The British government is preparing to override local opposition and approve China’s mega-embassy opposite the Tower of London, after deciding the space is adequate to accommodate protests. Activist groups plan to prove them wrong

Such a worrying erosion of rights for Hong kongers. We know from the treatment of British citizen Jimmy Lai what a suppression of Press freedom is taking place there. Please share. 🙏

The regressive protest laws passed in the UK by the previous gov't gave police have powers to shut a protest for "nuisance". China's proposed mega embassy would be hard to hold even a small protest outside of. (By design) There must be space for protest! NO to the royal mint embassy plan!

No to the Chinese Communist Party's mega-embassy in Westminster!! Prove the government wrong.

Looks like a bunch of HK activists groups based out of UK will be at this protest. Once again, the pan-democracy movement is not dead - it’s found ground to blossom outside the city

This govt says only "small" groups will protest the CCP's mega-embassy in Westminster. Let’s prove them WRONG! Join us to say no to the #CCP's giant embassy development at the Old Royal Mint!! See you on 8th Feb! We must fight for #FreeSpeech!

Jailed media tycoon Jimmy Lai has testified that he thought the Hong Kong police had begun to “twist the facts” after a security law came into effect. In full: https://buff.ly/49E5zN9

“Prince Andrew, Christine Lee and Barry Gardiner have done more in five days to push the issue of Chinese influence up the political agenda than MPs, the media and others have managed in five years,” said Charles Parton, a former UK diplomat in China. “Useful idiots? You bet,” Parton added.

Met police is #SpotOn on objecting the #CCP attempts on their unnecessary request on the UK soil! Police object to plans for Chinese Super Embassy in London by @thetimes.com www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Eric Lai at Georgetown Center for Asian Law said Jimmy Lai’s evidence showed “that the charge of colluding with foreign forces under the NSL was so broad and unreasonable that [it]criminalises ordinary exchange and communications activities with [people]overseas”. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

A brilliant documentary captured the brutal true of what happened to #HongKong since 2019. A film you can't miss if you value freedom, democracy and human rights! We mustn't forget, we mustn't settle!! #RatherBeAshesThanDust youtu.be/QRxnQNCaXzc?...

LATEST from court: Apple Daily aimed to ‘explain’ Hong Kong protesters’ violent actions to preserve movement, Jimmy Lai trial hears buff.ly/3V1N13o

And yet the police budget is at record levels in the same period. 😒 hongkongfp.com/2024/03/01/r...

It's been a very dark week for Hong Kongers around the world. Each sunrise is a new beginning. It's a glimpse of hope for a better day. Sunset is proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully. Hong Kongers, Ga Yau!! 香港人，加油!!

“This is the new Hong Kong. Unjust and disproportionate punishment for dissidents has become commonplace.” My former colleague Chloe Lo on the sentencing of the 45 www.spiked-online.com/2024/11/20/f...

New #HongKong standards: Fighting for freedom, jailed 10yrs; former police sexually assaulted 6 children age 11-14, jailed just 46months. Unjust and disproportionate sentencing for dissidents has become commonplace. #FreeJimmyLai My latest: www.spiked-online.com/2024/11/20/f...

What thin skin. UK prime minister Keir Starmer confronts Xi Jingping on Jimmy Lai and all the Chinese journalists are ordered out of the room

Jimmy Lai is on the stand today. This offers a rare chance to have his voice heard. Lai noted that Apple Daily upheld the value of freedom of speech & hoped the #HongKong people would enjoy such freedom. "The more information you have, the more you are in the know, the more you’re free.” Lai said.

Elsa Wu - adoptive mother of the democrat Hendrick Lui - was arrested outside court on Tuesday. She was holding up a banner that read "Righteous people live, villains must die." Full coverage: hongkongfp.com/hong-kongs-4...

“The EU will continue to closely monitor the situation...” That is the exact language they’ve used since the imposition of the NSL in 2020. Number of concrete (s)a(n)ctions since then? Zero. I’m sure this statement makes Beijing rethink its “red line on human rights and democracy”… NOT. 🙄

After the sentencing of the 45, Jimmy Lai is back in court tomorrow. He must not be forgotten. Keep saying his name. My column (free to read): www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
