The #RegisterOfDamageForUkraine #RD4U [1][2] is an excellent initiative. While Palestine and Israel are not in the #CouncilOfEurope , CoE states are implicated; it would be good to also set up #RD4P [3] + #RD4I [4], so that Palestinians + Israelis can be compensated by a future mechanism too. The database for #RD4P will have to be bigger e.g. 60 Tb for #RD4P vs 1 Tb for #RD4I.

The Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly has voted to confirm that Julian Assange was held as a political prisoner.

It is nice to have something to celebrate in these times of relentless darkness...

The president of @IFJGlobal , Dominique Pradalie', just offered us champagne to celebrate the approval of the #CouncilOfEurope's resolution based on the #ThorildurSunna's
report on Julian #Assange!

‘I want to be totally clear, I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration because I plead guilty to journalism’ - Julian Assange, Council of Europe

@Blinxeto @therightarticle

What’s your point?

Yes they released him .. but only after 10+ years of political repression and (effectively) torture - including in #Belmarsh High Security prison ffs!

Suggest you read this by way of detailed background:

“[Council of Europe] Committee expresses deep concern at harsh treatment of Julian Assange, warns of its chilling effect for the press”

It is such a great news that next week, Oct.1, Julian #Assange will be in Strassbourg to address the #ParliamentaryAssembly of the #CouncilOfEurope
