For the fifth year, we mark the Day of Political Prisoners in Belarus. While some have been freed, 848 people remain unjustly imprisoned for speaking freely, defending human rights, and believing in a democratic future. Since 2020, nine political prisoners have died behind bars due to torture and inhuman conditions. Behind every political prisoner is a family waiting, hoping, and enduring unimaginable pain. We stand in solidarity with all those unjustly detained and call for their immediate and unconditional release and rehabilitation. Accountability, targeted sanctions, and sustained international pressure are urgently needed. They must not be forgotten.

Good to meet Ambassador Harris @DKambCanada and get an update on the Canadian developments and exchange on international affairs while in Ottawa for the #OttawaCivicSpaceSummit

The Moldovan people have spoken. Sunday’s election results are clear: the Moldovans are united in our desire for peace, democracy, and Europe — and in the courage to defend them. This is not just a party’s victory — it is Moldova’s victory. The European path is our way forward.

Today, on the International Day of Democracy, the Council of Europe launches the website of the New Democratic Pact for Europe. A Pact for stronger democratic foundations and more tangible results for all. Explore: go.coe.int/9zPqf #NewDemocraticPact
