The situation in Kakuma refugee camp in Kenya

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, Nairobi's desire to close the Kakuma and Dadaab refugee camps permanently can have disastrous consequences for more than 400 000 men, women and children who are hosted there. This eventuality rightly terrifies us, but we cannot wake up only when the situation risks exploding. The fields have been there for almost thirty years: Thirty years in wh…

The case of human rights defender Ahmed Mansoor in UAE

Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, four years in a four-square-metre prison, without human contact, with the exception of a few very brief visits. Four years without radio, without television, without even a book to escape, at least with thought, from that isolation cell; Not a bed, not a mattress, but just a blanket thrown to sleep. These are the medieval and unacceptable detent…

Direction of EU-Russia political relations (debate)

Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, there is a growing tension between what is today's Putin's Russia, a Russia obliged to increasingly authoritarian policies to maintain control, and the real country that instead seems increasingly ready to turn the page. Young Russians today observe their peers in the rest of Europe and fail to grasp the limitations they face, the crackdowns on civ…

Madam President, Mr High Representative, ladies and gentlemen, life in Beirut and throughout Lebanon has been reduced, for a population on its knees physically, mentally and emotionally, to a mere logic of survival.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, on 15 June, after six years of unjust imprisonment, Mustafa al-Darwish was killed without his family being informed. I can't imagine anything more cruel. Mustafa died alone and all my solidarity goes to him and his family.
