Iran must free 2012 Sakharov laureate Nasrin Sotoudeh and halt imminent execution of Ahmadreza Djalali
Egypt must end crackdown on human rights defenders
On Thursday and Friday, the European Parliament adopted three resolutions taking stock of the human rights situation in China, Iran and Egypt.
Forced labour and the situation of the Uyghurs in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in China
Parliament strongly condemns the Chinese government-led system of forced labour – in particular the exploitation of Uyghur, ethnic Kazakh and Kyrgyz, and other Muslim minority groups – in factories within and outside internment camps in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. It also denounces the continued transfer of forced labourers to other Chinese administrative divisions, and the fact that well-known European brands and companies have been benefiting from forced Chinese labour.

In “Why America Must Lead Again” (Foreign Affairs, March/April 2020), President-elect Joe Biden promised to renew American leadership by returning to the source of American power its democratic traditions, commitments and partnerships.
The Biden-Harris foreign policy plan, “The Power of Our Example,” makes democracy the touchstone of American foreign policy. It’s truly vintage de Tocqueville: “Democracy is the root of our society, the wellspring of our power, and the source of our renewal,” the plan states. “It strengthens and amplifies our leadership to keep us safe in the world. It is the engine of our ingenuity that drives our economic prosperity. It is the heart of who we are and how we see the world and how the world sees us.”
