                       MEPs strongly condemned the unilateral Turkish 
military intervention in northeast Syria, urging Turkey to withdraw all of 
its forces from Syrian territory.

                              In a resolution, adopted on Thursday by show 
of hands, MEPs warn that Turkey’s intervention in northeast Syria is a grave 
violation of international law, undermining the stability and security of 
the region as a whole.

                              Since Turkey launched its military invasion, 
alongside a high number of civilian and military casualties, at least 300 
000 citizens have been displaced, underline MEPs, quoting UN sources. MEPs 
advocate that a UN-led security zone should be established in northern 
Syria.

                              They firmly reject Turkish plans to establish 
“a so-called safe zone” along the border in north-east Syria and expressed 
concern that the US-Turkish agreement on a temporary ceasefire might 
legitimise the Turkish occupation of this “safe zone”.

                       Thailand denied entry to Mu Sochua

                              Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) 
Vice-President Mu Sochua was denied entry in Bangkok on October 20 and sent 
back to Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia. From there, she headed to the United 
States, where she is also a citizen.

                              Thai immigration authorities did not respond 
to requests for comment, but a document viewed by Al Jazeera showed that 
Sochua was rejected for “having behaviour which (was) possibly harmful” to 
Thai society.

                       Examination of Italy at the Human Rights Council on 
the exploitation of labour in agriculture of migrant workers

                              The Report of the Special Rapporteur- Urmila 
Bhoola – with regard to Italy on contemporary forms of slavery, including 
its causes and consequences  was adopted at the last session of the Human 
Rights Council. During her visit to Italy from 3 to 12 October 2018, the SR 
examined in particular the exploitation of migrant workers in the 
agricultural sector and visited Rome, Calabria, Apulia and Latina province, 
engaged directly with victims of labour exploitation and visited the 
informal settlements of San Ferdinando (Calabria) and Borgo Mezzazione 
(Apulia). Italy has not yet ratified the International Convention on The 
Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Family 
and the definition of forced labour is not explicit under Italian criminal 
law but it is addressed in article 603bis of the Criminal Code which 
prohibits illicit intermediation and work exploitation, that is capolarato.

                       Ilham Tohti, an Uyghur economist fighting for the 
rights of China’s Uyghur minority, is the winner of the European 
Parliament's Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought in 2019.

                              Announcing the laureate, Parliament President 
David Sassoli said: “I am very pleased to announce that the European 
Parliament has chosen Ilham Tohti as the winner of the 2019 Sakharov Prize 
for Freedom of Thought. Tohti has dedicated his life to advocating for the 
rights of the Uyghur minority in China. Despite being a voice of moderation 
and reconciliation, he was sentenced to life in prison following a show 
trial in 2014.

                              "By awarding this prize, we strongly urge the 
Chinese government to release Tohti and we call for the respect of minority 
rights in China."
