@RFA_UyghurNews RT by @badiucao: Uyghurs Commemorate the First Anniversary of Urumchi Fire. #UrumqiFire #Uyghurs #UrumchiFire https://nitter.hongkongers.net/RFA_UyghurNews/status/1727688464181714972#m

I can't be at the @UyghurStop vigil in London tonight to commemorate the terrible #UrumchiFire a year ago, as I am flying home from Canada. But I am with the #Uyghurs in spirit and in solidarity, and join with them in demanding #justice. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1728144551099965588#m

The White House expressed support for peaceful protests popping up around #China — but administration officials did not say whether #Beijing should change the strict “zero-COVID” policies that drove the weekend demonstrations.
