Nice write up by @flowhk about the 4000 HKers who turned up to Parliament Square on 6/12, including ref to @myetcetera poem. 👇

“I’m not a Hong Konger”
“Yes, you are!”

‼️ #Uyghur-led campaign to prevent @mbachelet securing a second term achieves its goal: the UN Human Rights Chief has fallen on her own sword after her *disastrous* visit to China.
Time to secure someone who is up to the job. 👏 #Uyghursdeservebetter

Wow. 6/12 protest is MASSIVE. #StandwithHK

The irony will not be lost on @tedhuichifung whose bank accounts @HSBC froze under orders from an authoritarian government.

#BREAK in reply to excellent @joshrogin question on 🇹🇼 President @ZelenskyyUa blasts authoritarian leaders whose ambitions are never satisfied; calls for “preemptive diplomacy” to avoid war which “benefits nobody”.
I am told 🇨🇳 delegation walked out.

#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.

Matter-of-fact (very good) response from @trussliz. Basically: “pointless investigation, get on with publishing your report”. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Key takeaways:
- COVID used as an excuse.
- Beijing’s “anti-terrorism” narrative adopted (😦)
- Admission of Potemkin style prison visit.
- No engagement with #XinjiangPoliceFiles
Hard to see @antonioguterres can reappoint her in September. A catastrophic dereliction of duty.

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.

#BREAKING Human Rights chief @mbachelet “unable” to assess #Uyghur human rights abuses, frames them in the context of “anti-terrorism” and “de radicalisation” measures (which they aren’t).
167
Wow. From Lord (Chris) Patten’s diaries in Oct 1992, published in @Telegraph today.
The British betrayal in Hong Kong runs deep, and they’re paying the price for it now.

The UN Xinjiang visit is has gone from intrepid investigation to #OperationOstrich.
Thanks @ABCWorldNews for covering.

‼️I think this is a REALLY IMPORTANT moment for the #HK democracy movement.
Immensely proud of @ipacglobal’s HK lead @chungchingkwong calling out the failure of the democratic world to defend Hong Kong’s way of life and autonomy.

多謝Telegraph畀我評論匯豐又一次以雙重標準、偽善嘅方式營運。如果匯豐唔立即解凍民運人士、相關機構嘅户口，佢地同自打嘴巴冇分別。

香港政府發放「消息」想禁止使用Telegram，網上一片風聲鶴唳。但呢件事發映左其實佢地有幾驚有幾冇安全感。亦可以睇到佢地對科技操作一無所知，更加無視科技中立等原則，近乎係妄顧現實。
佢地係冇可能如願將整個香港、整場運動滅聲。 twitter.com/charlesmok/sta…

#NOW @MPIainDS has been granted an urgent question in @HouseofCommons on the arrests of Cardinal Zen, Margaret Ng, Denise Ho!@ipacglobal @hk_watch

Just so sad.
Will the arrest of Cardinal Zen - a great man - be enough to get @Pontifex to break his silence on the assault against #HongKong’s freedoms? Don’t hold your breath. 😞 twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…
