📢 #Greece: On October 31 in Exarchia, Athens, the police assaulted a #disabled man, without provocation, using ableist slurs & violence‼️They also attacked others, sitting in bars, in the "context" of a demo passing by. Impunity must end‼️

The crisis of trust in institutions is a wake-up call | eKathimerini.com The recent survey by KAPA Research reveals a disheartening – but at the same time valuable – message for Greek society: 97% of citizens consider corruption to be “fairly to very widespread” in the cou...

#Greece
97% of citizens consider corruption to be “fairly to very widespread”
92% state that they do not trust the media
86% the political parties
71% the judiciary
65% the government
66% the independent authorities.

Can you consider this a failed state?

Corps de fillette, ours en peluche en main : le scandale pour Shein, « il y a même des commentaires des acheteurs » (photo) Régulièrement dénoncé pour promouvoir la mode ultra-éphémère, Shein a été signalé à la justice française pour la commercialisation de poupées sexuelles à caractère pédopornographIque, qui ont été reti...

L'impunité de Shein doit cesser.

Les enquêtes contre Shein n'arrêtent pas et pourtant les scandales s'enchainent. J'interpellerai la Commission européenne, elle doit mettre fin à ces pratiques.

La responsabilité des plateformes doit être totale!

The rule of law in Greece is in a dire state. When will the @ec.europa.eu wake up and act? And when will @eppgroup.bsky.social finally put principles over party interests? #Tempi #Pylos #Karaivaz #Predator #OPEKEPE #ZakKostopoulos (and much more)

The murder of Greek journalist Giorgos #Karaivaz has never been resolved. Now one of the suspects who was tried and acquitted for the murder, has himself been murdered. Will the cover up continue or will the authorities finally investigate? www.ekathimerini.com/news/1285558...

CD With Contacts - including G. Dimitriadis and P. Kontoleon - Belonging to Assassinated Journalist Karaivaz Destroyed - tovima.com Revelation came on Tuesday during a relevant trial, with the CD reportedly containing the names of top officials that resigned in the wake of a wiretapping furor

In case you think the #Karaivaz murder is just another Mafia killing, then ask yourself why there is no proper investigation www.tovima.com/society/cd-w.... This is not a Mafia issue but a rule of law issue. In the European Union today.

10.000 ευρώ ορίζεται η αποζημίβση κατά ν.3471/2006 για την παράνομη χρήση τηλεπικοινωνιακών δεδομένων. Μπορούν να γίνουν λοιπον ατομικές αγωγές κατά του ελληνικού δημοσίου για την ηθική βλάβη που προκλήθηκε. Οχι ομαδικά διότι αυτό ακυρώνει το ίδιο το αίτημα της προστασίας των προσωπικών δεδομένων.

🚔 Quelle police voulons-nous ?
À Bruxelles et Anderlecht, des manifestant·es pacifiques, parfois des familles avec enfants, ont subi répression et violences.

👉Nous voulons une police qui protège les droits, pas qui les piétine.

Enough crocodile tears. Each year at the UN General Assembly, States ask me the same questions. My answer hasn’t changed: protect human rights defenders, enact & enforce policies, prosecute attackers. Determination is what’s lacking. States must start showing it. #UNGA80

Η άθλια κυβέρνηση δεν φρόντισε στους κατόχους θυρίδων στα καταστήματα που κλείνουν να στείλει ειδοποίηση και έτσι δεν ξέρουν πού θα τις βρούν τη Δευτέρα. Ανήκω σε αυτούς με θυρίδα στα ΕΛΤΑ Νεάπολης στην Ιπποκράτους.

In the campaign there was a deafening silence on Europe, as if the outside world did not exist. We can surely expect a new Dutch position with regard to specific policies (notably on climate) but probably not with regard to to politics, i.e. constitutional reforms of the EU. 2/2

Today, Géza Buzás-Hábel has been questioned by the Hungarian police as a criminal suspect. His crime, according to Orbán? Organising the Pécs Pride. It is unacceptable that he is prosecuted for exercising his rights. We have sent a letter to the Commission to not let that happen.

As November 1st will mark one year since the tragic collapse of the #NoviSad station canopy in #Serbia, I am sharing this Guest Blog by a young Serbian human rights defender, who recounts a year of solidarity actions & youth-led demonstrations for justice.

The flag of Cyprus flying in the wind against a bright blue sky.

I welcome the decision of the Supreme Constitutional Court of #Cyprus, overturning the ruling of the Administrative Court to deregister KISA, a prominent human rights organization in the country. I wrote to the govt several times raising concerns about KISA & its executive director in the past.
