#HongKong tonight.
Regime stooges so scared of the memory of the #Tiananmenmassacre that they’re shutting down an entire public space to prevent people honouring the memory of the fallen. So pathetic you almost pity it.

I have grave concerns about this visit
@mbachelet must ensure she is not used for #CCP mendacious propaganda, that she raises #HongKong, #Tibet, forced organ harvesting & persecution of Christians as well as #UyghurGenocide, and that she tells the truth
