🚨⚠️We express concern over the detention of Vjolanda Peca, a journalist with @citizensalb, a non-profit media outlet focused on citizen journalism in Albania. Peca was detained today while reporting on the protest outside the Albanian Parliament.

Eksperti i pavarur @IESOGI vizitoi Shqipërinë nga 1-12 korrik. Ai tha se Qeveria krijoi infrastrukturë solide për të luftuar diskriminimin, por duhet të bëjë më shumë për të garantuar që ligjet dhe politikat të zbatohen dhe përputhen me realitetet e jetuara nga personat #LGBT

Children are starving in Gaza. Instead of opening up the borders and allowing humanitarian aid to come in, Israeli soldiers are shooting people who are desperately trying to get food off of trucks. This must stop. The U.S. cannot continue funding the Netanyahu war machine.
.@WHO has managed to get in touch with health professionals at the Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza.
The situation is dire and perilous.
It's been 3 days without electricity, without water and with very poor internet which has severely impacted our ability to provide essential care.
The constant gunfire and bombings in the area have exacerbated the already critical circumstances.
Tragically, the number of patient fatalities has increased significantly.
Regrettably, the hospital is not functioning as a hospital anymore.
The world cannot stand silent while hospitals, which should be safe havens, are transformed into scenes of death, devastation, and despair.
Ceasefire. NOW.
I am horrified by the reported attack in Gaza on an ambulance convoy outside Al Shifa hospital.
Now, for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children & women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.
This must stop.
"The violator is always the violator. You cannot say they have provoked me." Serbia has violated on so many "provocation" grounds, that the word "provokacija" has gained a specific political meaning in the region.
Interviewing this old man, retired after working for decades in the mining sector, who is still forced to work because of the low pension (less than 200€ per month) broke my heart. He sells different products on the street to survive. Couldn't hold my tears. 💔
Free and independent media play an essential role in promoting democracy and human rights.
Today, on #WorldPressFreedomDay, let's stand together to protect freedom of speech and support journalists around the world who are still facing a lot of challenges and dangers.
@fraurinen it has been the "Bible" I promoted to all ppl I had a chance, last year. We are looking to translate it into Albanian. I've already translated chapter 2.
Government’s claim to be leading crackdown on illegal builds hides an important fact – that such violators are often well connected to the ruling Socialist Party in #Albania

This is horrifying. The Iranian parliament votes overwhelmingly (227-63) to execute the 15,000 protesters they already arrested.
These were peaceful protestors simply seeking the right to basic justice and autonomy. Unacceptable and barbaric.

Iranians aren’t just fighting compulsory hijab, they’re fighting:
• Gender apartheid
• Forced confessions
• No due process
• Unfair trials
• Extrajudicial killings
• No free expression
• Torture
• child marriage
• Government corruption
• Funding of terror
• Theocracy
Nesër, e mërkurë, 31 gusht, ora 18:30, mblidhemi te sheshi Nënë Tereza në Tiranë, për të protestuar në solidaritet me Prishtinën, kundër dhunës patriarkale.
Ngjarja e rëndë ku një vajzë 11-vjeçare është përdhunuar nga 5 burra në Prishtinë na ka lënduar tejmase.
Historikisht kemi qene deshmitar te faktit qe dhuna seksuale nuk adresohet me seriozitet nga institucionet shteterore duke dhene denime qesharake ndaj abuzuesve te cilet disa muaj ose vite pas krimit dalin rrugeve duke kerkuar viktimen e rradhes.
The wider 🇬🇧 in 🇦🇱 family will join the #WeAreFamily Pride Parade 🏳️🌈, on May 21, at 11:00 in 📍Mother Teresa Square.
Join us to celebrate diversity, love and solidarity. See you there!

On the day that Russia invaded Ukraine, the front pages of government-affiliated newspapers in Serbia announced that Ukraine had attacked Russia.
When will the EU hold the Serbian government to account, @VjosaMusliu asks.
