02/10/2024 | 10:55:04 Thank you, Madam President. Dear colleagues, I would like to thank you for this good debate about this important topic. And I would like to point out that if you look at the definition of a political prisoner, Mr Julian ASSANGE and his case fulfils this definition. He was convicted for engaging in acts of journalism. This is a clear instance of a politically motivated incarceration. If it were any other country, if it were one of the countries that we are happy to point towards having... 30/09/2024 | 12:13:06 Dear Vladimir, I'm so happy that you can finally deliver your acceptance speech for your well-earned Václav Havel Human Rights Prize for which I had the great honour of nominating you back in 2022. You were imprisoned for speaking your mind, for bravely speaking against war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the agents of the usurper of your beloved home country, Russia, against your friends and neighbours in Ukraine.

Dear colleagues, the International Court of Justice has ordered that the State of Israel immediately hold its military offensive in Gaza to prevent the genocide of the Palestinian people. Israel did not stop. Israel has not been made to stop. And Europe certainly has not told Israel to stop. This Assembly certainly has not told Israel to stop. But why, Mister President? What else does this Assembly, this continent, need to stand up against the crime of genocide? The... 18/04/2024 | 18:47:33 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, Many of you have stated that this conflict started on the 7 October last year, with Hamas' reprehensible attack on Israel and its citizens, and the taking of hundreds of hostages, an act which I condemn wholeheartedly.
