Like many union workers around the world, Hongkongers used to march on the street on Labor Day. In this heartfelt blog, Christopher Mung recalled his days marching in #HongKong along w/ 3 other labor rights activists who are currently sitting behind bars.

On the first of May, #LabourDay , Our hearts go out to all the brave souls who are now in jail because of their labour rights movements.

Fighting for rights is not a crime! Release them NOW!

When this passes and becomes a reality let’s dust off the campaign to name the Chinese Embassy in US street #LiuXiaoboPlaza .

Thank you China Commission Chair Smith & Tom Suozzi for introducing this legislation to rename the street in front of the #HKETO building in DC in #JimmyLai 's name. We will not let the #HongKong govt get away with the imprisonment of over 1800 protesters and activists, inc/ Jimmy.

Thank you China Commission Chair Smith & Tom Suozzi for new legislation designating the area outside the U.S. HKETO office as 'Jimmy Lai Way.' It sends a strong message to Beijing & #HongKong that we will not rest until #JimmyLai & other political prisoners in HK are released

Catalyzed by an idea from Hudson Institute's Nina Shea, this bill introduced by Rep. Chris Smith China Commission & Tom Suozzi seeks to rename the street outside the #HKETO in DC as 'Jimmy Lai Way.' I am thrilled to help develop this w/ my colleague The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation.

Sure, TikTok can go to court and the world will see even more evidence of how it is sharing users’ data to ByteDance and the CCP.

The verdict (meaning, conviction) in the “sedition” case against Stand News editors has been delayed again. They were first arrested in December 2021, remanded to prison for nearly a year, and have now been waiting 2.5 years to resolve this and move on. thewitnesshk.com/%E7%AB%8B%E5%A…

🚨 The Senate has voted 79-18 to divest TikTok from CCP control.

Onto President Biden’ desk ✍️

I hope Secretary Dan Kritenbrink raised wt was discussed in his meeting w/ me & others who have bounties placed on us by the #HongKong gov. Human rights shld be prioritized in US-China dialogues. China needs to be held acctable for wt happens in HK, Tibet, East Turkistan & China.

'Justice is not optional.'

Sophie Richardson enriches the discussion with recommendations for the newly launched #UyghurCaucus - eg. reporting on asylum approval process & slave labor export ban & build pathways for accountability for this crime of humanity to be investigated.

A great honor to be present at the launch of the Congressional Uyghur Caucus under the leadership of Rep. Chris Smith & Tom Suozzi. S/o to Campaign For Uyghurs Rushan Abbas Dolkun Isa for their relentless advocacy. Congress needs to hear the voices of human rights defenders like them.
