🤬 #HongKong making a ministerial visit to the UK.
Let’s get this straight:
🇬🇧 silent on the trial of the 47
🇬🇧 done nothing to hold 🇨🇳 to account for destruction of the Joint Declaration
Now 🇬🇧 wants to hand John Lee a propaganda victory. 🤯

Happy this was picked up in #HK. They haven't managed to shut down the press just yet.

While we’re defending academic freedom, can we talk about @xu_xiuzhong?
Only today, a piece filled with ludicrous smears received 1.7m views on Weibo. Her name (许秀中) is trending
This is the price she’s paying for her seminal report ‘Uyghurs for Sale’
Solidarity, my friend

#BREAKING House of Lords passes #BlencathraAmendment 177 to 135.
The amendment would stop medical equipment being imported from Xinjiang.
On to the House of Commons where a huge rebellion is brewing. ✊

Denying bail to a child for “offences” which are not crimes in any civilised society.
Uncompromising ideology. Unmitigated cruelty. #HongKong twitter.com/tomgrundy/stat…

Surreal moment: @chungchingkwong holding the final #AppleDaily for the first time in London.

The irony will not be lost on @tedhuichifung whose bank accounts @HSBC froze under orders from an authoritarian government.

Dark and increasingly concerning.
As @StuartKLau points out - the person responsible for this post (one of only three ever) reactivated their account to tweet it.
Sad to say but #whereispengshuai is starting to look very much like it needs to be #FreePengShuai twitter.com/li_ding1/statu…

Wow. From Lord (Chris) Patten’s diaries in Oct 1992, published in @Telegraph today.
The British betrayal in Hong Kong runs deep, and they’re paying the price for it now.

Rumours of some kind of #Uyghur Protection Act! This will be far more meaningful for Uyghurs than the changes trailed over the weekend about the Modern Slavery Act.
But still no sign of anything about genocide. So we must keep pushing.

Remember when Muhammed Ali went around the world to ask nations to boycott the 1980 Soviet Union Olympics? Sixty five countries (inc 🇺🇸🇨🇦) didn’t participate (protesting the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan).
An aide memoire ahead of @Beijing2022:

Erm….#Breaking?
Unless I am missing something the Prime Minister @BorisJohnson has just announced IMPORT controls on goods sourced from the #Uyghur region of China.
This was emphatically NOT UK policy…until about 10 minutes ago, apparently. 👇

International law is about to enter a critical phase. If it proves itself incapable of dealing with Putin, the entire system risks collapse.
- Russia off the Human Rights Council.
- Putin in court.
- Reform the UN veto.

I was disturbed to see that #SayragulSautbay’s testimony was being disputed.
Seems everyone piled on to discredit her, accusing her of handing a propaganda victory to the CCP by exaggerating her story.
Nobody gave her right of reply. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9…

Wonderful meeting. The Prime Minister described Beijing’s sanctions as “ridiculous”. twitter.com/ipacglobal/sta…

This is why it is so important to call out these companies. If you choose to tolerate repression for profit, you will be shamed for it. Well done, @nathanlawkc twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…
