🚨 WOW. @sajidjavid BANS @HikvisionHQ ON GROUNDS OF COMPLICITY IN #UYGHUR ABUSES.
Hard to overstate the significance of a unilateral departmental ban like this. Massive props to Saj and @DHSCgovuk officials for making this happen. 👏👏 #StandwithUyghurs

In reply to my piece, the lovely Professor @MaryGao argued that *participating* in @Beijing2022 would be more effective than a boycott.
I’ve replied to her. 👇
Please do give our @pairagraph dialogue a read.

Why was @Beijing2022 awarded the Olympics anyway?
This is what @iocmedia did to Oslo’s bid. 😱👇

At night they came
an entourage of undertakers
white screened, red handed
to abduct the memory of their shame

Here’s what Tutu (who campaigned to boycott Beijing 2008) ACTUALLY thought:
“If we did not have…economic and sports boycotts we would still have an apartheid government sitting firmly in Pretoria” twitter.com/iocmedia/statu…

We can’t allow 🇨🇳 a free pass this #G20 - #HongKong, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans and #Taiwan deserve better.

The most frustrating thing about this is that we aren't even asking them to say #China is committing genocide against #Uyghurs. Just that their policy of "judges, not politicians" determining genocide should be operable. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

🚨🚨#BREAKING Lord Blencathra #Genocideamendment PASSES 110 to 91
If it becomes law, it could trigger the UK’s Genocide Convention obligations re: #Uyghurs AND stop the purchase of slave made PPE.
Now to the @HouseofCommons where the battle continues.

Potentially a very big day for #Uyghurs
Liz Truss recently said she believes 🇨🇳 is committing genocide and reportedly told European Reform Group hustings that she would recognise the genocide if elected.
This would be a historic and long overdue step. twitter.com/trussliz/statu…

Thanks, Xi Jinping.
A reminder that this study concludes that if non-pharmaceutical interventions had been deployed three weeks earlier by China (ie not covered up) spread could have been reduced by 95%

Well, well. Massive scoop from @MrHarryCole - wonder which MP had a spy working in their office?
If one of the MPs heavily invested in denying the Uyghur genocide, there will be even more serious questions to answer.

Spoiler: these changes to the Modern Slavery Act have been in the pipeline for ages and will do v little to help #Uyghurs
Have to call it our: this is a window dressing to see off the #NoGenocideTrade rebellion.

#NEW @WTA REFUSING to host events in China until #PengShuai case is resolved.
Have to hand it to them. While other sports associations pay lip service to human rights and gender quality, Steve Simon’s WTA is practising what it preaches. twitter.com/SafeguardDefen…

Nothing to see here. Just a government official celebrating the arrest of a young Hong Kongese woman to….own the democrats.
