1/3 @PDimitras is under a criminal investigation connected to his human rights work in #Greece. In January, he was banned from travel & from continuing his human rights activities. The authorities should formally notify him of the status of these restrictions @GreeceInGeneva
2/3 Media reports also suggest that Panayote is being investigated by the anti-money laundering authority. Panayote himself has received no notification of any such investigation, frustrating his access to remedy. Leaks of such investigations are commonly used to smear #HRDs.
3/3 An appeal hearing in a separate case brought against Panayote & his colleague at the Greek Helsinki Monitor is set for 16 June. I will be following the outcome of the case, which is connected to the defenders' work against hate speech.

@India_NHRC Let me wish NHRC on its Foundation Day today. We fondly recall long relationship @peopleswatch @HRDA_India & #AiNNI have enjoyed right from 1995 onwards. Been a journey of accompaniment - very pleasant & cordial on occasions & extremely critical on others too. (1)
We genuinely wish #NHRC on this historically very imp day. Chairpersons & Members come & go in NHRC but #HRDs stay on forever & always engage wanting only one thing to happen - that the NHRC becomes more diverse, effective, transparent, accountable and also independent. (2)
NHRC is a founding member of @AsiaPacForum & @Ganhri1 that it has also chaired on occasions. No longer time after 29 yrs & entering its 30th yr to only celebrate the day. @MaryLawlorhrds @cvoule. Time to demonstrate to global community. @hrw @UNHumanRights @DrAliceJEdwards (3)
