NEW: In light of recent news, let's talk about Canada's forced labour import ban. It's full of holes.
Yesterday, I drove around the GTA — inc to Michael Ma's Markham riding — and found goods made by a sanctioned Xinjiang paramilitary group readily for sale on supermarket shelves

Judging by the context and likely location, these are prisoners from one of the prison facilities in Urumqi's Xinshi District, close to the East Station.
There are 7-8 large prisons there, and labor is an integral part of all Chinese prisons.

Identities of the people directly involved in the December 15, 2013 incident in Konasheher County (reuters.com/article/us-chi…), and what happened to them (as per internal files).
Officials have labeled this as a clash with a "violent terrorist gang", but many questions remain.

A new law in China will formalise a sweeping project to erase much of what remains of its ethnic distinctiveness. It marks a grim milestone econ.st/4loVbPh

This trial is heating up.
A UK immigration officer accused of working for Chinese intelligence allegedly used his access to Home Office's immigration database to find out information about people from Hong Kong who were living in the UK, including dissidents.

在关于羁押期间死亡的内部警方报告中，经常可以看到一种常见模式：
警方并不讨论死亡原因或追究责任问题，而是立即加强对死者家属的监控，并密切观察他们的“情绪状态”。

Today marks 6 years since the death of Tewekkul Rozi (shahit.biz/eng/4280/), a resident of Urumqi. He was detained in 2017-2018 and held in custody in Hotan, where he died at the age of 40.

China prepares landmark law curtailing minority language rights - @FT
One of many developments at the Two Sessions in Beijing that will get overshadowed by the Middle East
Story quotes a report I co-authored, saying the law "will expand the legal basis for restricting religious, cultural and political activities among minority groups"
From the story by @leahyjoseph :
"China is set to enact a landmark law requiring ethnic minorities to use Mandarin Chinese as their main language of instruction, overturning decades-old policies that date back to the era of Mao Zedong.
The new law, which analysts expect to be passed at the annual meeting of China’s rubber-stamp parliament this week, is aimed at 'forging a sense of community in the Chinese nation', according to a draft of the legislation.
It also threatens legal action against anyone, inside or outside China, who undermines 'national unity' or provokes 'separatism'.
The sweeping law marks the latest effort in a 'Sinicisation' campaign under Chinese leader Xi Jinping, which critics say aims to force the country’s dozens of ethnic minorities to assimilate into Han-dominated society in the name of promoting inter-ethnic harmony.
China’s Han majority accounts for about 90 per cent of its population of 1.4bn, but the country recognises 56 official minorities, a dozen languages — some with their own written scripts — and hundreds of dialects.
Under the new Law on Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress, while minority languages may still be taught as a second language, groups such as Tibetans, Uyghurs and Mongolians will no longer be entitled to use their native tongues for core subjects in schools and universities."

The last time two British spies were caught, the Labour government somehow collapsed the trial and all we got was “oops sorry.”
The CCP’s slimy tentacles have strangled British society for decades, grooming spineless elites, politicians, universities, and boardrooms into obedient puppets.
Every single one of these are unabashed globalists, pushing more engagement and business ties to China (deindustiralization), Net Zero, and a borderless world.
What has come to light is merely the tip of a much bigger iceberg. There are more traitors selling Britain out still hiding in plain sight. Smoke ‘em all out.

a Jewish-Ukrainian president shares the Iftar dinner with his Muslim-Ukrainian soldiers. many in the rest of the Free World have been preaching diversity and tolerance, democratic Ukraine is actually practicing it — under the most difficult conditions. Ukraine is future
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський@ZelenskyyUa
I took part in the Iftar. It is a great honor for me. For the thirteenth Ramadan in a row, the Muslim community of Ukraine and the Crimean Tatar people are marking it under difficult conditions – under Russian aggression and Russian strikes. We very much hope that next year Ramadan will be celebrated in peace. And this is what we wish for all peoples who are now in danger – in war. We see what is happening in the Middle East and the Gulf region. We hope that the regime in Iran does not prevail, because it is an anti-human regime, and it spreads war across virtually its entire region – it is important that people and countries succeed in defending themselves and that the war there does not drag on. I thank every state that truly helps protect life – both our lives here in Ukraine and the lives of other peoples. Let us remember: we are all confronting the same evil – those who destroy life, those who despise people. It is no coincidence that Moscow and the regime in Iran have been so close. What unites them is their lack of respect for people. All of us in Europe and in the world must be effective in defending against such regimes – we must be effective so that life prevails. May it be so. Thank you all. We will certainly not forget our people in occupation and in captivity. And we are doing everything so that normal human values prevail over Russian evil.

Chinese ships are vacuuming up ocean life around the world. In Antarctica massive ships like the Fu Yuan Yu 9199 can deplete local sea life. Dramatically dropping penguin reproduction in the areas effected.

Chinese vessel Fu Yuan Yu 9199, largest krill trawler in Antarctica right now is pumping up krill 24/7 from one of Earth’s most fragile regions. They even use drones All this to make fish feed for aquaculture & then spin it into a 'China is a sustainability champion' propaganda

UN experts expressed alarm and deep concern regarding persistent allegations of forced labour affecting Uyghur, Kazakh and Kyrgyz minority groups as well as Tibetans within the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region and across other parts of China.

.@WildPigeonOrg has a timer on its site to mark the minutes since 40 #Uyghur men were deported from Thailand back to China in violation of international law.
February 27th will mark one year since this disaster, and we are still awaiting proof of life.

📢: Statement from @UNHumanRights basically confirms that returned Uyghurs have been put in proverbial black hole
“Families have received no communication, no confirmation of the place of detention or whereabouts, and no indication as to whether their loved ones are even alive”

BBC纪录片《黎智英失去自由前的最后访问》
在采访中，当记者问他是否设想过，生活在家中与身处监狱之间的差别。
黎智英回答：
「在家里，这只是安稳平静地活着。
但如果我在监狱里，我就是有意义地活着。」
在入狱前，黎智英曾被人问起：“你为什么不逃走？你是个有钱人，肯定拥有飞机和一切资源。”
他回答说：“我做不到。”
他完全可以选择抽身而退、一走了之，但他没有。
2020年6月，黎智英在被捕前接受法新社采访时所言：
「我两手空空来到香港，所得一切都归于香港之自由，如今感恩得以生命回报自由。 」
宁鸣而生，不默而死。
李老师不是你老师@whyyoutouzhele
刚刚，香港特区高等法院宣判，黎智英因两项串谋勾结外国势力罪及一项串谋发布煽动刊物罪被判监禁20年。
