People in #Iran aren't merely protesting over lost purchasing power, but because their dignity has been stripped away. Yet the Islamic Regime believes it can replace freedom with $7 a month. But breadcrumbs & batons do not create legitimacy!

For 8 days people in #Iran are protesting because daily life has become impossible. Protests & students strikes have continued across more than 78 cities. Despite intimidation, violence & death! people keep showing up. It's not about a moment. It's about a breaking point. 1/5

Autocratic regimes know that silencing journalists is key to shutting down dissent - within their country and beyond. That’s why we have to #StopTransnationalRepression. Follow me for more info on how to do that.

#Venezuela: Maduro weint hier niemand eine Träne nach. Aber irgendwer muss diesen Wahnsinn aus dem Weißen Haus stoppen. Das kann nur ein starkes #Europa leisten, als Magnet für alle, die die internationale Ordnung erhalten wollen. (1/2)

Yes, a democratic transition in Venezuela is urgently needed. BUT: Violent air strikes to enforce regime change destroy a rules based world order. They do not offer a lasting path to peace or democracy. But bring more violence. The EU has to clearly react and stand up to defend international law.

Autocratic regimes are cooperating to increase their repression across borders. So we need to cooperate to #StopTransnationalRepression in Europe. Follow me for more info on how to do that.

2026 begins in #Iran with an open question: How long can the Islamic Regime govern against its own people? Since 5 days, protests return to the streets. Traders close their shops. Students gather on campuses. Because prizes are rising and so is repression. 1/5

Laws should be made to protect people. But some autocratic regimes weaponise them to silent dissent. Sometimes in more obvious ways, sometimes through loopholes. That’s why we have to #StopTransnationalRepression. Follow me for more info on how to do that.

Update #EP: Following the mass arrests at a memorial in #Mashhad, including #NargesMohammadi, we’ve issued a public statement from the Delegation for the people of Iran condemning this escalation & calling for immediate release. Read the statement here 👇

#Iran tightens marriage law, gutting women’s last legal safeguard while blocking protection from domestic violence. This is not reform, but show of power. In times of crisis Iranian Regime disciplines society through women. ➡️ #GenderApartheid as state policy.

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.

In #Iran, mourning is a crime. Human rights defenders, including Nobel laureate #NargesMohammadi, were arrested at a memorial for the late lawyer #KhosrowAlikordi. Iranian regime is so afraid of the truth, that it criminalises grief. 1/5

Discussing how to #StopTransnationalRepression in the EU together with experts Ellis Matthews from @eudiplomacy.bsky.social, Philippe Dam from @hrw.org and Claire Ivers from Front Line Defenders and MEP Cloé Ridel. Watch the full exchange in DROI: multimedia.europarl.europa.eu/en/webstream...

A free #internet remains the only barrier against propaganda & intimidation. As the EP's Delegation for Relations with the People of #Iran, we urge major tech companies to strengthen support for secure, uncensored internet access in Iran. 1/5

➡️Step 1: #Taliban say only women may work with Afghan women & girls. ➡️Step 2: Taliban block female #UN staff from entering UN offices. ➡️Step 3: Guess what? #UN can’t deliver aid since people who deliver are shut out. ➡️Step 4: This is Gender Apartheid in practice. 1/4

One year ago today marked the end of the brutal #Assad dictatorship in #Syria. A moment that sparked tremendous hope for Syrians everywhere, and for those standing with them. Today, I want to congratulate them on the first anniversary of Syria's #LiberationDay. (1/6)

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.

Oligarchen verhandeln mit Oligarchen - auf Kosten von Europäer*innen. #Trump fordert die #Ukraine quasi zur Kapitulation auf. #Europa muss zusammen finden, um klar zu machen: Das ist unser Kontinent, den teilt ihr nicht unter euch auf. Mehr bei Deutschlandfunk: www.deutschlandfunk.de/zur-ukraine-...

@hneumannmep.bsky.social im @deutschlandfunk.de.web.brid.gy über die "Russifizierung der amerikanischen Verhandlungen". Sehr hörenswert! #Ukraine #Trump #Europa #GrüneMV www.deutschlandfunk.de/zur-ukraine-...

Two horrific crimes in #US, both rightly prosecuted, being now weaponised by #Trump to cast all #Afghan evacuees as a security threat. That’s not leadership. It’s fearmongering against people who fled the very terror he now turns into a political tool. 1/5

Auch an der polnischen #Ostseeküste von #Usedom und #Wolin wächst der Widerstand gegen die neuen Pläne für das #Containerterminal. Die Gemeinden #Świnoujście & #Międzyzdroje fühlen sich übergangen, stellen die Sinnhaftigkeit des Projekts in Frage und sorgen sich um #Natur & #Tourismus 👉

Auf unserem Parteitag haben wir @gruene.de uns klar zum #Nahostkonflikt positioniert. Für das #Existenzrecht Israels, für das #Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Palästinenser*innen, für das #Völkerrecht. Das haben wir im Detail beschlossen. (1/15)

#Iran sentenced #JafarPanahi to 1year in prison + 2year travel ban. #NargesMohammadi gets permanent travel ban. Cutting her off from her children. Two stories, one strategy: Tehran weaponises mobility to crush dissent. Always same message: Speak up, lose your freedom to move.

#Nahost Beschluss: Der grüne Parteitag stellt klare Forderungen auf - u.a. soll Deutschland der Initiative von Saudi Arabien & Frankreich folgen und #Palästina anerkennen. Mehr: antraege.gruene.de/51bdk/fur-fr... #BDK25

Wir haben gestern auf unserem Parteitag die Anerkennung Palästinas als einen vordringlichen Schritt beschlossen. Überfällig und richtig! Wer eine Zwei-Staaten-Lösung will, muss sie politisch vorbereiten und die Grundlage für faire Verhandlungen schaffen.

Für das Existenzrecht #Israel s Für das Selbstbestimmungsrecht der Palästinenser Für das Völkerrecht All das gleichermaßen und deswegen auch für die #Anerkennung #Palästina Klare Botschaft der #bdk25 zur Grünen Nahostpolitik: audimax.de/politik/fur-ei…

Eine künstliche Halbinsel im #Natura2000-Schutzgebiet, eine tiefere Fahrrinne und Pläne für Gasförderung vor Usedom: Die neuen Industrialisierungsvorhaben an der rund um #Swinemünde sorgen für wachsende Sorgen in der Grenzregion – und veranlassen mich erneut, die #EU-Kommission einzuschalten 👉

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.

Today #Australia did what many long knew was necessary: Listing #IRGC as state sponsor of terrorism. How much more must #Europe see to catch up? Failing to call #IRGC as what it is, gives green light to the Iranian Regime’s long arm of #TransnationalRepression.

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.

Again dual national pulled into Iranian regime’s machinery of coercion. #AfarinMohajer 70yr old Iranian-American, vanished into #Evin. Tehran’s message is crude & calculated. 👉When #US sanctions bite or #IAEA turns up heat, #Mullahs reach out for hostages

If you want peace, prepare for #war with the #patriarchy. Unfortunately, this still holds true 25 years after the #Women, #Peace and #Security Agenda. Read my full evaluation in my policy brief for WIIS: wiisglobal.org/wp-content/u...

#USTreasury uncovered global network fueling Iran’s missile & UAV programs. Including companies from China, UAE, Turkey & Germany’s #EVAHandelsgesellschaft. It’s not just about weapons. It’s about abusing global supply chains to bypass sanctions. 1/2

Freedom is worth fighting for. Talking to Roya Mahboob and Hesam Misaghi today about the future of #freedom has reminded me how important it is that young people grow up with an idea of what freedom feels like what it feels like to live freely, and why it’s worth standing up for. (1/4)
