The face of the #HongKonger beaten in Manchester today by thugs from the Chinese Consulate.
Appalling.

Two more photographs from Matthew Leung at The Chaser News.
They clearly show this man engaged in assault.
Having reviewed pictures of the Consul General, I believe it is indeed Zheng Xiyuan.
903
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/…

❗️Just heard that Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly and contacts in Number Ten are on this - looking at what can be done.
The Consul General - who directed and participated in violent assault and vandalism - should be labelled persona non grata and sent back to China. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Unfortunately for Wang Wenbin, we have eyes and can see from the footage that this is a barefaced lie. twitter.com/StephenMcDonel…

Update: @Afzal4Gorton has been granted an Urgent Question on #HKBob at 12:30 in @HouseofCommons
Let’s hear what Ministers have to say about this 👇
907
#BREAK
@FCDOGovUK Minister @Jesse_Norman
“Extremely concerned” about beating of #HKBob
Foreign Secretary @JamesCleverly has summoned Chinese Ambassador to demand an explanation for behaviour of consulate staff. Investigation underway.
908
#BREAK @Jesse_Norman confirms that BNO extension amendment will be laid TODAY!!
Didn’t expect that…!
#StandwithHK!!

Recently created Twitter account appears attempting to exculpate the Chinese Consulate in #HKBob saga with heavily edited video splicing material clearly gathered mainly through Consulate CCTV.
Wonder who’s behind the account 🤔 twitter.com/McrStory/statu…

Extraordinary. The Chinese Consul General here admitting his personal involvement in #BobChan case.
Surely expulsion now imminent @JamesCleverly ? twitter.com/inzyrashid/sta…
911
Break:
U.K. Government says that the U.K. will expect China to waive diplomatic immunity so to that, if police thinks there are chargeable offences, officials involved in #BobChan beating can be prosecuted, and if they do not there will be “serious diplomatic consequences”.

In case you missed it.
A *court* in Hong Kong has forbidden the words “Tiananmen massacre” to be used by a defendant.
A reminder that British judges still participate in this farce of a legal system. twitter.com/hkfp/status/15…

#New Chinese Embassy in the UK releases bizarre “press conference” video (no press, no questions) which features this cracker:

Please read and share this important thread.
We shouldn’t have to beg our government to get on top of this. @JamesCleverly @SuellaBraverman please defend UK sovereignty. twitter.com/samdunningo/st…

Fantastic breakthrough. #Uyghurs

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.

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…

Don’t have a firm view on @elonmusk takeover but find it really weird that people insist upon characterising old twitter as the halcyon days of digital human rights.
Just false. Inter alia, twitter consistently and knowingly failed victims of child pornography. HT @elizableu

Uyghur, Kazakh and Uzbek survivors of unimaginable CCP cruelty in @Europarl_EN today.
For them speaking isn’t just re-living their trauma, is it inviting brutal CCP reprisals for them and their families.
