[Thread] A Chinese student group, likely CSSA, threatened Columbia University to cancel a panel discussion on
#humanrights
in
#hongkong
#tibet
#EastTurkestan
#Uyghurs
and
#China
. And they successfully blocked the discussion. An extreme insult to free speech in this country.
10 yrs ago today in Beijing, I was kidnapped by CCP secret police, put under an extreme form of solitary confinement, physically tortured for 70 days.
Several activists were disappeared too on 2/19/2011. During this
#jasminecrackdown
, hundreds were detained and brutally tortured.
This morning when I was teaching "Human Rights in China", 16 people suddenly appeared in front of my house, holding signs libeling me as a CCP spy. Apparently they are sent by Guo Wengui (Miles Kwok) to harass me because I'm critical of this swindler. 1/n

You don’t have a Chinese passport and don’t live in
#China
. U can be kidnapped by Beijing, tortured, & u ‘voluntarily’ give up ur passport, become a Chinese citizen &confess “crimes” against a "law" u never think of.
Italy's fatal mistake was in trusting

's regime. Instead of checking everyone -- Chinese or Italian -- returning from China since January, Italy kept its borders open.

Teng biao: “For Chinese human rights defenders, there is zero logical consistency to supporting Trump.”
“I am a good friend and [former] lawyer of Chen Guangcheng’s, but I completely oppose what he is doing.”
I just delivered my speech at
#UN
Human Rights Council, requesting the High Commissioner to investigate
#UyghurGenocide
and human rights violations.
#HRC46
Bachelet’s
#China
visit has not made the situation of millions of
#uyghurs
better, but highly likely made it WORSE. Because it became complicit in the CCP’s atrocities and propaganda.
