#JimmyLai is a hero, a man of immense integrity and courage, and deserves to be honoured not imprisoned or put on trial with ludicrous false charges
@JamesCleverly @FCDOGovUK should be speaking out for this great man, who is a British national

I am glad he has finally acknowledged this
I hope now he will put things right

I am glad they have been released on bail. But they should never have been arrested in the first place.
The international community must keep up the pressure for the case to be dropped. twitter.com/krislc/status/…

Dear @elonmusk:
Congratulations on purchasing @Twitter
I would like you to be clear what is your relationship with & attitude to #XiJinping #CCP regime, & what implications, if any, that may have for our freedom on this medium.
Please clarify urgently

As #CCP holds 20th Party Congress in just over a week, it is vital for the world to know what #XiJinping is doing to #Uyghurs, #Tibet, #HongKong, his threats to #Taiwan, complicity with #Myanmar & #NorthKorea, crackdown on dissent in #China itself & threats to our freedoms too /

Jimmy Lai's international lawyers are absolutely right to file this appeal at the UN
It is absolutely outrageous that they, as international lawyers, should face such intimidation for their very valid and justified actions
