V disappointed that Yu Wensheng & Xu Yan have received jail sentences, after being detained on way to meeting at EU Del. I wrote to govt earlier this year on the case. For all #China's talk of value it places on rule of law & human rights, day after day its actions show otherwise

UN Special Rapporteur Mary Lawlor calls for the release of Chinese lawyer #LuSiwei. His arrest, after being refouled back from Laos in 2023, is outrageous. @volker_turk should also publicly echo this call for release. @ISHRglobal

Last week at the General Assembly, #China told me that "all people should enjoy the same human rights & fundamental freedoms". I hope those same rights will be afforded to human rights lawyer Lu Siwei, who was reportedly arrested on 10 October, following his forced return from…
