Seems UK will deploy any excuse to normalise 🇨🇳🇬🇧 relations
First it was climate change (PRC doesn’t care), now, ludicrously, the Taliban? What’s the @FCDOGovUK smoking?!
Meanwhile, the #Uyghur genocide + 🇭🇰 destruction rages and we do nothing. reuters.com/world/uk-says-…

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…

#AndyLi has served 7 months in jail in China.
He has now been returned to #HongKong, unlawfully interrogated, and taken by the authorities to an undisclosed location.
They think nobody will notice or care.
They’re wrong. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

Wow. The ENTIRE G7 SLAMS #HongKong coronation of John Lee. 👏
Now, how about some actions to back up those words.

❗️ACTION ALERT: Please sign Holocaust survivor Ruth Barnett’s petition.
She wants to meet @BorisJohnson to discuss China’s treatment of the Uyghurs and to urge him to support the #GenocideAmendment
Please help her get this meeting.

IMPORTANT: @FCDOGovUK response to China’s announcement on BN(O).
In summary: “use another travel document to get out of #HK”
Ok. Progress. Thank you. But what about those who don’t have one? twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

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…

🚨 Wow. On the eve of the handover of #HK the PM for the VERY FIRST TIME speaks about “holding China to its commitments”. Does this mean we will finally see some accountability and action? #SanctionsNow #BeyondBNO twitter.com/BorisJohnson/s…
385
Worth noting that there are people in Hong Kong with *no* passport except a BNO passport. #OpenAirPrison twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

Fascinating rumour in Westminster Bubble at the mo: @DominicRaab apparently had five Magnitsky sanctions prepared for #Uyghur persecuting Chinese officials but was blocked from announcing them in January by Number Ten.
387
Can we stop calling this bunch of thugs a “leading member of the international community” yet?

The courage. The BBC report seems to have given others the confidence to speak out about rape and torture in the camps.

Wow. Vigil for Queen Elizabeth outside @UKinHongKong turns into open defiance with #GlorytoHongKong being sung. Vigil candles were reportedly extinguished by police. twitter.com/RazvenHK/statu…

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

Thinking of #Uyghur friends today who have to read headlines like this while the world does nothing.
“We hung Uyghurs from ceilings and ordered their rape” apple.news/A1kAAbon5QMKHy…
392
And as to this despicable assault on Grandma Wong, I don’t have a curse word strong enough for this scumbag.
393
It is now becoming the consensus view that the Chinese Government is committing genocide against the #Uyghur people.
The UK refuses to use the word genocide without a court ruling, even though it knows such a ruling is impossible. Immoral.

#BREAKING as predicted @pritipatel has expanded the Hong Kong BNO scheme!!!
Thank you everyone who worked on this! 😭

What use is a "lifeboat" policy if people can't leave?

And here it is. ❗️WARNING❗️this is a press conference featuring family and neighbours of @TribunalUyghur witnesses who may be speaking under duress. People who haven’t been seen by their exiled families in a long time.
Just despicable cruelty.

There's a pro-gov person in #HongKong who:
👉Resigned my @Conservatives membership pretending to be me (now reinstated)
👉Harasses my family and colleagues with fake emails
I now have "his" exact location + phone details (which *really* needs an update)

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…

We cannot stand idly by while this happens to #HK

Not sure who took it, but ❤️ this photo.
On an issue as big as China, we have to look beyond party divisions. #StandwithHK
