A privilege as always to meet with the remarkable Sebastien Lai. His father Jimmy Lai must be released, his politically motivated trial must end and the National Security Law in Hong Kong must be repealed. That must be the UK Government’s unambiguous aim and it needs to pull

CCP elite capture in action, folks. Chinese sponsored British sportswoman and socialite reduced to tweeting about her visits to BYD factories and trolling China critical accounts. “My fav is the U8 and bao 8…all reasonably priced”

Another story detailing the tightening grip of national security police on #HongKong and the alignment of its now corrupted legal system with #Beijing. Are you listening, foreign judges on Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal - James Allsop, William Gummow, Lennie Hoffman, David

thepost.co.nz/world-news/360…. A disgrace that #NewZealand judge William Young is helping whitewash repression in #HongKong by serving on Court of Final Appeal. 1st NZ judge in 10 years on CFA. Foreign judges must stop lending prestige to persecution in Hong Kong and quit the CFA now.

🗞️ Today marks 4 years since the forced closure of Apple Daily, the fearless Hong Kong newspaper founded by #JimmyLai that stood as a beacon of truth in an increasingly silenced city. For 26 years, Apple Daily went where others feared to tread — exposing corruption, defending

#HongKong is a poorer place with the loss of #AppleDaily and the death of a free press. #JimmyLai and six other colleagues remain in jail.

Criminal -- literally -- that the government stole this building and a publicly listed company from #JimmyLai and other shareholders. I was a director of #NextDigital when this theft occurred. Meanwhile, HK courts blessing this property seizure. HK: No Global Financial Center.

Good to see the strong statement on Hong Kong and call for immediate release of Jimmy Lai and Chow Hang-Tung: China: 40th Human Rights Dialogue with the European Union takes place in Brussels | EEAS eeas.europa.eu/eeas/china-40t…

Excellent piece by former #AppleDaily columnist @BenedictRogers on how much #HongKong has lost with the shuttering of the newspaper 4 years ago. No #FreePress in Hong Kong.

In #HongKong, Paul Lam's a key implementer of abusive "national security" laws & leader of crackdown on HKers' human rights. He's sanctioned by US. But Dutch Sec General of Minstry of Justice & Security meets him in Netherlands. Democratic gov'ts mustn't meet HK gov't officials.

This is a systemic evisceration of judicial sovereignty, perpetrated by erstwhile luminaries of the bench—once-venerated jurists now willingly prostituting their professional ethos, cynically genuflecting to a totalitarian regime. These once-illustrious arbiters have transformed

A Billion People Gone? That Might Be Conservative. New data shows even the worst forecasts—80–100 million fewer people by 2035, a billion by 2100—may still be too mild. Just days ago, I posted on China’s population collapse: 🔗 x.com/desmondshum/st… Now, fresh numbers from

#JimmyLai is serving a 5-year, 9-month prison sentence on fraud charges from an office lease-HK government claims this was a purely commercial matter that had nothing to do with politics. Can #UKGovernment promise that HKers won't be extradited on similar 'non-political' charges?
