Important from @yingyuchen9 on impact of #Boston jury decision to acquit a man accused of being a #China agent despite strong evidence of him harassing & intimidating @thecfhk's @frances_hui & other #HongKong democracy activists #TransnationalRepression bostonglobe.com/2025/07/18/opi…
6 years ago today: here's how the #YuenLongAttack unfolded. It wasn’t just thugs with rods, it was state-enabled terror against innocent protesters. A night when the #HongKong police abandoned their duty & their dignity but #HK reporters like #GwynethHo showed the value of…
👏👏
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…
.#HongKong government, glad to have your attention. If British citizen #JimmyLai is receiving "suitable" care, why not allow 🔸Consular access for @UKinHongKong? 🔸Independent medical assessment? 🔸Political access for UK govt officials? #FreeJimmyLai info.gov.hk/gia/general/20…
🧵1/ @josiahmortimer's great piece says British Lords Neuberger & Hoffman are under fire for serving on a #HongKong court that persecutes democracy advocates and for swearing an oath to a #China-run territory... bylinetimes.com/2025/07/17/bri…
📖Thanks to @LibraryFloyd for hosting @MarkLClifford to talk about the #HongKong he loves, how #JimmyLai embodies #HK's entrepreneurial spirit & his impact on its fight for #democracy. #FloydMemorialLibrary #FreeJimmyLai #DemocracyMatters youtube.com/watch?v=A6dUJT…
We welcome a bipartisan letter from @committeeonccp @CmteOnCCPDems calling for U.S. Sec of State @SecRubio to consider sanctions against #HongKong police chief Joe Chow 周一鳴 thecfhk.org/cfhk-foundatio…
Text of @DavidLammy's reply to Blair McDougall MP @CommonsForeign about sanctioning those responsible for wrongful detention of #JimmyLai Lammy says it would be a "catastrophe" if Jimmy Lai were to die in prison & he expects to see 🇨🇳 Foreign Minister Wang Yi "shortly"…
🚨Sanctioned by @StateDept, #HK Justice Sec Paul Lam's 'Whitewash Repression' tour continues with meetings in #Paris with @FATFNews "#HongKong has always supported the FATF’s work to tackle money laundering & terrorist financing to maintain the stability of the international…
Important from @dannydvincent on daily life of #China #HumanRights lawyer Wang Quanzhang - being followed by 5 nameless men every time you leave your home This is how #HK activists feel - overseas, the surveillance is unseen but the feeling is similarly chilling #709crackdown
Ten years after China’s crackdown on legal activism, lawyers say they are still being targeted. Our report 🎥👇 #China #709crackdown #wangquanzhanng
This is why the UK Labour government needs to act quickly to follow through on its commitment to introduce a special envoy for complex hostage affairs like @StateSPEHA. It would be invaluable in cases like the Foremans in #Iran and #JimmyLai in #HongKong.
The APPG sent a letter to @DavidLammy @FCDOGovUK calling for the Government to urgently secure the release of British citizens Craig and Lindsay Foreman, and to strengthen their support to the family while they remain in arbitrary detention in Iran ⬇️

🙏Thank you to @TheTroubleClub and Ellie Newton for hosting @Chloe_chc_25 at @MagicCircleHQ in #London and allowing her to share her story. "I will never stop fighting for freedom in #HongKong because that is what the authorities want me to do. It's my way of fighting back."💪
. @CIJ_ICJ Unbelievable that you would publicise meeting Paul Lam, sanctioned by @StateDept for his oppression in #HongKong. Lam is behind Hong Kong’s most high-profile national security prosecutions: #HongKong47, the #AppleDaily 7 (inc #JimmyLai) & #Tiananmen vigil organisers.
NEWS: HE Paul Lam, Secretary for Justice of #HongKong, visited the Court yesterday. Welcomed by President Iwasawa, Judge Xue & Deputy-Registrar Fomété, he expressed interest in strengthening collaboration with the #ICJ.
Today at the Symposium marking the 10th anniversary of the #709Crackdown, CFHK’s @frances_hui, author of the report “Hostile Takeover,” joined Rep. Chris Smith @CECCgov & leading experts to examine China's #ReligiousFreedom & alarming threats to religious communities in…
Shame on you @PCA_CPA Secretary-General @Marcin_Czepelak Paul Lam is an architect of legal repression, responsible for prosecuting political prisoners like #JimmyLai Holding #PCA arbitration in #HK is a terrible idea that will bring the PCA into disrepute
🔹 #PCA News | Meeting with the Secretary for Justice of the #HongKong SAR 🔹 🏛️ On 7 July, #PCA Secretary-General @Marcin_Czepelak had the honour of receiving a delegation from the Department of Justice of the Hong Kong SAR, headed by Mr. Paul Lam, GBS, SC, JP, Secretary for…
🧵1/What are you thinking @davidvanweel,@HCCH_TheHague, @PCA_CPA, @CIJ_ICJ? #ICJ Did you really meet with Paul Lam, who was sanctioned by @StateDept in March for undermining #HongKong's autonomy and repressing #HongKongers at home and overseas? news.now.com/home/local/pla…
Today, we mark the July 1 1997 handover of #HongKong by the UK to #China In the video, the @BritishArmy 1st Battalion @scots_guards Regiment perform a slow march, usually reserved for funerals, commemorating the end of Hong Kong's freedom #GlorytoHongKong youtube.com/watch?v=Wv6f3l…
As Marie Woolf writes in @globeandmail, #HongKong's colonial sedition law targets journalists to crush #PressFreedom. Those charged under national security laws, like #JimmyLai, are held in pre-trial detention for an average of 11 months. theglobeandmail.com/politics/artic…
Great piece from @CPJAsia that draws a direct connection between the collapse of #PressFreedom in #HongKong @RSF_inter & the city's demise as an international financial centre. You cannot make good business decisions without accurate information. cpj.org/2025/06/why-a-…
