🧵Authorities in #Europe must stop violating the rights to freedom of expression, peaceful assembly and to non-discrimination of people that wish to express solidarity with #Palestinians. The volume and frequency of bans and cancellations of public assemblies, meetings and cultural events across Europe critiquing the policies of the state of #Israel amounts to a ‘chilling effect’ on peaceful expressions of solidarity with Palestinians’ human rights.

The #EU has agreed on policy proposals on #MigrationEU and asylum, setting the agenda for years to come.

This agreement will lead to a surge in suffering for #asylumseekers, #Refugees and #migrants on every step of their journeys🧵

amnesty.org/en/latest/news… As we feared, the #EUMigrationPact agreed today looks set to:

· Weaken the rights of #asylumseekers, #refugees, and other migrants in the #EU
· Worsen existing legislation
· Fail to address urgent issues in European asylum and reception systems

Some thoughts 👇 on why this cannot and should not happen 🧵

nytimes.com/2022/02/02/wor… The extended fence would be built in an already highly militarized border, with abundant border guards patrolling (including via @Frontex), thermal cameras and even a sound cannon being reportedly used.

70+ organisations are calling for the charges against both to be dropped
