#Cypriot authorities must take immediate action to ensure the safety of people at sea by providing for their prompt rescue and disembarkation in a place of safety, and refrain from any actions that could result in their refoulement, including their return to Syria.

We are alarmed about reports of the dangerous conditions aboard two boats heading to #Cyprus , carrying dozens of people, including children, at sea for days, several of those on board are sick, and they have now run out of food, water, and fuel.

More than 80 athletes worldwide have signed an open letter this #IWD2024 to ensure that everyone can play sports free of discrimination. Because the hijab ban prevents this from happening in France amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

No Muslim woman or girl should have to choose between religion & the sport they love. This #InternationalWomensDay we join @BBallPourToutes @athleteally and Sport & Rights Alliance to urge Fédération Française de BasketBall FIBA to overturn their religious headgear ban in #France

Οι ελληνικές αρχές πρέπει τώρα όχι μόνο να λάβουν μέτρα για να διασφαλίσουν την ταχεία και αποτελεσματική εφαρμογή της νέας νομοθεσίας, αλλά και να εισαγάγουν περαιτέρω νομοθετικές αλλαγές ώστε να κατοχυρωθεί η πλήρης ισότητα για τις ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ οικογένειες και τα ΛΟΑΤΚΙ+ άτομα.
