(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.

They asked again for his release, and the repeal of #RSDL.

Lack of cooperation with U.N. human rights experts and recent threats to ban travel of @IntlCrimCourt personnel provide encouragement to other nations with poor human rights records to ignore and undermine the essential work of int’l human rights mechanisms and judicial bodies.
ACLU calls on the United States to change course and take concrete actions to resume full and meaningful cooperation with all human rights bodies including facilitating official visits to the country. Full statement here: aclu.org/aclus-oral-sta… #HRC40
