defenders have a right to travel to the πŸ‡ͺπŸ‡Ί - but often they can't bc of overly restrictive visa policies.

I support the call of 50 int. civil society organizations, i.a. @ProtectHRD_EU+@amnesty to make it easier for to obtain EU Visas.

Today, I met recipients of the @FrontLineHRD Awards for Defenders at risk.

Special congratulations to Liah Ghazanfar Jawad (Afghanistan) who was absent: She was denied a Schengen Visa. Such visas are more and more often denied to - I'm working to change that.

Many of us lost friends last year who were killed only
because they chose to protect human rights.

But being harassed, kidnapped, tortured, killed for defending human rights is not normal.

It is not "part of the job".
And that is the line we need to hold.
