The attack on Okhmatdyt Hospital in Kyiv was not the first Russian atrocity in this war. Nor, surely, will it be the last. But we are determined to hold those responsible to account, for this and every other crime Russia has committed in Ukraine. More ⬇️ shorturl.at/RQe7r

The conviction of Virginia Laparra, former anti-corruption prosecutor, raises serious concerns about the application of justice and rule of law; the 🇬🇹 judicial authorities must stop intimidation of legal professionals fighting corruption and impunity.

Whether I have human rights in my job title or not, the passion that I have ignited as Britain’s global Ambassador for Human Rights will always stay with me. I will continue to champion human rights and equality, and amplify the voices of those who are denied their rights.
