Mr Antonio Tajani President of the European Parliament

09/02/2017 – I would like to extend best-wishes to you on your election as President of the European Parliament and express Amnesty International’s desire to work with you and the European Parliament on human rights issues. As President of the European Parliament, you play a crucial role in promoting the European Union’s underlying principles, towards the public and in carrying out the European Parliament’s core business of holding the other EU institutions to account on their human rights obligations and commitments. We would like to urge you to champion human rights by speaking out about violations of human rights within the EU and abroad.
