Parliament adopted five resolutions on human rights and international crises, condemning repression in Iran, Algeria, and the DRC, and addressing Russia's disinformation and Venezuela's political situation.

  • Human rights in Iran: Parliament condemned Iran's systematic repression, urging release of detainees including EU citizens, abolition of the death penalty, and expanded EU sanctions.
  • Case of Boualem Sansal: MEPs called on Algeria to release writer Boualem Sansal and other prisoners of opinion, amend penal code for press freedom, and allow foreign journalists.
  • Russia's disinformation: Parliament rejected Russia's historical justifications for its war, demanded troop withdrawal, and urged countering disinformation and supporting international justice.
  • Venezuela's presidency: Parliament deemed Maduro's presidency illegitimate, recognized González Urrutia as president-elect, and called for sanctions and release of political prisoners.
  • Case of Jean-Jacques Wondo: Parliament deplored the death sentence for Wondo in the DRC, urging judicial reform, access to medical care, and diplomatic efforts for a fair trial.
