I was disturbed to see that #SayragulSautbay’s testimony was being disputed.
Seems everyone piled on to discredit her, accusing her of handing a propaganda victory to the CCP by exaggerating her story.
Nobody gave her right of reply. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…

Remember when Muhammed Ali went around the world to ask nations to boycott the 1980 Soviet Union Olympics? Sixty five countries (inc 🇺🇸🇨🇦) didn’t participate (protesting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan).

OUTRAGEOUS - another bald attempt to asphyxiate free media in #HK
They forget how tough Jimmy is…watch now as they attempt to frame him again and again. They’ll even force young pro-dem “witnesses” under duress to fit their ridiculous narrative. Just watch. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…
