In Geneva 🇨🇭, Latvian human rights expert Dr. Elīna Šteinerte was re-elected to the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture under the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture, for a term from 2027 to 2030.
Latvia's 🇱🇻 representative will continue the work begun, providing expertise and contribution to addressing human rights issues, their monitoring, and the development of international standards in the prevention of torture.

“At first, the party received a whistleblower report and forced Eņģelis to leave the party and relinquish the mandate, but it knew nothing, while at the same time respecting the young woman’s unwillingness to take further action.” I have never read anything more believable in my life.

Kurwa, Kleinbergs was almost whimpering from the rostrum, wishing Eņģelis a speedy recovery and return to work, and also said some high-flown farewell words.
I say they are not only mentally ill but also max dangerous to society.
@DavisVilums What neutrality? He's one of their own, after all. Surely they won't leave the man without a job and will take him back and later promote him to @lsmlv editor. https://t.co/kOISeBUU1H
One can measure the time since the news about Dalbiņš came out and reached LSM's front page and compare it with whether the news about the former Pro member will make LSM's front page at all, and draw conclusions about the public broadcaster's neutrality.

I have a question. PRO now says how they reacted to Eņģelis's conduct, excluded him from the party and contacted the police. How is it that one of their leading politicians, Liene Gātere, said on X that she only found out about it today? So who is lying?
I have updated the story with screenshots about polling station 11, i.e. RSU, and with new information, because votes are also disappearing at station 50 and station 139. Moreover, a record about the person who allegedly changed their vote/opinion has also disappeared. Now it is visible that no one has actually changed their vote... What can we conclude from all this? The electoral system, for which we have overpaid many times, works very badly, and there is no clarity about what is happening there. 'Glory' to Unity, especially to Kampars. 🤮
In the new, expensive election systems, data integrity checks do not seem to have been implemented, which is an elementary standard in elections. It looks like any data can be entered into the systems, whatever one wants. Nothing like that was possible in previous systems. https://t.co/XDGFz0rRlI
In my opinion, a good decision, but I hope that this time there is sufficiently large involvement of the local Latvian industry in this project. The previous contract did not have that. https://t.co/cSPdUSsYoP
🚨 Excellent news from the U.S. on sanctions evasion by Russia. A7 network was designed to overcome Russia's exclusion from the Western financial system. It will not work. https://t.co/rZpv2My6Hi
“They address it.” Today? Oh, why didn't they address it in time? Why hide the crime? Why weepy dreams about burnout? Shocked by colleagues who uncritically circulate obvious “Progressives” PR nightmares. In my opinion, this story is only in its early stages. https://t.co/PHUR5sj3DO
Violence loves silence. It seems fitting that the most self-righteous and loudest “defenders” of principles, rights, values, and truths – the Progressives – are the ones who kept quiet and covered up an abuser in their own ranks. They quietly asked him to resign his mandate because he “burned out.” They did not go to the police because “the victim didn’t want to.” And something else, something about the United List as well. Even the Angel (how ironic) himself is explaining an “unethical,” “unprofessional” “incident,” but everything is fine because he is “going to therapy.” How convenient. And how despicable. You have lost all shame, discredited yourselves, and undermined people’s rational perception of everything you have self-righteously and sanctimoniously raged about in recent years – both good and bad.
