Just received this. Thank you to the person who sent it. Will frame it as a reminder to keep fighting.

Activist @GretaThunberg just described China’s coal policy as “out of touch with reality” - something no #COP26 leader seems to have the courage to do.

I find this image almost unbearably moving. twitter.com/SkyNews/status…

Yes, I’ve seen them. No comment, aside from this:
Hong Kong’s legal system is an international embarrassment.
Attempts to frame Jimmy Lai are pathetically transparent.
Andy Li has committed no crime.

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…

Thanks to @mcashmanCBE and Lord Alton for their help.
I'm delighted that the SRA took this case seriously and have taken this rare step. People who spout hate, incite violence and encourage authoritarianism have no place practising law in the UK. Stand with Hong Kong!

Simply heartbreaking. twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

WATCH this. The BN(O) scheme is great, but does nothing to hold China accountable for breaching the Joint Declaration.
Where are the consequences? twitter.com/ipacglobal/sta…

I’ve never felt more like a second tier nation than watching this knowing UK leaders would not have the courage to say the same. twitter.com/Reuters/status…

#NEW: I’ve now heard multiple reports that #HK activists nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize are suffering reprisals (bullying/threats) in custody as a direct result of the nomination.

Unless you are #Uyghur
Unless it’s in the Uyghur language
Unless you mention Tiananmen Square
Given we are on the subject, Theo, what exactly are ByteDance’s obligations under the PRC’s 2017 National Intelligence Law? Or don’t you know? twitter.com/theobertram/st…

405 days in custody.
His only crime? Peaceful defence of the promises 🇬🇧 and 🇨🇳 made to #HK
你常存我們心中，東山再起、指日可待。

Bafflingly, today @sra_solicitors let off Junius Ho after a 5 day hearing.
Key points:
1. Junius admitted “kill without mercy” comment was wrong
2. Junius had to pay his own fees (circa £50k)
3. Prosecution didn’t seek any evidence from me at any point
4. I’m not dropping it

🔥WOW. The US has just massively upgraded their relationship with Taiwan.
Nobody did more than @marykissel to make this happen.
The UK should follow. The Taiwanese aren’t even allowed to call their London office an Embassy. Why? You guessed it folks.

While better than nothing, ‘deeply concerned’ with no concrete follow up only serves as an encouragement to Beijing that their actions carry no consequences. twitter.com/BeijingToBrit/…

Look at their desperate efforts to make remembrance a crime.

We are also defaulting on our own promises, Minister. We have treaty obligations to uphold human rights in Hong Kong.
Does anyone at the @FCDOGovUK seriously believe we are successfully honouring those promises? twitter.com/nadams/status/…

US blocks imports of cotton and tomato products from the #Uyghur Region over anti-Muslim atrocities.
Trade war or not, this is the right decision. Beggars belief that it didn’t happen sooner and that others haven’t yet done the same. #Closethecamps reuters.com/article/us-usa…

Worrying piece connecting social media censorship in the West with the Chinese Communist Party. Something disturbing going on here which warrants urgent and thorough investigation. nypost.com/2020/10/20/mee…

何已完自己唔奉公守法，去party又唔叫埋林鄭，只准周官放火不許百姓點燈，唔知錯又唔道歉都算。等嗰幾個鐘又唔高興、官官相衛放你走叫你搭地鐵又發老脾，你同你口中嗰啲 「打壞廢青」有乜分別 。仲有啊，你咁愛國，做咩帶咁多日清杯面入去隔離啊 🤡 twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…
