Today RSF staged parallel “funeral protests” outside the Chinese embassies in Paris & Berlin following the closure of #AppleDaily, warning that without concrete action by democracies, the death of press freedom in #HongKong could follow.

Whether you agree with @appledaily_hk’s stance or not, this is truly heartbreaking. The end of an era, an era of which Hong Kong was allowed to express different opinions. Now this has gone and what’s left for #HongKong 💔
Beijing isn't addressing forced labor in Xinjiang. It's doubling down on it by stoking domestic boycotts against western companies that make public statements about not sourcing from Xinjiang: H&M and Nike
https://t.co/RhLnr0gBeN
Chinese consumers are being urged not to buy from H&M, Nike and other retailers as part of an international row over Beijing’s treatment of its Uighur minority in Xinjiang, which has been condemned as genocide https://t.co/6eYwbAxu4e
H&M does the right thing by not buying cotton from China's Xinjiang region, given Beijing's massive use of Uyghur Muslim forced labor. Now Beijing threatens to retaliate, trying to export its flouting of human rights standards to the rest of the world. https://t.co/gFJuuMS8Q6
Nike, UNIQLO, H & M, Adidas and other well-known foreign brands have been splashing dirty water on Xinjiang related issues for no reason, boycotting cotton produced in Xinjiang, China. The root of all this comes from a fraud organization called BCI.
H&M and Nike's statements on Xinjiang forced labour are from 2020. It's no surprise that this manufactured social media boycott coincides w/ this week's CN sanctions on Europe, and two lawsuits by Xinjiang companies against the BBC and Adrian Zenz -- precisely over forced labour.
I never thought I would ever write this line: "Solidarity with Nike!" Nike faces social media storm in China over Xinjiang statement https://t.co/nX3jzGYTU8
1/ Now Chinese-owned online platforms are taking down H&M, because of its act of cutting ties with cotton produced by forced labor in East Turkistan.

47 #HongKong democrats have been charged with subversion under the #NationalSecurityLaw and will appear in court today. We condemn the mass arrest and call upon 🌐governments and civil organizations to #StandWithHongKong and confront the CCP with concrete actions!
No matter rainy or sunny, no matter dawn or dark, #Hongkongers stand in solidarity to #FightForFreedom. It's cold & rainy, but ppl still wait for the Correctional Services Vehicles & chanted Release Political Prisoners, Justice Be Done!

.#HongKong 47 pro-democracy activists have been going through 3 days & nights bail hearings, with NO shower, NO change of clothes, NO sufficient rest & NO proper meal breaks. Ambulances kept in & out of the court to send defendants feeling unwell. #inhumane

The arrest of pro-democracy activists in #HongKong is unacceptable & absurd. People must be allowed to exercise their democratic rights.
The EU must not reward these continued repressions, but they must have clear consequences
#StandWithHongKong
