The anniversary of George Floyd's death is a painful reminder of the generations of violence towards Black people in the United States. Today's about recognizing inequalities that minorities faced, also about pausing, reflecting, grieving, and healing. #BlackLivesMatter #BLM

The arrest of Hang Tung Chow 鄒幸彤 for “promoting unauthorized assembly” on 4 June appears to be yet another attempt to deter people to commemorate the victims of the Tiananmen crackdown. Asking people to light a candle is not a crime. No one should be punished for peaceful expression

Amnesty International condemned the Nigerian government’s suspension of Twitter. We called on the authorities to immediately reverse the unlawful suspensions to gag the media, repress civic space, and undermine Nigerians' freedom of expression and access to information.

Hong Kong: Apple Daily raid, arrests a brazen attack on press freedom amnesty.org/en/latest/news…

Possible imminent shutdown of Hong Kong's Apple Daily following arrests of executives, seizing of journalistic materials + freezing of assets is an alarming development and an ominous moment for press freedom in the city. This is effectively a HK government ban of a newspaper.

Targeting Apple Daily over articles that allegedly breached the National Security Law is a violation of freedom of expression. All restrictions on AD's operations must be lifted immediately. The HK authorities cannot force out media outlets who publish views they don’t like.

Today’s police raid on Hong Kong’s June Fourth museum and yesterday’s arrests of four members of Tiananmen vigil organizer Hong Kong Alliance are the clearest sign yet that remembering the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown will no longer be tolerated in Hong Kong.

The disbandment of Hong Kong's largest union coalition #HKCTU due to safety threats is the latest damning indictment of the shrinking space for freedom of expression and association in the city. Labour rights must always be respected.
