The strangulation of #AppleDaily ought to be a wake-up call for the free world - the latest in a succession of wake-up calls. I won't stop speaking out, calling out the appeasers, until the democratic world takes action. Here's what I said on 12 June: youtube.com/watch?v=xAEZG5…
Almost finished @wesstreeting's moving memoir His back-story is similar to @JDVance's, even though they have taken different political paths ...and although my politics are different from Wes Streeting's, I prefer his character to that of the VP today amazon.co.uk/One-Boy-Two-Bi…
Hong Kong Watch condemns #HongKong national security police’s latest extraterritorial targeting of 19 Hong Kongers who peacefully exercise their political rights in 🇹🇼, 🇹🇭, 🇦🇺, 🇺🇸, 🇨🇦, 🇬🇧 and elsewhere, through arrest warrants and bounties. Any attempt of #transnationalrepression…
Chinese state-owned companies are enabling the #Myanmar junta's aerial bombardment of civilians—attacks which may amount to serious int'l crimes. #China must end all arms & tech transfers, & production support to the junta NOW! #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar 📎specialadvisorycouncil.org/wp-content/upl…
Yet another round of ridiculous, but dangerous, bounties by the pathetic #CCP regime in #HongKong They have dropped the amount - maybe they’re short of cash - but it’s no less appalling Nat. sec police issue HK$200K bounties for 15 Hongkongers hongkongfp.com/2025/07/25/bre… via @hkfp
Dear @Keir_Starmer @YvetteCooperMP @DanJarvisMBE @DavidLammy : what are you going to do to reassure #HongKongers? Labour ‘risking Hongkongers’ lives’ by reintroducing extradition thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…
Despite my holiday being interrupted by idiotic behaviour by 🇬🇧government over #HongKong extradition policy and insane, immoral decision by 🇺🇸to lift sanctions against #Myanmar’s illegal junta, this was my beautiful view at breakfast this morning!
Tragically the ‘Armageddon scenario’ in #HongKong happened 23 years later Declassified files outline UK plan to evacuate Hongkongers in ‘Armageddon scenario’ after Tiananmen crackdown hongkongfp.com/2025/07/24/dec… via @hkfp
Utterly appalling Every Buddhist in the world ought to be protesting, and every human being - of all religions and none - should be protesting with them #FreeTibet
In Drakgo, Tibet, over 300 Buddhist stupas and sacred statues were destroyed by Chinese authorities (May–June 2025) under Decree No. 22. This crackdown targets Tibetan identity, silences dissent, and escalates cultural genocide. Monks face arrest, and communities live in fear.…

A headline which - despite @DanJarvisMBE’s welcome clarification - no 🇬🇧govt should wish to wake up to @GOVUK @ukhomeoffice must now do everything possible to reassure #HongKongers that this isn’t true Labour opens door to extraditing Hong Kongers telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/…
#FreeJimmyLai
. @caoilfhionnanna discusses the inhumane conditions Jimmy Lai is enduring in solitary confinement and the urgency of his case. The clock is ticking — not only for democracy, but for Jimmy Lai’s life. #FreeJimmyLai

July marks the pain of Myanmar, from the 1947 martyrs' assassination, including my grandfather, Gen. Aung San, to the activists killed today. Since the coup, 1853+ political prisoners have died in custody, including Ma Wut Yee Aung & Ko Pyi Sone Aung. I bow my head in respect.
