Last week, in his final meeting before leaving Washington, DC, and two days before we were threatened under #HongKong's #NationalSecurityLaw, our co-founder and CEO @benedictrogers met with United States Congressman Chris Smith, a true champion for #HK and #HumanRights in #China
Just some facts: Almost 100 countries unanimously expressed support for China’s policy in #Xinjiang and opposition to interference in China’s internal affairs in the name of human rights at the #UN #HumanRights Council.

สหรัฐเพิ่งออกรายงานเรื่องปัญหาสิทธิมนุษยชนในไทย ได้กล่าวถึงตลาดหลวงและดิชั้นด้วยว่าถูกรัฐไทยรังแก The US State Department just released the report on human rights in Thailand in which myself and Royalist Marketplace were mentioned #HumanRights #ตลาดหลวง state.gov/reports/2020-c…
.@JimmyLaiApple is charged under the #NationalSecurityLaw & denied bail. He's publicly paraded in chains & portrayed as a hardened criminal! "Evidence" in his case includes following @iingwen. To me, this is evidence of #China's crimes against freedom & #HumanRights. #FreeHK JW twitter.com/KenRoth/status…
.@iingwen's naming as one of the world's 100 most powerful women by @Forbes is a real honor. It's also recognition of #Taiwan's🇹🇼 standing as a freedom- & democracy-loving country in which #HumanRights are respected & progress on #SDG5 is steaming ahead. All hail the #PowerWomen! twitter.com/Forbes/status/…
Watch Minister Wu's statement at the Ministerial to Advance Freedom of Religion or Belief. As a signatory of the Universal Declaration of #HumanRights, #Taiwan🇹🇼 stands with other like-minded countries in meeting its obligations under #UDHR🇺🇳 Article 18. ➡️bit.ly/JW_RFreedom
Strong statement by @GermanyUN Amb. Heusgen on behalf of 39 countries during #UNGA's 🇺🇳 3rd Committee. #Taiwan🇹🇼 adds its voice to the call for upholding autonomy, rights & freedoms in #HongKong, as well as respecting HK judicial independence & #HumanRights in #Tibet & #Xinjiang. twitter.com/GermanyUN/stat…

3. So long as #HongKong continues to function as the gateway of global capital flowing into China, foreign companies and governments still have the leverage to call for more #HumanRights and #freedom protections.

-and keeping the public informed. We have noted Andy's interest in international advocacy on #Hongkong #HumanRights conditions, which we hope to leverage to call for international attention on all 12 detainees. #AndyIsMissing #save12hkyouths

All humans should have the right to speak out for what they believe in without fear of prosecution. #HumanRights
#Taiwan will support the people of #HongKong in protecting their freedom, democracy & #HumanRights, as well as provide care for them. Read @MAC_Taiwan's release for details of the #HK Humanitarian Aid Project & Taiwan-HK Office for Exchanges & Services. ➡️bit.ly/2V1BHoy
I was invited to visit a special exhibition on children’s rights at the National #HumanRights Museum. The kids' energy & spirit reaffirmed my conviction: My most important task as President is to make every generation of Taiwanese confident about our future & ourselves.
#Taiwan is a beacon of freedom, democracy & rule of law. We thank the #US for highlighting this fact in @StateDept's latest #HumanRights report. The government will keep strengthening such values in Taiwan & with other like-minded countries in the #IndoPacific & around the world. twitter.com/StateDept/stat…
We sincerely thank @SpeakerPelosi for the strong message of #US support. Passage of the #TAIPEI Act is a resounding vote of confidence in #Taiwan & its democracy. The country will keep working with like-minded partners in promoting peace, freedom & #HumanRights across the region. twitter.com/SpeakerPelosi/…
Proud to present this year’s Asia Democracy & Human Rights Award to @DTPHumanRights Executive Director Patrick Earle, acknowledging his organization’s achievements in promoting democratic values as the longest-running #HumanRights training program in the #AsiaPacific.
