Time to revisit the scene when a volunteer medic was struck in the eye in a protest in Tsim Sha Tsui, as pro-Beijing media say she lied about her injury. One of the bloodiest scenes during the 2019 Hong Kong protests, the video was taken on 11 August 7.25 pm. #HongKongProtests
This morning, for my first #FridayForFreedom I protested in front of the Chinese Embassy in Brussels.
I am so proud of seeing people from all over the world participating in our action to defend #HongKong's freedom.
Take a stance to #FreeHongKong: https://t.co/t1Mw1waNRz
The arrests of @JimmyLaiApple, his sons, @chowtingagnes & the police raid of @AppleDaily_hk are outrageous assaults on human rights & freedom of the press in #HongKong.
They should be freed immediately. International action is urgently needed to support the Hong Kong people!
Disappointed to see Jimmy Lai & other pro-democracy activists arrested, further eroding #HongKong’s freedom of the press, the rule of law, human rights, & democracy. #Taiwan along with democracies around the world will stand with #HKers who fight hard for values we all cherish.
I’m honoured to be amongst the list of parliamentarians and legislators from around the world who aren’t afraid to stand up for human rights, rule of law, freedom & democracy. #StandWithHongKong
I have enormous respect for you @joshuawongcf, @nathanlawkc and all the other freedom and democracy change agents in HK. I can’t imagine what kind of political pressure you’re now experiencing. But here is some good energy from Copenhagen all the way to HK #FiveDemandsNotOneLess
Antigovernment protesters in Hong Kong ignored social distancing restrictions on Sunday as they poured onto the streets to oppose China's push to impose security laws seen as a threat to Hong Kong's freedoms. https://t.co/Ow1SHTVmVO
The United States condemns the PRC proposal to impose national security legislation on Hong Kong and strongly urges Beijing to reconsider. We stand with the people of Hong Kong.
For too long #China Communist Party has gotten away with imprisoning over a million Uighurs & other ethnic minorities in concentration camps - and using them to make products! Proud to cosponsor this bill to stand up to #China’s abuses https://t.co/g7qnR3tHoh
“The IPCC report is a shocking whitewash which shows that there is no viable mechanism in Hong Kong to ensure accountability either for police brutality or police complicity with violence by criminal thugs" - quoted in @guardian#HongKong

I applaud the Senate for passing the #UyghurHumanRightsPolicyAct.
We must continue shedding light on the human rights violations by the Chinese Communist Party. The Uyghurs are being imprisoned simply for their religion and it must end.
