25/06/2026 | 16:48:41 Thank you, Madam Vice-President, First and foremost, I want to congratulate our rapporteur, Mr Constantinos EFSTATHIOU, for this clear-sighted and courageous report. Let me start with a quote : "In 2021, I received a video call from one of my siblings in Tibet. When I picked up, I found they were calling from the local police station, surrounded by half of our family. Police officers urged me to behave well abroad and refrain from engaging in activities that could go against Chinese policies... 23/06/2026 | 18:41:07 Thank you, Chair.

It affects Europe's security and it affects the universal values on which the Council of Europe was founded: human rights, peace and the inviolable dignity of every human being.
