#Ελλάδα: The European Court for Human Rights @ECHR_CEDH ruled against Greece for the deadly 2014 shipwreck off the coast of #Φαρμακονήσι which cost the lives of 11 refugees including 8 children. Greece is ordered to pay damages to all 16 survivors. #ΗumanRights #RefugeesGr
Great news! Hopefully, this mechanism will be frequently used. EU funds must and should be withheld from Greece if we violate the rule of law – especially when it comes to human rights, refugee rights, children rights, media freedom, and suppressing justice.
When you call for a law to be implemented, look at who objects to them. Facism was part of our past in Europe. Our generation says no more. I hope ECJ’s conditionality mechanism is invoked for every country that does not uphold the law or seeks to suppress justice.
Διαβάζουμε πρώτα το άρθρο και μετά σχολιάζουμε. Δικάστηκε σήμερα με την αυτόφωρη διαδικασία ΜΟΝΟ για τα ευρήματα που βρέθηκαν στον σύνδεσμο οπαδών, διότι στην κατοχή του βρέθηκαν τα κλειδιά. Για αυτό σχηματίστηκε 2η δικογραφία εις βάρος του, εκτός απ' αυτή που αφορά τη #δολοφονία

Belgian privacy watchdog finds ad lobby IAB Europe's *Transparency & Consent framework* violates GDPR.
IAB Europe had previously insisted that the decision found that only they, and not *framework* violated the rules.

Yesterday, my signature and 213.431 others reached the @EU_Commission and @VeraJourova’s office. We must establish #EU-wide laws to end #SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) – ή αλλιώς, στρατηγικές αγωγές κατά της δημόσιας συμμετοχής. #Ελλάδα
No one should be afraid of stating their views and sharing information that matters to all of us. Abusive litigation against EU journalists & rights defenders who speak up in the public interest can and must stop. Thank you @CASECoalition for mobilizing support to #stopSLAPPs 1/2
The Hellenic Broadcasting Corporation (Ελληνική Ραδιοφωνία Τηλεόραση – #ΕΡΤ) aired a political debate for the leadership of the political party ΚΙΝΑΛ and chose to exclude #deaf and hard of hearing viewers by not providing #SignLanguage interpretation. #Accessibility #Greece
This isn’t the first time that the state-owned television broadcaster #ΕΡΤ demonstrated exclusionary practices against the deaf and hard of hearing community. The Hellenic Federation of the Deaf (ΟΜΚΕ) @omkegr issued a statement on this (in Greek). #Greece omke.gr/anakoinwseis/dt-gia-…
Greek authorities have long denied abuse claims made by asylum seekers, #refugees, #HumanRights groups, and NGOs – labelling them as “Turkish state propaganda”. However, in September, an EU employee was racially profiled, detained and expelled to Turkey.

By “pushing back” the EU employee to the country they assumed he arrived from, #Greece proved one instance where a claim was not individually examined – as is required by international and European law. If due process was followed, they would have realised their mistake.
