Journalists silenced, judges dismissed, opposition leaders jailed, civil society crushed. Every day the rule of law is being dismantled brick by brick. This is not about isolated abuse. It is systemic, it is strategic, and it raises serious concerns. The arrest of Ekrem İMAMOĞLU, just days after becoming the presidential candidate of the democratic... 01/10/2024 | 20:37:58 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) Honourable colleagues, It is time to voice our deep concerns regarding the ongoing human rights violations in Iran and the critical need for the protection of Iranian human rights defenders, particularly those seeking refuge in Council of Europe member states.

It is for sure that the 2021 events in Afghanistan have been sealed into our collective consciousness. Families leaving their homes, and numerous refugees seeking safe land. Women and girls losing some of their fundamental human rights. For sure, it is, as the rapporteur said, a war against the women and girls in this country. The Council of Europe has a long... 13/10/2023 | 11:23:54 Thank you very much. Dear colleagues, as a new member of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, it is a great honour not only to stand in front of you, but also to represent the Group of the European People's Party today.
