Tldr: #HongKongers all over the world prove that #HongKong has not given up the #fightforfreedom!

Thank you all for showing up in 17 countries to #standwithHongKong!
Two years ago, #CCP showed us that they have no qualms about cracking down on #HK with violence. We will never forget and never forgive, they must be held accountable. In today's rallies and marches, we made sure history is remembered by holding viewings, photo exhibition and putting up Lennon Walls to tell the world about #CCP's brutality and learn about what happened in Hong Kong between June 2019-2020. We also connected with friends from #Tibet and #EastTurkestan who are oppressed by the same tyrant and marched to show our determination.

HKers in HK are subjected to harsher crackdown everyday, but so many are still keeping their faith and fighting for democracy. The world sees it and are standing with us!

Broadcasters urged to cancel plans to cover #Beijing #WinterOlympics
//Some of the world’s largest broadcasters including American network #NBC are being asked by human rights groups to cancel plans to cover next year’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Winter Games are scheduled to open on Feb. 4, 2022.
The request comes in an open letter from rights groups representing minorities in China, including #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, #HongKong residents and others.
The letter, obtained by the Associated Press, was sent Tuesday to NBC Universal chief executive officer Jeff Shell and other international broadcast executives. NBC is paying $7.75 billion for the rights to the next six Olympics and works closely as a partner with the Switzerland-based International Olympic Committee.
Those payments are estimated to account for up to 40% of the IOC’s total income. The letter says the broadcasters risk “being complicit” in the “worsening human rights abuses” in China.
The letter comes just days after the delayed Summer Olympics and Paralympics wrapped up in Tokyo, putting the focus on the IOC and its choice of Beijing.//

Australia set to pass new laws that provide powers to sanction human rights abusers
//Laws allowing Australia to slap sanctions on human rights abusers, cyber attackers and corrupt officials are set to be enshrined after passing the Senate.
The so-called Magnitsky style laws, which would allow the Australian government to directly target sanctions against individuals or entities, passed the upper house on Wednesday.
The reforms would allow financial sanctions to be imposed against perpetrators of serious human rights violations - without having to establish a country-specific approach.
Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching - who has advocated for the laws to be adopted - said the new powers were needed to punish human rights abusers and hold criminals to account.
"In a modern age of regimes run by the dregs of humanity (who) torture and jail and murder their own citizens ... if you believe in the dignity of human beings you can't allow such evil to go on unchallenged," she said.
The laws will be reviewed by a joint parliamentary committee after three years.//
