@SweeneySteve Mr Sweeney, I am on the left, indeed I was a Corbynista. But here you genuinely don't have a clue what you're talking about. Please see here the reaction from a long list of highly concerned UN Special Rapporteurs to Ms Bachelet's Potemkin visit: https://t.co/BHGPkbZd5V

Thanks 2 @AusForeign 4 focusing on this important topic about Taiwan, China & Australia. I’m also grateful for the opportunity to write for the issue “Freedom of Choice: the View from Taiwan.” I hope the essay shows why Taiwanese deserve support from democracies around the world.

“A regime can ban an assembly but it can never ban the indelible grievances in people’s hearts,” Lee Cheuk-yan, a now jailed democracy activist, wrote in a message published on his Facebook page on Thursday.

Hungary's Viktor Orban is the second EU leader welcomed by @BorisJohnson at Downing Street since Brexit. If the UK is still committed to defending liberal democracy and its values, was #AcademicFreedom discussed? @CEU

We share the international outrage at the brutal measures taken by the authorities in Belarus to punish and intimidate academics and students simply for participating in protests, and call for action to support those struggling for academic freedom there - https://t.co/wFV9GRlymi

The threat of criminal action is now a reality. The Attorney General has just filed a complaint against @conradohubner at the federal criminal court in Brasilia.
He claims that the professor committed the crimes of calumny, defamation and injury. A sad day for Brazilian democracy

[Octávio Luiz Motta Ferraz @octavio_ferraz]

Freedom of Expression under attack in Brazil
Attorney General petitioned against law professor @conradohubner for 'defamation'
The academic and journalistic community have overwhelmingly backed Conrado

Targeting researchers in retaliation to #EU measures responding to human rights abuses, as #China has done, undermines dialogue.

#China banning (https://t.co/WJEwN4YhcO) @j_smithfinley and other scholars and their families only underlines the importance of their work on state crimes in #Xinjiang and of defending #AcademicFreedom everywhere. We stand in solidarity with them.
