On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember Nazi victims, including Roma. Their genocide #Porajmos was long ignored, and ignorance still persists. This day is not only about the past. I feel its scars today through structural anti-Roma racism.
Honor the Porajmos by standing against racism every day!

If this struggle does not prevail, it will not be for lack of Iranian bravery — it will be a disgrace to the free world for systematically looking away while human rights are violated on such a massive scale.

Gratitude at altitude: returning from Paris, Romania’s President saw his plane escorted over Swiss airspace by two F-18 jets — a powerful thank you for Romania’s help in transporting victims of the Crans-Montana fire.
Beyond borders and protocol, our shared humanity matters most. ✈️🤍 #solidarity
Protests sweep Iran over dignity, accountability & cost-of-living crisis. The regime answers with bullets, arrests, censorship-the only language of a regime at the end of its rope.
Democracies must act: pressure, sanctions, support for civil society & access to info.

Despite Moscow’s desperate efforts to sway the elections — through disinformation, bribery, and manipulation — Moldova is marching firmly toward the EU, not the Kremlin.

Enough words. We need action. Now!
As EU foreign ministers meet in Denmark to discuss the “situation in the Middle East,” the genocide continues.
@amnestydk.bsky.social sent them a message they can't ignore: STOP ISRAEL’S GENOCIDE – EU, take action!

Famine has officially been declared in Gaza City. A devastating confirmation of what @amnesty.org and others have warned for months. This is a man-made catastrophe. This is the result of Israel's genocide.
The world’s failure to act is unforgivable

Gruppenvergewaltigungen, Entführungen, Tötungen: Die Liste der Verbrechen, welche die von Ruanda unterstützte bewaffnete Gruppe #M23 sowie andere Gruppierungen in der DR #Kongo begangen haben, ist lang. Zeit, die Verantwortlichen endlich zur Rechenschaft zu ziehen! www.amnesty.ch/de/laender/a...
Israels Übernahme von Gaza-Stadt und die drohende militärische Kontrolle des gesamten Küstenstreifens wird Hunger, Leid und Zerstörung vertiefen.

2 August – not just a day to remember the Roma Holocaust, but a call to confront ideologies, incl. today’s anti-Roma racism in Europe. As far-right rises, remembering Roma victims & Nazi criminals is a moral test for now. Anna Mirga-Kruszelnicka reflects: shorturl.at/xYlNF

Around 10 000 rallied in Bern for Gaza, denouncing Swiss govt inaction masked as “traditional neutrality” and demanding condemnation of Israel’s war crimes.

Israeli and Iranian authorities must abide by their obligations under international humanitarian law to protect civilians.
Further escalation of these hostilities could have dangerous and far-reaching consequences for civilians across the region.
I was born in a dictatorship.
These days, I’m reminded—more than I want—of truth’s high cost.
Truth is criminalized; truth-tellers demonized, hunted.
Power-drunk fear one thing: light they can’t manipulate.
All crew must be freed immediately, unconditionally.

Sex without consent is rape.
Always. No exceptions. No excuses. ❌
Let’s create a world where consent isn’t optional, it’s the standard — respected, upheld, and demanded by all. ✌️

Romania: 2025 elections restored order, but the crisis exposed deep democratic fragilities—distrust, disinfo and the limits of democracy in polarized contexts.
Not just a Romanian story, but a warning for all democracies under pressure.

The people of Gaza are living through unimaginable suffering—day after day—enduring the horrors of a genocide unfolding in full view of the world.
Urgency is not optional. Silence is complicity.

If war is possible, peace is inevitable.
Still moved by today’s talk with Amira Mohammed & Magen Inon—Palestinian and Israeli, united by loss and driven by peace.
Their voices are proof that dialogue can heal & connect.

How easy is it to make a dictator look “respectable”?
