Dear @NYCSchools no one wants to do remote learning— let kids and teachers have a snow day— we don’t need more time in front of computer screens. Also don’t assume parents can be around to help their kids with a full day of remote school. Signed NYC parents.

Such a privilege to have @JMacForFamilies and @HinaEsq in our Clinic seminar yesterday @LeitnerCenter @FordhamRaceLaw

Had a wonderful day with @HinaEsq at Fordham U today. We discussed international advocacy, specifically CERD - the students were very engaged - which is what made it so wonderful.

Sadly, CBC closing its China bureau after 40+ yrs in Beijing. In the 5 yrs I was there, official roadblocks made it increasingly difficult to report, and Beijing unresponsive in granting new visas to CBC. Still, being there remains best way to tell China story. Hope we’ll return

China is asking the United Nations human rights chief to bury a highly-anticipated report on human rights violations in #Xinjiang, according to a Chinese letter seen by Reuters and confirmed by diplomats from three countries who received it. https://t.co/Oq5njkSn9E

The UN's Human Rights Committee raised a number of concerns at a meeting with the Hong Kong delegation last and this week, grilling officials about the use of Covid-19 rules to ban protests, the state of press freedom and more.

Happy Labour Day. Late last month a Hong Kong judge denied former union leader Carol Ng's bail application in part because her trade union work had given her international connections that could be used to "further the hostility against the authorities."
