9 years ago, PRC agents renditioned Swedish citizen and #HongKong bookseller #GuiMinhai from Thailand. His forced TV confession & arbitrary detention are reminders of the PRC’s aggressive efforts to curtail fundamental freedoms. Advocacy for his release must continue, say Chairs.
Come on @DavidLammy - be bold, seize the moment to speak out on #Tibet and challenge #China over its #humanrights abuses - show this new @UKLabour government can be a positive force for change and an example for other governments to follow.
Activists from Free Tibet and VTAG UK, as well as members of the Tibetan Community in Britain assembled outside the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office to send a clear message:
@DavidLammy STAND UP FOR TIBET‼️

5/6 @davidlammy, your meetings this week offer their own challenge: should you return to the UK with promises of jobs and investment but without taking a stand for #Tibet, you will have sold out Tibetans and their #humanrights including those who are UK citizens
6/6 On the other hand @davidlammy, if you're bold and seize the moment to speak out on #Tibet & challenge #China, you will show that this new @UKLabour government can be a positive force for change and an example for other governments to follow. #DoTheRightThing
