Instead of waiting for war to unite us, let’s create a #EuropeanDefenceUnion to finally unite our efforts to prevent war. Instead of waiting for #Trump's mood of the day, let’s strengthen the #European defence industry, close capability gaps and support the Eastern flank.

When we talk about the #Iran #US #Israel war & geopolitics, we must also talk about Iran’s political prisoners, brutal repression & digital blackout. 🇪🇺's values are tested in moments like this: We can’t let #HumanRights disappear in negotiations with the Iranian regime #Azadi

The #Commission invites the #Taliban for deportation talks in Brussels. As long as the Taliban violate #HumanRights, impose #GenderApartheid and fuel #extremism, there should be no meetings with them in #Europe.

#IRGC is on the EU terror list. Yet, its networks are still up and running in some member states. We need to completely drain the IRGC's money, influence and reach inside #Europe. Asking @kajakallas.bsky.social about the next steps in @europarl.europa.eu plenary.

🇪🇺 Mitgliedstaaten wollen #Spyware wegen Bedenken nationaler #Sicherheit selbst regulieren. Und sind gleichzeitig diejenigen, die sie missbrauchen. Daran hat sich auch ein Jahr nach dem #Paragon Skandal nichts geändert. Mehr dazu im ARD Europamagazin: www.ardmediathek.de/video/europa...

Blackmail cannot be the new world order. In the Strait of Hormuz – and in #Iran itself – the Islamic regime rules through fear, pressure, and repression. 🇪🇺 must be clear: No sanctions relief while human rights are violated. Freedom is not negotiable. #BarayeAzadi

We demand #NasrinSotoudeh’s immediate release. No deal unless the Iranian regime opens the internet, #StopExecutionsInIran and releases all #politicalprisoners!

It's our responsibility to make the demands of the people of #Iran heard at negotiations between the #US and the Iranian regime: Release political prisoners, stop executions, open internet, stop repression. More at Al Jazeera Arabic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf2p...

Why should we trust those who created this mess to fix it? #EU and #GCC should initiate a Middle East conference thinking about ways ahead based on international law, proper international relations and the rights of the Iranian people.

The strategy behind the #US #Iran war remains unclear - if there is one at all. Meanwhile repression in Iran intensifies and the escalation threatens as whole region. More at Al Jazeera Arabic: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf2p...

In current #Iran #USA negotiations, not a single item is about the people of #Iran - it is clear that #EU needs to address #StopExecutions end to #DigitalBlackoutIran and right of Iranians to decide how they want to be governed and by whom

My message to Iranian officials who still support the regime is quite clear: Defect. Choose #Iran over ideology. So Iranians can finally decide how they want to be governed and by whom, in a #FreeIran More in my interview @rudawenglish.bsky.social rudaw.net/english/interv…

While the world is watching missiles and memes, the Iranian regime is killing in the dark. And it is our responsibility to keep shining light on it. #StopExecutionsInIran #DigitalBlackout ‎ #ایران #قطعی_اینترنت_ایران #اعدام_نکنید

Today, families across #Iran, #Afghanistan, #Kurdish communities in #Iraq and #Syria, and many other places celebrate the new year. And each community has its own traditions. 1/7

Warum ein Einsatz in der Straße von #Hormus gerade nicht sinnvoll ist und weitere geopolitische Auswirkungen der Lage in #Nahost bei Deutschlandfunk “Zur Diskussion” moderiert von @froesin.bsky.social: www.deutschlandfunk.de/nahost-zieht...

The European Commission is looking into ways to help Iranians circumvent the internet blockage by the regime. @kajakallas.bsky.social will provide more information soon. #Iran #DigitalBlackoutIran

Some concrete steps how 🇪🇺 can help Iranians at the moment: ◾️raise awareness of pol. prisoners at risk of execution ◾️circumvent internet shutdown ◾️prolong visas of Iranians in EU ◾️offer humanitarian visas ◾️support for democratic transition More @france24.com: www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/...

Everyone says #Europe needs to become more independent in #security. There are many suggestions on how to do that on European level — the Member States only need to walk the talk:

The people in #Iran are ready for a democratic change. And we should do our best to support them in their efforts. More at Deutsche Welle: www.dw.com/en/eu-lawmak...

The people of Iran did not choose this war. The regime did. Yet millions are trapped between missiles from above and repression from within. In the European Parliament I spoke for those who deserve what every people deserves: Freedom. #Iran #IranProtests #Azadi

In the shadow of war, the danger for political prisoners does not disappear. It grows. Prisons in #Iran are full of protestors - from Nobel Peace Prize laureates, to tens of thousands whose names we may never know. The world needs to pay attention to their fate.

Wie geht es aktuell den Menschen in #Iran? Und was passiert gerade mit den politischen Gefangenen? Mehr dazu im Interview bei Phoenix: www.ardmediathek.de/video/phoeni...

Transnational Repression is a threat to #humanrights, European #sovereignty and #security. Our response frameworks are inadequate. That’s what we want to change with our report in @europarl.europa.eu Committee on Foreign Affairs to #StopTransnationalRepression

The #Taliban have introduced a new Criminal Code. Women are no longer equal before the law in #Afghanistan. This is the legal system of #GenderApartheid.

Iranians rose for freedom, not for deals. After brutal repression & prisons filled with protesters, 🇪🇺 task is clear: implement the #IRGC terror listing, freeze assets, dismantle networks, #StopTrananationalRepression & stand with #Iran’s people in all their diversity. #BarayeAzadi

Brutal attacks in the Northeast are a painful reminder of #Syria 's darkest chapters. Responsibility to end this violence lies w/ all sides. If #AlSharaa wants to lead, he has to be president for ALL Syrians. 🇪🇺should support so Syria finally has a chance to heal its wounds.

Carine Kanimba shares her experience with Transnational Repression by Rwanda. She was spied upon with #Pegasus while working in 🇪🇺. Let’s #StopTransnationalRepression so lawyers & political activists like her can go from nowhere safe to now here safe. Follow me for more info on how to do that.

#IRGC steht endlich auf der EU Terrorliste. So kann 🇪🇺Iraner*innnen weiter unterstützen: ▪️ Infos teilen, um pol. Druck aufs Regime zu erhöhen ▪️ Humanitäre Visa ▪️Iranische Diplomaten wegen #TransnationaleRepression ausweisen Mehr @zdfde.bsky.social: www.zdfheute.de/video/zdfheu...

After so many years of demanding, pressuring, fighting, finally, they all joined our call to list #IRGC as a terrorist organisation. But why did so many people have to die before we got there? My thoughts are with the victims of IRGC. My hopes are for a free #Iran.

The #IRGC belongs on the #EU terrorist list. And I hope the EU Member States will finally recognise this at the Foreign Affairs Council today. My comment at BBC News:

Am Donnerstag ist die nächste Sitzung des Rates für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten, bei dem #EU Mitgliedstaaten die Chance haben, die #IRGC endlich auf die EU Terrorliste zu setzen. #Italien hat seine Blockadehaltung endlich aufgeben, #Frankreich & #Spanien müssen jetzt folgen.

We're witnessing a systematic destruction of lives in #Iran. The regime violently erases an entire generation of young people. My thoughts are w/ the people in Iran & everyone who lost a loved one. My statement for the EP's Delegation for Relations w/ the People of Iran:

#Europe now needs to send a clear message to Tehran: Release the prisoners. #StopExecutions. We will keep shining light where you seek darkness. This regime will fall. Let's all help it fall fast. #Iran #AllEyesOnIran #BarayeAzadi

Transnational Repression is a global phenomenon. Authoritarian governments continue to target critics – and even ordinary citizens – across borders. Even in Europe, they are not safe. That’s why we have to #StopTransnationalRepression. Follow me for more info on how to do that.

There is a #ceasefire in #Gaza on paper. But for #Palestinians, little has changed. Meanwhile, violence by #Israel i military & settlers is escalating in the #WestBank — with complete impunity. The actions of the Israeli government require consequences, not just criticism.

#Syria is not safe. Returns can only be voluntary, not forced. There is barely any infrastructure for people to return to. That's why all #MemberStates should allow #GoAndSeeVisits for Syrians to make an informed decision. (5/6)

Wir haben gesehen: Wenn #Deutschland klare Worte findet, hört #Netanyahu zu. Ich erwarte von #Merz auf seiner Reise nach #Israel, dass er den Menschen in Israel unsere aufrichtige Solidarität zusichert. Und gleichzeitig diese rechts-nationalistische Regierung klar kritisiert.

The Iranian regime is escalating its repression of Bahá’ís and other #minorities. This brutality isn’t a display of strength — but of fear. #Europe must step up pressure now, and stand firmly with the persecuted Bahá’í community in #Iran.

The #28PointPlan is not a #Peace Plan — it’s a call for capitulation. Trump seems ready to sacrifice Ukraine’s security — and Europe’s — for it. Strategic autonomy isn’t built in speeches but in daily decisions. And #EDIP should only be the first of many.
