Russia & China were the only countries to block UNSCR 2449 renewal, the Syria cross-border humanitarian assistance resolution. The international community has committed over $30 billion aid dollars to Syria that pass through these crossings. It is shameful to withhold this aid.
Important piece in today’s Times on shocking reports that #Huawei is facilitating the mass persecution of #Uyghurs. Inconceivable that @GOVUK would allow UK taxes to support these atrocities.
Thanks @TomTugendhat and @SarahChampionMP for leading on this.

Protests broke out in Hong Kong after the government attempted to force through a controversial extradition law. Although the bill has since been withdrawn, the protesters demands have broadened.

Hong Kong protesters have been rallying in solidarity with China's Uighurs in a move that is likely to infuriate Beijing. as they likened their plight to that of the oppressed Muslim minority. https://t.co/5ye5ZTUQBN
More than 1,000 people in Hong Kong rallied peacefully in support of China's ethnic Uighurs, waving Uighur flags and posters in the city's financial district, marking the latest demonstration in over six months of anti-government unrest.

After two decades of grassroots efforts by Beijing to win hearts and minds, some supporters of the extradition bill admit being stunned by the hostility of Hong Kongers to Chinese rule. Read how the bill was launched, promoted and ultimately unravelled https://t.co/JBl2Rh6mNh
Protesters in Hong Kong hold their phones to the sky. But the signal keeps broadcasting, long after they turn off their camera lights, head to their homes and take off their masks. https://t.co/ax41E3vyja
Hong Kong has been protesting for six months. The city may never be the same again. A fantastic, well-designed piece worth your time, by @jgriffiths and @jessieyeung8 https://t.co/QAimJow0wD
