* In December, the NHC and several other organizations decided to stop using X as a communication platform due to algorithm changes and the widespread promotion of disinformation and hate speech. Like many others, we have instead migrated to Bluesky.
‘We would like to thank you for supporting the projects helping us implement such necessary international advocacy activities. Since 2022, MIHR has conducted more than 10 side events in the OSCE, presenting analytical materials based on the hundreds and thousands of documented cases on arbitrary liberty deprivation of Ukrainian civilians. The MIHR team convinced core decision makers that the topic is important. Thanks to your support, all this work and its results are possible.’
Liliia Chulitska, Media Initiative for Human Rights (MIHR)
