Arrests again show that China is not becoming more open & democratic as a result of international agreements.
EP will never ratify the China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment without commitments & proof that the human rights of Hong Kongers, Uyghurs & Tibetans improve
I call on the EU to launch an impact assessment on the new EU-China Investment Agreement, looking at the effect on Human Rights that the agreement will have, in particular with an emphasis on the situation in #HongKong, #Xinjiang & #Tibet. https://t.co/EQEX8Bw2CF

The right of the people of Hong Kong to engage in peaceful protest is enshrined in the Basic Law. The Chinese government committed to upholding these rights in the Joint Declaration. The detention of pro-democracy activists for exercising this right must be universally condemned
China’s brutal sentencing of three pro-democracy leaders in Hong Kong is appalling.
We call on all freedom-loving people around the world to join us in denouncing this unjust sentencing & China’s widespread assault on Hong Kongers' autonomy & freedom. https://t.co/9DhRT1MWx1
