There are so many debates about US or European colonialism and imperialism. Russians love to push this discussion. But it's usually forgotten that Russian Federation is not a country. It’s a colonial empire that oppresses indigenous cultures.

13 nationalities have disappeared from the ethnographic map of Russia. Many processes that led to the reduction of the population, and then the disappearance of some nationalities, were launched during the heyday of the Russian Empire.

#OnThisDay in 1953, the European Convention on Human Rights entered into force. All 46 Council of Europe member states have signed up to the #ECHR, an international treaty to protect people’s #HumanRights and basic freedoms. #CouncilOfEurope #Democracy #RuleOfLaw

At least 33 people will be tried this week in #Belarus for participating in the 2020 protests against the criminal regime. Meanwhile, detentions continue & repression shows no sign of slowing down. We must continue to fight for the life & freedom of every political prisoner.

Belarusians have repeatedly shown that they do not support Putin & Lukashenka’s war against #Ukraine. It’s not the people of #Belarus who back this aggression—it’s the unlawful regime. A free Belarus will be a powerful ally to 🇺🇦 & the strongest possible sanction against Putin.

🇺🇦 Ukraine cannot defeat an enemy intent on its total destruction with its hands tied behind its back. #LetUkraineStrikeBack

"Ceasefire now" being projected onto Big Ben. Don't RT it sends them completely rabid.

Russian missiles against our cities and people. The strike on Lviv killed 5 people, including a 14-year-old girl. My condolences go out to the families and loved ones of the victims. More than 30 people were injured. Ordinary residential buildings, schools, and medical facilities

LET. UKRAINE. STRIKE. BACK!

Ukraine's independence is the achievement of everyone who fights for it, defends our state, and who gave their lives so that Ukraine lives. Eternal and bright memory to all Ukrainian heroes! Eternal gratitude for preserving Ukraine. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

What does that remind me of? Oh, right ... Brexit 2.0 Don't fall for it again.

The way the ECHR is applied may at times irritate and as in all human affairs no court will always be perfect in its reasoning and decisions. But the ECHR has done immense good throughout Europe. Precisely because it is a " living instrument", it has been able to promote human

'There's something particularly nasty about this piece of Jenrick propaganda.' Dominic Grieve tells James O'Brien what he thinks of Robert Jenrick's Tory leadership film, which faced backlash for claiming British special forces are 'killing rather than capturing terrorists'.

Every 30th Belarusian is now living in exile, with over 300,000 forced to flee since 2020. Even abroad, Belarusians continue to face the regime's persecution and intimidation. The international community must now stand together to bring justice for all victims of the regime.

"That's the rule of law in this country. That we don't compromise someone's fair trial." 👏👏👏
