Until she is permitted to speak or travel, these videos only serve to confirm fears for #PengShaui’s safety and freedom. They are hostage videos and we have seen them many times before. Next phase is likely an “interview” with State media. #freepengshuai twitter.com/DreyerChina/st…

.@CGTNOfficial really thinks you’re stupid. Quote from “Random netizen on Weibo”
“Xinjiang’s ethnic policies are preferable towards the ethnic minorities...that’s why the population rate growth of minorities - especially #Uyghurs - has been growing”
Glad 🇬🇧 banned them twitter.com/CGTNOfficial/s…

The Joint Declaration is a treaty lodged at the UN and still in force. The U.K. needs to make a formal request for punitive action commensurate with the severity of the breach. The idea that we would be seeking “increased bilateral trade” (Grimstone) with China is a joke.

🚨 Good to see Beijing’s appalling human rights abuses are becoming an election issue.

Big 🇨🇳 news from @GOVUK hitting tomorrow. 👀
Watch this space.

We are with you in your grief. 🙏🏻 for Taiwanese friends today. 🇹🇼🇬🇧😞 twitter.com/UKinTaiwan/sta…

Thank you all those MPs who spoke so powerfully today. All those campaigning groups and individuals. All those who cared. We must now hold the UK Government to its legal duties.

Very glad to see this reported.
I have dealt with cases of Hong Konger BN(O)s who are terrified about renewing their passports, as they have to enter PRC territory, where they could be at risk.
Surely there’s a better way? @SuellaBraverman

URGENT!
@DominicRaab @UKinMorocco please make representations on behalf of this #Uyghur detained IN TRANSIT and likely to be deported to China. twitter.com/SafeguardDefen…

Periodic reminder that China stands credibly accused of genocide against Turkic minorities in the #Uyghur Region. No credible sinologist thinks China’s promises on forced labour are worth anything (look at the evidence of the past year alone).
👇 is desperate bluster. twitter.com/WeyandSabine/s…

Planning the next stage of the #GenocideAmendment with @ipacglobal colleagues @MPIainDS @Nus_Ghani and @DavidAltonHL
#Uyghurs must have their day in court. Without a judgment, the @GOVUK won’t act.
As HongKongers would say: add oil!

Extremely disturbing and graphic testimony of torture today. @TribunalUyghur twitter.com/CUyghurs/statu…

The BNO visa is great. Really.
But it didn’t honour our promise to #HongKong. Our treaty promise was to uphold a “high degree of autonomy” and HK’s way of life.
We failed to honour this promise. And we didn’t do anything to hold Beijing to account for breaking that treaty. twitter.com/ukhomeoffice/s…

#GenocideAmendment update:
House of Lords debate and vote will be earlier than expected. Could begin around 13:40 - follow at the link below.
Vote will be closer this time: some peers have constitutional objections to sending things back too many times.

What security and human rights grounds? 🧵🪡 twitter.com/CharlesRollet1…

Warning: truly vile racism.
What steps is @iocmedia taking to prevent @Beijing2022 athletes suffering abuse like this?

#BREAKING: @trussliz and @neill_bob table motion to deny @HouseofCommons a vote on the #GenocideAmendment - insisting on their previous amendment which does not apply to China, and will do nothing for #Uyghurs

Wow. It’s very clear which questions have been provided to @mbachelet in advance. She is reading from a script in response to PRC state media questions. Shocking.
