This treatment is in stark contrast to the benevolence with which people fleeing the war in Ukraine have been received in the EU. This raises serious concerns about institutional racism embedded within Lithuania’s migration system 👇

Refugees and migrants have been held for months on end in prison-like centres in Lithuania, where they are denied access to fair asylum procedures and subjected to serious human rights violations in the hope that they will ‘voluntarily’ return to the countries they fled from.

We stand with the family and friends of those who were killed, injured and everyone who has been affected in Oslo. We should all be able to feel safe, no matter who we are and who we love.

Vi står sammen med familie og venner av de som ble drept, skadet og alle som føler på frykt nå.
Dette er enda en grunn til at vi aldri må slutte å kjempe for lhbt+ personers rettigheter. Vi skal kunne føle på trygghet, uansett hvem vi er og hvem vi elsker.

Let’s be clear on the facts now that #RoeVsWade has been overturned:
�� It is deeply racist, sexist & classist.
�� People will be forced to give birth.
�� People will be forced to seek unsafe abortions.

This racist, draconian and shameful decision will force women, girls and people who can become pregnant to seek unsafe abortions.

People will be forced to give birth. They’ll be forced to seek unsafe abortions. This is the outcome of a decades-long campaign to control the bodies of women, girls, and people who can become pregnant.

It is worth repeating: By overturning Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court will not stop abortions. It is forcing them again to the back alleys. It is permitting the "lawful" killing of women, girls, and other persons, particularly racialised, poorest, most vulnerable.

The flawed military trial of 14 low-ranking security officers will not bring about justice. There needs to be a civilian trial following international standards, not just a smokescreen to protect those higher up.
