I’m increasingly convinced that we dehumanise #Uyghurs in the West. If this were your mother, you wouldn’t be dithering over which court should rule on genocide. You’d be doing everything in your power to make this suffering stop. twitter.com/NurKashgar/sta…

Commemorating #Uyghur and #Kazhak victims of the Chinese Communist Party who have died in detention with @MahmutRahima @Dolkun_Isa @Nus_Ghani @SKinnock @adrianzenz @j_smithfinley and others in Newcastle. We will remember you.

#Breaking UK Government intends to prevent a vote on the #GenocideAmendment AGAIN.
They will instead re-table @neill_bob wrecking amendment which excludes #Uyghurs
From a Government letter to all MPs.
Really poor.

Either all these witnesses are lying or we are hearing of the most depraved and cruel state torture this side of the Millennium. #UyghurTribunal twitter.com/Joe_E_Collins_…

Confirmed by numerous sources that the UK has decided to increase bilateral trade with China despite sanctions on MPs and what @DominicRaab calls “industrial scale” rights abuses.
When more evidence of deaths like 👇 emerges, history will judge 🇬🇧 harshly. twitter.com/AbduwelA/statu…

Massive news. Why does the U.K. have to be dragged kicking and screaming to do the same?

Essential reading.
This is your 1936 moment @iocmedia
If you think this will blow over you grossly underestimate the resilience and determination of #Uyghurs #HongKongers and other peoples oppressed by this brutal regime. twitter.com/BethanyAllenEb…

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/…

Find me a scene that better expresses the worst aspects of modern Britain that a policeman traipsing onto the Sanctuary on the most solemn day of the Christian year threatening people with fines for going to church a day after zero COVID deaths were reported in London.

Latest: Government *deliberately* tabled their amendment 2nd to preclude the Speaker accepting a manuscript amendment. Now 100% certain this was to prevent a Commons vote on the #GenocideAmendment
Whips also going nuts about @LOS_Fisher exposing their bullying.
Not a good look.

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.

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