I’m increasingly convinced that we dehumanise #Uyghurs in the West. If this were your mother, you wouldn’t be dithering over which court should rule on genocide. You’d be doing everything in your power to make this suffering stop. twitter.com/NurKashgar/sta…

I don’t believe the @sra_solicitors is comfortable with this, so will continue to work with them to root out this excrescence. Ho is a violent and prejudicial man who belongs among his like in the CCP, not practising law in the UK.

Yes. And if this is the case for FULL BRITISH CITIZENS imagine what it’s like for British Nationals (Overseas).
You don’t have to imagine. Look at the denied requests for consular sanctuary in #HK. twitter.com/patrickwintour…

“Largely independently” tells you all you need to know. This has little to do with the rule of law, and a lot to do with massive pressure applied by UK lawyers practising in lucrative #HK who want the status quo. Breathtakingly short-sighted. twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

If you look at these maps and see benevolence, you aren't paying attention.

Getting really embarrassing for the UK now. twitter.com/ipacglobal/sta…

Heart is breaking tonight for friends unjustly imprisoned in #HongKong
Something about being in Taiwan that is painfully reminiscent. So close, and yet so far.
People forget the human cost. They did nothing to deserve this.

Planning the next stage of the #GenocideAmendment with @ipacglobal colleagues @MPIainDS @Nus_Ghani and @DavidAltonHL
#Uyghurs must have their day in court. Without a judgment, the @GOVUK won’t act.
As HongKongers would say: add oil!

Some further details:
1. Apparently no police statements taken yesterday (why?)
2. Ambulance not called for #HKBob
3. Police have briefed that Bob didn’t want to press charges (victim says this is false).
The Home Secretary needs to get a grip of this asap. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Stanley Johnson, unperturbed by atrocities in the #Uyghur Region or the UK’s obligations to #HongKong intervenes to put pressure on his son @BorisJohnson to ignore them, too.
Pretty ugly stuff.

One country
One system
One life-long leader
Countless interchangeable henchmen

Turns out it was @BarryGardiner who has NEVER spoken on #Uyghurs, but was happy to celebrate genocide denying former ambassador’s departure, received significant sums from “spy” Christine Lee. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Chinese Government Minister accuses @Nus_Ghani of lying.
Hoping her colleagues and our party will stand with her and publicly denounce this “diplomacy”. twitter.com/MahuiChina/sta…

🇬🇧 Minister: “don’t do genocide or crush Hong Kong” ✅
Also 🇬🇧 Minister (in same meeting 🤯): “let’s do more business” ❌
Repeat after me:

Thinking of #Uyghur friends today who have to read headlines like this while the world does nothing.
“We hung Uyghurs from ceilings and ordered their rape” apple.news/A1kAAbon5QMKHy…

Final day of this set of @TribunalUyghur hearings. Good to see @SKinnock and @Nus_Ghani in attendance to hear @nyrola testimony.
593
This is a joke.
The 🇬🇧 Six Monthly Report on #HongKong fails to condemn another material breach of the Sino British Joint Declaration, but instead says that we want to “work constructively” with those responsible.
That’ll really show ‘em. 🤦♂️

Dominic Raab says he “doubts” he will attend @Beijing2022
Some progress but not enough. Genocidal states shouldn’t be allowed sportswash their abuses. twitter.com/BeijingToBrit/…

Dark and increasingly concerning.
As @StuartKLau points out - the person responsible for this post (one of only three ever) reactivated their account to tweet it.
Sad to say but #whereispengshuai is starting to look very much like it needs to be #FreePengShuai twitter.com/li_ding1/statu…

If @UNHumanRights can’t hold 🇨🇳 to account for putting millions in camps, what’s the point in it?
Thanks @abcnews

This is a letter returned to the family of Tang Kai-yin - one of the #HK12 who has been in Shenzhen prison since 2020.
Reportedly no money for his well-being has been drawn for months, and family mail returned.
@FCDOGovUK @trussliz please raise his case.

Krish is doing a huge amount to welcome Hong Kong BN(O)s.
@pritipatel should establish a BN(O) Commission with people like Krish on it to enable the UK to ensure this unprecedented scheme runs smoothly. twitter.com/krishk/status/…
