Shockingly sad.
I’m the aftermath of #AppleDaily’s forced closure, the brilliant @StandNewsHK self censors in a bid for survival.

We need URGENT action from @DominicRaab @BorisJohnson re: a COMPLETELY INNOCENT #HongKong newspaper editorial writer being arrested en route to the UK - probably hoping to participate in the BNO scheme. This makes a mockery of our treaty promises. #Enough twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…
504
The 🇭🇰 🇨🇳Governments are shutting down @pritipatel’s BNO scheme. Just watch.
What will the @FCDOGovUK have to say? What will @DominicRaab do when the “lifeboat” policy is sunk?
Can we finally move to accountability and consequences? twitter.com/PoliticsForAlI…

Dear @IndyVoices
This shocking piece of Xinjiang denialism by embarrassment @vincecable is illiterate of the law. Surprised it cleared your subeditors.
I’m not linking to it. The way this guy unrepentantly spits in the face of #Uyghur survivors makes me sick.

On the eve of the 100th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, I was heartened to receive this.
507
Respect @DominicRaab but this is infuriating.
Where are:
❌"urgent" review of export controls, promised in January?
❌changes to the Modern Slavery Act?
❌mysterious import controls cited recently by PM?
The UK has done NOTHING to hold China or HKSAR to account for ⬇️ twitter.com/DominicRaab/st…

In its 99th year, the #CCP covered up a pandemic, causing untold death and suffering, continued atrocities against #Uyghurs, #Tibetans and other minorities, and exacted an all-out assault on human rights in #HongKong.
Nothing to celebrate. twitter.com/sophia_yan/sta…

WOW! Lithuania throws open the doors to #HongKongers - even those with NO PASSPORT?!
I was with @Adomenas in #HongKong Nov 2019. He is a true friend to the city. And, like most Lithuanians, knows what oppression feels like.

Dear @DominicRaab
What happened to this “urgent” review, promised in Jan? #Uyghurs
522
Received lots of evidence about people abusing the BNO scheme. People who harassed democracy protestors.
Simple message: the scheme isn’t intended for you. We have made representations to the @ukhomeoffice about your cases.

#BREAKING HOUSE OF COMMONS VOTES FOR A *DIPLOMATIC* BOYCOTT OF @Beijing2022 - MOTION PASSES UNANIMOUSLY.
Thank you @timloughton and all those organisations who helped to get this done.
524
United Kingdom:
❌No sanctions on 🇭🇰 or 🇨🇳 officials over #HK
❌Anti-dem people abusing the lifeboat scheme that younger #HK dem campaigners can’t access.
Embarrassing and shameful.

I wrote for @pairagraph about why boycotts are generally a bad idea, but with @Beijing2022 we have no other choice.
