their participation at the 2026 Warsaw Human Dimension Conference. HRDs must be able to speak freely without fear of retaliation.

Strong & effective #NHRIs are crucial in protecting #HumanRights, empowering people to claim & affirm their rights. Great to join @OmbudsArmenia's conf. "NHRIs amid turbulent times: resilience & challenges" marking 20th anniv of #Armenia's Human Rights Defender
