Forced sterilisations, torture & now enslavement - the full horror of China’s persecution of the Uyghur Muslims becomes clear.
Earlier this week I joined MPs calling for Magnitsky sanctions and international efforts to bring these crimes to justice.
I stand with the people of Hong Kong. As your Senator, I’ll continue to speak out on behalf of the oppressed people in Communist China who have their religious freedom, their freedom of expression and their rights trampled by a Marxist regime. #StandWithHongKong

#HongKongers: as the situation in #HongKong gets darker & darker, I wrote these words for you today 👇
The sun will rise again one day, light will come again and freedom will prevail
For now: hold on to hope, don't give up & let's #FightForFreedom together
#StandWithHongKong
.@JimmyLaiApple’s arrest is another example of how freedom & human rights have been eroded in #HongKong. Although our political opinions may sometimes differ, I admire Jimmy’s courage & his pursuit of freedom & democracy. Now it’s more important than ever to #StandWithHongKong.
🔥🔥 BREAKING UPDATE ON MY CHRISTMAS EVE PROTEST FOR FREEDOM IN CHINA - REVISED PLANS
THREAD:
In view of the Prime Minister's new #Covid_19 restrictions in London, it would not be responsible for me to proceed with my planned protest in a cage outside the Chinese Embassy/
The attacks on Hong Kong’s media just keep getting worse. Arrests, prosecutions, and mass layoffs are troubling signs for the future of press freedom. #StandWithHongKong
