The supreme body of the UK State - Parliament - has expressed its view. We believe that the UK can no longer ignore ICJ jurisprudence - we have a clear duty to act without delay.

The #GenocideAmendment comes to Australia. Thanks @ABCaustralia for shining a light on this.

Wow: this is, in effect, a protest by millions of people.
Lowest. Turnout. Ever.
#HongKong has shown support for democracy in the only way it could: by staying away.
🇭🇰 Gov funnelled money into bolstering turnout and even made spoiling ballots a crime. The response? 👇 twitter.com/hkfp/status/14…

The BNO visa is great. Really.
But it didn’t honour our promise to #HongKong. Our treaty promise was to uphold a “high degree of autonomy” and HK’s way of life.
We failed to honour this promise. And we didn’t do anything to hold Beijing to account for breaking that treaty. twitter.com/ukhomeoffice/s…

“Under the one country system”
At least try to hide it? 🙃
482
Thanks. Could you kindly publish advice on the following:
⚠️Should those with a BN(O) visa/passport should hide it when leaving HK in light of announcement this am?
⚠️What should people do who have no other travel document but BN(O)?
A lot of anxiety today, so pls act. twitter.com/tamsinheathfcd…

Watch this video, reportedly of #Uyghurs sleeping next to their machines in a cotton factory in Aksu, Xinjiang. Freezing conditions. Inhumane.
Would you like to live this way? twitter.com/WeiwuerXW/stat…

Again @badiucao’s work is better than 1000 words.

I just voted for @ShaunBaileyUK - the only candidate to have a clear plan for tens of thousands of #HongKongers headed to London, and the only candidate repeatedly calling out London’s complicity in #Uyghur exploitation. Good luck, Shaun!

IOC: stop sports in 🇷🇺 because of 🇺🇦 invasion.
Also IOC: keep sports in 🇨🇳 despite #Uyghur genocide.
🤡🤡🤡
It’s about time the IOC - and Thomas Bach’s - relationship to the Chinese state was investigated. si.com/olympics/2022/…

Wow. It’s very clear which questions have been provided to @mbachelet in advance. She is reading from a script in response to PRC state media questions. Shocking.

It is now becoming the consensus view that the Chinese Government is committing genocide against the #Uyghur people.
The UK refuses to use the word genocide without a court ruling, even though it knows such a ruling is impossible. Immoral.
