History has been made. The UK has never recognised a genocide whilst it’s occurred, but our parliamentarians recognised the #UyghurGenocide today. Still a long way to go but it is a true privilege to support the #Uyghurs.
The impact of the Tiananmen Square massacre continues to be felt. This June 4th, we remember the victims and those who continue to suffer on their behalf.

#BREAKING For the first time, China sanctions New Zealand MPs for visiting Taiwan, including IPAC Members Laura McClure MP and Duncan Webb MP.
Amidst a string of recent provocations, Beijing continues to escalate its campaign to shrink the world for Taiwanese diplomacy.

📢 "Beijing’s flouting of international shipping norms in pursuit of dubious claims to territorial sovereignty have escalated progressively, partly because they have been met with an inadequate response. This must stop."

CCP deepfakes: "I don't identify with these images at all, and I hope that is a taboo we can break. Because that's not you. That's an image of the CCP.”
Breaking the taboo together. So proud of & grateful to the women coming forward with their stories.❤️ https://t.co/8Vkx77P2rC
Quote from @MPIainDS and @alexsobel:
"Despite increasing global awareness, our own Parliament's declaration of genocide, and the findings of the Uyghur Tribunal, global efforts to hold Beijing accountable have fallen woefully short. The sheer scale of this infrastructure, now holding the highest detention capacity in the world, demonstrates an evolved and calculated campaign of mass imprisonment and cultural erasure.
Together with our cross-party parliamentary colleagues, we have written to the Foreign Secretary and the UK Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief, urging the UK Government to leverage its international platform and take immediate action, including targeted sanctions and stricter supply chain controls to block forced labour."

🚨 New analysis reveals Xinjiang has the highest detention capacity in the world.
Together with cross-party colleagues, IPAC 🇬🇧's @MPIainDS@alexsobel have written to the Foreign Secretary & Special Envoy for Freedom of Religion or Belief to urge action.

Caught up with 🇹🇼 Foreign Minister @chia_lung to discuss @ipacglobal work on Taiwan, and the escalating coercion many IPAC members are facing as a result of their advocacy.
And so it begins… China's military says it drove away Dutch frigate in South China Sea.
In 2016 the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague ruled that China's claims were not supported by international law, a decision Beijing rejects. https://t.co/hGE8uCgDqp
Tony Blair has particular issues he feels strongly about (AI, Geopolitics today etc...). Lots may disagree. What he is right about is the need for a central purpose, mission or idea for this government. Who is the government for, what change will it make for those it is for.
I feel ashamed to see a local politician doing this to catch attention. I condemn such despicable conduct in a very welcoming society. I’ll continue to work hard to strengthen #Taiwan-#India mutual cooperation.
🇹🇼🤝🇮🇳
I am truly appalled at the video posted by Israeli Cabinet Minister Ben-Gvir taunting those involved in the Global Sumud Flotilla.
This violates the most basic standards of respect and dignity in the way people should be treated.
We are in touch with the families of a number of British nationals involved to provide them with consular support.
We have demanded an explanation from the Israeli authorities and made clear their obligations to protect the rights of our citizens and all those involved.
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: The Telegraph can reveal a secret Chinese surveillance platform used to track foreigners, journalists and individuals deemed “of interest” to the state
@sophia_yan explains how the platform's records label her as "trackable" ⤵️
