In a bid for ‘neutrality’, the IOC said Ukrainian skeleton racer Vladyslav Heraskevych’s helmet violated Rule 50, which bans political protest on Olympic sites But punishing remembrance is not neutrality. It's time to reform Rule 50 and protect free expression in line with international law.

Our analysis of Poland’s draft anti-SLAPP law is out. 🇵🇱 It includes vital mechanisms. But vague wording could make these protections ineffective in practice. To truly shield those exposing abuse of power, the law must be stronger and decriminalise defamation.  www.article19.org/resources/po...

Poland: Anti-SLAPP draft law is a positive step but key improvements essential - ARTICLE 19

#Belarus The regime has shown political prisoner Viktar Babaryka for the first time in 1.5 years. During this time, his family didn't know whether he was alive. He was photographed writing a letter to his family. It’s such a relief to see these photos of him.
