Anti-Semitism in Europe has become impossible to ignore. Govts should strengthen criminal justice response, address prejudice & speak out against anti-Semitic discourse. Read my new dispatch for more

The Alarming Rise of Anti-Semitism in Europe

Since hate crimes are generally underreported in the EU, the real figures on anti-Semitism in these and other EU states are likely to be much higher.

For 14-year-old Ibrahim from Somalia, detained in #Greece for almost 3 months, life has finally taken a positive turn. But for 100s of lone kids still behind bars life is stalled. Tell @PrimeMinisterGR to #FreeTheKids into safe & child-friendly housing!

Once again, countless tents with refugees sleeping in dire conditions, in and outside Moria. Severe overcrowding, unsafe & unhygienic conditions are the stories we heard today again and again. This needs to stop. #OpenTheIslands

276: That's the number of unaccompanied migrant kids behind bars in #Greece . That's called protective custody; but kids can never be protected behind bars. @hrw calls on @PrimeMinisterGR to do the right thing: #FreeTheKids !

Last week #Greece made it a criminal offense to spread “fake news”. The criminal sanctions risk making journalists and virtually anyone else afraid to report on or to debate important issues. The government shld immediately move to revoke the provision

The tent of this lovely Afghan family was totally burned during last night’s fire at #Moria ! 1000s trapped on Greece’s islands are at risk. It’s high time @PrimeministerGR acts to #OpenTheIslands

After #Moria fires in Sept #Greek gov moved 7.5K ppl to camp built on top of firing range. No soil testing was conducted prior to moving ppl there: shocking decision as firing ranges are known as commonly contaminated with lead. Check new @hrw 's report:
