36 years ago today, thousands of courageous students, workers and others filled Tiananmen Square, demanding freedom, democracy, and a government that served its people. The Chinese government responded with tanks, bullets, and blood.

Hong Kong's banning of a “seditious” mobile app shows the absurdity of the city's national security laws + the paranoia of those enforcing them. While this game is a fantasy, the reality for Hongkongers is intensifying self-censorship and threats to their freedom of expression.

We welcome the release of Rima Hassan & 5 of Freedom Flotilla Coalition crew. We look forward to the safe release & return of Pascal Maurieras & Yanis Mhamdi. They should never have been intercepted or detained by Israel. The EU’s weak response shows an alarming disregard for human rights 🧵
