@USAmbChina RT by @jooeysiiu: My statement on #HumanRightsDay2023 underscores U.S. support for human rights and condemns the PRC’s abuses in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong, and detention of those who speak out. We call on Beijing to live up to its human rights obligations. https://china.usembassy-china.org.cn/statement-from-u-s-ambassador-nicholas-burns-on-international-human-rights-day-2023/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/USAmbChina/status/1734033086055109012#m

A profoundly important article by @christinalamb on #HumanRightsDay2023 She's right Whatever happened to the initiative @WilliamJHague started to tackle it? Will @David_Cameron revive it?

It's #HumanRightsDay2023 so 1 star = 1 personal opinion or deeply-held belief, piece of trivia, insight, reflection, quote, or quip about human rights #HumanRights75 #StandUp4HumanRights

On International Human Rights Day, let's shift the focus from 'It's my right' to 'What about others' rights?'

Our freedoms are not just personal privileges; they are collective responsibilities. It's time to champion equal rights for all.
