Ministers vote to give police greater online monitoring powers - DutchNews.nl The new cabinet wants to give the police the powers to monitor people online, even if they are not suspected of planning to commit a crime. Ministers on Friday voted in favour of draft legislation which would allow them to keep a closer online eye on demonstrators and potential rioters, but which could have a knock-on effect on general population. The legislation, says justice minister David van Weel, would bring the police “into the 21st century” but experts warn it...

Outrageous, beyond belief and manifestly incompatible with the #ECHR, the EU #CFR and thus the Dutch Constitution: “The new [Dutch] cabinet wants to give the police the powers to monitor people online, even if they are not suspected of planning to commit a crime.”

When you claim about something stopping you doing what you want, and then use the very same to try to help you get your own way!

#ECHR hating party's plan to hide dodgy donations

Because people were so obsessed with blocking the #FreedomOfMovement for others they didn't realise it meant losing their own... same with #ECHR
Why do some people never learn?
#RejoinEU and #RestoreFOM

They'd best get straight down to the #ECHR, then. No, wait... 🤣🤣🤣

Sweden separated kids from parents over church attendance. Four years later, the court said that's fine. The European Court isn't ruling on whether the Samsons are dangerous; it's ratifying Sweden's authority to decide what counts as extreme.

Four angles. One story. More at gettheflies.com/sweden-separated-kids-fr...

Truth! 👇

#Labour are as corrupt as the #Tories were - likely because they're 'owned' by the same people.

But worryingly, we all MUST ask ourselves: WHY do Labour want to erade our human rights?

Both them & the #Tories want to change much of the #ECHR, whilst #Reform want to remove us completely.

Agreed. We in the #UK must take this as a warning too.

#Farage wants to replicate #America by introducing a #UK version of ICE.

We mustn't be naive in thinking this couldn’t happen here. Once #Reform remove us from the #ECHR, we'll have no rights & the govt can do whatever they want.

Green Alliance v. Bulgaria: Article 8 and the limits to spying on civil society - Strasbourg Observers By Dr. Radosveta Vassileva On 17 February 2026, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR or the Court) delivered its much-anticipated judgment in Green Alliance v Bulgaria (Application no 6580/22), w...

Happy to share my analysis of Green Alliance v Bulgaria, which addresses the limits of spying on civil society under Article 8 of the #ECHR, for the Strasbourg Observers. #RuleOfLaw #ChillingEffect

Joint statement on the application of the European Convention on Human Rights | EHRC As the National Human Rights Institutions for the United Kingdom, we each protect and promote human rights. That includes explaining how the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) benefits us and the risks to everybody in the UK if these freedoms and protections are weakened.

Interesting: The European Convention on Human Rights lets governments manage borders and maintain public safety whilst protecting us all, say the UK’s 3 national rights bodies👇

Rightwing narrative fuelling false belief UK public oppose net zero, study finds Reform, Tory and some media rhetoric runs contrary to poll showing far more voters for net zero than against it

Distorted media narratives influencing political elites and fuelling a false backlash?

Hmm. Sounds familiar.

#ECHR

A perfect opportunity to remind people that #Farage:

is #racist
is a liar
is a grifter
wants to kill our #NHS for expensive insurance based healthcare
will remove us from the #ECHR, so we'll have NO basic rights
wants to bring in UK #ICE thugs
is a #FarRight extremist

Have I missed anything?

#ECHR has become the final fortress for digital privacy. While EU legislators try to rebrand “Chat Control” as “risk mitigation,” the courts are looking at the fundamental math of #humanrights.

The simple message is: DON'T VOTE #Reform.

You can't afford to.

And when #Farage brings in #ICE thugs & removes us from the #ECHR, we'll have no rights & will not be able to do a thing about it.

#Farage: Removing Churchill from the £5 note is sheer wokery and cannot be allowed to happen.
Also Farage:
Removing the #UK from the #ECHR which Churchill helped set up must happen.
And people still think #Farage & #Reform #UK have the answers?
Headlines - thats all!

Pleased to welcome the heads of key institutions from the Netherlands: the Vice-President of the Council of State, the National Ombudsman & the President of the Court of Auditors. We exchanged on important human rights developments in the Netherlands & Europe, incl. challenges to the #ECHR system.

Important discussions with NHRIs & Ombudspersons this week. Discussed current #HumanRights challenges & the ongoing debate on the #ECHR system with IHREC Chief Commissioner, the Finnish Human Rights Centre Director, the Netherlands National Ombudsman and the Human Rights Ombudswoman of Slovenia.

I couldn’t care less about you taking me off a banknote but I’m furious about you proposing to remove the UK from the #ECHR: the achievement of which I am most proud.

At a time when democracy is under pressure, when some governments seek to silence dissent, weaken trade unions, and scapegoat migrants and other minorities, the European Convention on Human Rights #ECHR has never been more vital @etuc-ces.bsky.social @echr.coe.int www.etuc.org/en/document/...
