"Last week, China ratified an extradition treaty with Turkey and if Ankara follows suit the pact will become law, potentially putting thousands of Uyghurs living in Turkey at risk." https://t.co/7JbkXZkPmZ
Crazy. And there are people who still believe they have nothing to hide about the origins of #COVID19?!

So winning elections is subversion?
#CCP is only doing this to #HongKong because Britain & the free world has responded to grave breaches of an international treaty with mere words
@DominicRaab@BorisJohnson words don't work with #XiJinping. Actions might
#TimeforSanctions
The scale of this crackdown is unprecedented.
The free world must now act in an unprecedentedly robust manner.
Tough, targeted, coordinated sanctions.
A generous worldwide lifeboat scheme.
A UN Special Rapporteur
Cancellation of the ridiculous EU-CCP investment deal.
NOW.
😭 Lots of friends arrested today in #HK
Remember the international community (esp the UK) has legal obligations to prevent this from happening.
If we get another hand-wringing 5-eyes statement about “serious concern” I swear....
China’s crackdown on democracy will not be ignored by the world. More than 50 prominent democratic advocates were arrested today in Hong Kong. This is unacceptable, HKers’ rights are human rights.
Foreign Secretary @DominicRaab statement. Can someone explain to me how allowing Hong Kongers to come to the UK upholds a 'high-degree of autonomy' IN HONG KONG?
When are we going to hold China accountable?
1. The current political crackdown is not only limited to the winners of the 2020 Pro-Democracy Primary Elections, nor is it limited to the Resistance Camp formed after the Primaries. This is a large-scale liquidation involving 52 democrats across different political spectrums.
The mass arrest in #HongKong comes as a deep shock to those who treasure freedom. In #Taiwan🇹🇼, we strongly condemn the act & will continue speaking out for the rights of the democracy advocates. The free world must unite against authoritarianism: No more room for ambiguity! JW
Arrests of over 50 #HongKong activists shows that the Chinese government has no hesitancy in breaking international law.
The @Europarl_EN 🇪🇺 should not ratify the #CAI investment deal until #China proves it can improve the situation of #Uyghurs, Hong Kongers and others!
The EU and UK should react together to the Chinese repressions in Hong Kong. Let us show that despite brexit, we are still a community when it comes to universal rights.
