Greatly concerned by reports that the Election Resource Centre/Zimbabwe Election Support Network data centre was raided last night & staff detained.These orgs do vital human rights work monitoring if elections are free&fair. Attempts to intimidate them are very worrying.

Moldova's democracy stands strong, but political will alone is not enough to face external challenges, I emphasized at the @coe summit in Reykjavik.
With Russia remaining a source of instability for our region, Moldova must join the EU to safeguard and consolidate our democracy.
Looking forward to this discussion Thursday morning (DC time). Please join!

Courage, strength and fierce dedication to principle only begin to describe a man like @vkaramurza. His should be a household name in the pantheon of historic Russian political prisoners. #FreeKaraMurza
Jailed a year ago today, @washingtonpost journalist @VKaraMurza will never stop speaking the truth and speaking out for freedom and democracy in Russia. #FreeKaraMurza
