10/10/2023 | 17:04:42 Thank you, Madam President. And I welcome this report and I absolutely welcome the debate that we're having here today, because it comes within the background of media all over Europe and many are right-wing politicians in national parliaments all over Europe being very critical of the principles behind the European Convention on Human Rights. And indeed in the case of my own country a significant number of conservative MPs actively calling for withdrawal from the European Convention on Human... 23/06/2023 | 10:43:44 Thank you, Mister President. To follow Ms Zeynep YILDIZ, I just gently point out that winning an election does not mean human rights are dissolved; it means that those rights carry on whether somebody has won the election or not. The issues are about the right of people to express themselves, the right of journalists to be able to report what is going on. I welcome the report that we have got in front of us today. I particularly want to draw attention to the issue of the freedom of speech and... 22/06/2023 | 20:02:38 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I totally condemn the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the appalling consequences of the war, which mean we’re debating these reports today.

I couldn't, again, disagree with him more. It's as though the whole speaking arrangements have been designed to make us a double act. I just remind him and remind everyone else: to seek asylum is not illegal. It is clear from the 1951 Geneva Convention that that is absolutely the case. When he talks about criminal gangs that are involved in people smuggling and people trafficking, yes, there are people... 21/06/2023 | 17:56:06 Hello. I couldn't disagree more with the speaker who's just addressed this Assembly than I intended to do now. Frankly, it was racist hate speech against people who've made their homes in this continent in order to survive, to avoid human rights abuses, and the effects of wars, and have made a massive contribution to our world, to our community, and to our society. I would like to take our Hungarian friend to my own community, where I'm proud to represent a constituency where there are 100...
