Thank you, farewell & au revoir!
As I conclude my work at the @ICRC’s Directorate & wind down for a long awaited sabbatical, I am deeply grateful:
➡️for my extraordinary journey with the #RedCross
➡️for the inspiring companionship of our colleagues
➡️and for unforgettable
URGENT @DutchMFA:
➡️This is one of the most disgusting scenes of #PoliceBrutality I have seen since #GeorgeFloyd!
➡️These officers & their superiors must be prosecuted for the crime of #torture!
➡️THIS SAVAGERY MUST STOP HERE & NOW!
➡️I will send an official protest note shortly!
Call for evidence:
In preparation for my official visit in 2022 to #Netherlands, #Poland & #France focusing on #PoliceViolence, I invite victims, witnesses & NGO to submit verifiable evidence (Eng/Fre) on this & other incidents:
➡️[email protected] (confidentiality assured)
#Assange’s stroke is no surprise.
As we warned after examining him, unless relieved of the constant pressure of isolation, arbitrariness & persecution, his health would enter a downward spiral endangering his life.
#UK is literally torturing him to death.
Today one year ago we visited #Assange in prison.
He showed clear signs of prolonged psychological #Torture.
First I was shocked that mature democracies could produce such an accident.
Then I found out it was no accident.
Now, I am scared to find out about our democracies...
This has just been brought to my attention.
Can anyone provide my office with the specifics / witness statements of this incident and whether an official investigation has been launched?
Send to: [email protected]

Thank you!
Danke @welt für dieses Interview zum Abschluss meiner Untersuchung von #Polizeigewalt in #Deutschland.
➡️Weltweit gilt: Wenn ein Land praktisch keine Sanktionen für Polizeigewalt verhängt, ist das kein Zeichen von Wohlverhalten, sondern von Systemversagen.

How public humiliation works: On 11 April #JulianAssange was mocked for his beard throughout the world. During my visit, he explained to us that his shaving kit had been deliberately taken away three months earlier.

Today’s collapse of Sweden’s #Assange investigation was inevitable. Given its gross arbitrariness, there must now be a full investigation, and accountability & compensation for the harm inflicted on #JulianAssange
#Assange: My follow-up letter of 12 Sept asking #Sweden to explain, point by point, the #HumanRights compliance of 50 perceived due process violations, to conduct a prompt & impartial investigation and reiterating my unanswered queries of 28 May. Link: bit.ly/2NXUAEN
Dieses Video wurde meinem Büro soeben zur Kenntnis gebracht. Ich bitte die Betroffenen sowie direkte Augenzeugen, sich für eine sachdienliche Abklärung zu melden ([email protected]).

How far have we sunk...
- when we prosecute people for exposing war crimes?
- when we no longer prosecute war criminals because we identify more with them than with their victims & exposers?
- when telling the truth becomes a crime?
What does this say about us & our governments?
Whatever you may have been made to believe:
The #Assange case is about YOUR future, YOUR life & YOUR right to know what YOUR government is doing with the power & taxes YOU give to them.
I do NOT want to leave to my children a world where it has become a CRIME to tell the TRUTH.
Update:⬇️
I have now officially raised my concerns on #PoliceBrutality in writing with @DutchMFA.
I thank @NLinGeneva for our constructive meeting & the renewed invitation to officially visit the #Netherlands in 2022.
My letter & any Govt response will be published after 60 days.
«Fragwürdige Methoden»?
➡️Erst lanciert @SZ eine bizarre Schmierkampagne gegen die Integrität meiner Mandatsführung
➡️Dann steckt sie plötzlich den Kopf in den Sand & verweigert die Veröffentlichung einer Replik
➡️Seriöser Journalismus sieht anders aus
Hier also meine Replik:
