(1/10) ICYMI: we marked yesterday, 2 yrs since Chinese lawyer #YuWensheng's disappearance in 2018, with a round-up of how the int'l community took steps to call for for accountability. But wait - there was more in 2019!

Follow/RT to join our call on China to #FreeYuWensheng.
(2/10) #YuWensheng received the Franco-German human rights prize - accepted by @xuyan709 - in January, and many govts called for China to release detained HRDs and lawyers at #HRC40 in March. This kind of visibility and pressure is key - and the more countries join, the better.
@xuyan709 (3/10) And remember the letter UN detention experts sent in 2018? Well, unsatisfied with the response, in 2019 they considered Yu Wensheng’s case and ruled it to be an ***arbitrary detention under international law***.
They asked again for his release, and the repeal of #RSDL.

@badiucao @hrw @hrichina @ICJ_org @LRWCanada Two years ago today, on 19 January, Lawyer #YuWensheng was taking his son to school when he was suddenly taken away by nearly a dozen law enforcement officers.
@badiucao @hrw @hrichina @ICJ_org @LRWCanada During years of work to advance human rights and democracy in China, Lawyer Yu had experienced various harassment, including the revocation of his legal license in early January 2018. #FreeYuWensheng
