Thailand has scheduled the refoulment of 48 Uyghurs to China for tomorrow (27th feb) According to WUC, who are calling for the deportation to be cancelled. www.uyghurcongress.org/en/press-rel...

Several reports suggest that the 43 Uyghurs in Suan Plu detention center are being deported to China today, in violation of international law. Trucks are at Suan Plu now. Journalists are being prevented from filming or approaching the center.

All five of them! The five HK women that China put a bounty on, hunting them around the globe. Event on March 4, 2025

Very sharp and fun read, with a point that bears repeating: "What survives of the past isn’t a representative sample of what existed."

🚹 #HongKong's Democratic Party, founded in 1994, may convene this week to discuss future plans, inc. potential disbandment. They have discussed disbanding before, but several ex-leaders and even the party's founder were unaware this time. Comes days after HKPORI said it may shutter.

#China jails lawyer Liu Yao for 20 years. His "crime?" Defending farmers' land use rights, exposing gov official corruption, rescuing children from trafficking - in short, fighting for justice, rule of law, and human rights.

how on earth does a school within a college within a university "accrue debt"? doesn't that just mean the university was underfunding them?

On Friday, hundreds of transgender and queer New Yorkers and their allies gathered outside the Stonewall Inn to declare that a brazen act of historical revisionism from the Trump administration would not stand. Here's what I saw and heard over about 10 interviews: www.huffpost.com/entry/stonew...
