Looking forward to helping Geoffrey Robertson QC launch his new book “Plan B for Human Rights” about the Magnitsky movement tomorrow evening at 6pm U.K. time.

Mr. Browder is an incredible HRs activist who've achieved brilliant things for the persecuted people. Democratic govts. should give a very strong signal to Russia that any attack against him would cost a lot for the current Russian leadership. @humanrights1st @HelsinkiComm

China has just sanctioned @EssexCourtLaw for their legal opinion which found China is committing Crimes Against Humanity and Genocide against the Uyghur people. It should be made very clear that UK lawyers will not be influenced by threats or intimidation by repressive states

[Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) @ipacglobal]

#BREAKING

Today the EU 🇪🇺 and the UK 🇬🇧 have announced sanctions on Chinese officials responsible for gross human rights violations against Uyghurs in Xinjiang.

This follows months of campaigning from IPAC members across the UK and the EU. (1/3)

Not a prosecutor but the prosecutor who was appointed by Erdogan filed the case. 15 judges will try the case,
# of 7 were appointed by Erdogan,
# of 3 were elected by AKP through parliamentary majority,
# of 5 were appointed by Gül who is the founder of AKP.
So AKP will try HDP.

[Michael Polak @MichaelPolakLaw]
