The Beijing 2022 Collection depicts the regime’s oppression of the Tibetan people, the Uyghur genocide, the dismantling of democracy in Hong Kong, the regime’s omnipresent surveillance systems, and lack of transparency surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each of the five works will be minted as 2022 editions, and collectors will have the opportunity to write their own message of opposition to China’s authoritarian regime onto the blockchain as part of the minting process, preserving it as a public decentralized record of protest.
This collection is a collective act of censorship resistance and fundraiser that will donate 10% of proceeds to the Art in Protest Residency, a collaboration between the Gray Area Foundation for the Arts and the Human Rights Foundation. grayarea.org/press/chinese-…
.@Badiucao is an exiled Chinese dissident artist based in Australia whose work includes political cartoons, installations, street art, and performances. His art is renowned for denouncing human rights abuses and the suppression of free speech in China.

Badiucao’s Beijing 2022 collection on display at the artist’s solo exhibition in Brescia in November 2021, one of the artist’s few international shows which was not canceled in spite of pressure and demands from the Chinese Embassy in Rome.

1/ On Sky News, I explained how the UN and global media spread a deadly lie: 14,000 babies were “about to die” in Gaza. A total lie. No basis. No fact-checking. Just the latest blood libel dressed up as a humanitarian message by a top UN official and broadcast around the world.
2/ The Total Lie started early. Ten days after the October 7th Hamas massacre, media headlines screamed “Israel bombs Gaza hospital, kills 500.” A total lie. It was Islamic Jihad. The blast hit a parking lot. But the lie was spread by the UN, Amnesty & Canadian FM Melanie Joly.
3/ Why do such lies flourish? Many in the world want it. Newsrooms rush to fill a reserved spot on their front pages for the headline “Israel kills innocents.” Their fact verification systems short circuit. The public rarely hears the corrections. Only the slander sticks.

KHAN OUT, KHAN IN: ICC swaps one morally corrupt prosecutor with another. Karim Khan stepped down over allegations he raped his employee repeatedly—and indicted Israeli leaders to divert attention. Now Deputy Prosecutor Nazhat Khan replaces him. But I saw how unethical she is: 🧵Image
Image
When she used to chair UN Human Rights Council sessions, Nazhat Khan violated freedom of speech to appease the world's worst tyrannies. Here she is cutting me off after a few seconds—as demanded by Cuba & the PLO—after I tried to simply read out the names of tyrannies who spoke.
Two years before Oct. 7, when I warned that UNRWA teachers glorify Hitler & incite hatred of Jews, Nazhat Khan cut me off. She said I made “derogatory, insulting & inflammatory remarks”—by quoting their own posts. “This amounts to personal attacks. The statement is out of order.”

Dear Secretary-General @antonioguterres: This is legal notice that the purported renewal of Francesca Albanese as “Special Rapporteur on human rights in the Palestinian territories” was unlawful, and is therefore null and void. Her terms ends Wednesday: 🧵 unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…Image
Image
2/ As you know, her purported renewal, announced at the conclusion of the 58th session of the Human Rights Council, was carried out illegally, in direct contravention of HRC Presidential Statement 8/PRST/2—adopted by consensus in 2008, and enshrined in Art. 7 of the Manual of Operations of the Special Procedures—which imposes a clear and binding obligation: “The President of the Human Rights Council will convey to the Council information brought to his or her attention… concerning cases of persistent non-compliance by a mandate-holder” with the Code of Conduct, particularly in advance of reappointments. International law experts have deemed 8/PRST/2 one of the Council’s four “institution building texts.” Contempt for this core rule carries consequences.
3/ As you are aware, a formal submission with a 56-page dossier documenting Ms. Albanese’s gross and systematic violations of that Code—including breaches of impartiality, integrity, and restraint—was submitted by United Nations Watch to the President of the Council on 26 March 2025, receipt of which was duly acknowledged by the President’s office. In addition, letters to the President were filed by the Governments of Argentina, Hungary, and Israel, as well as by the Chairman of the U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee, who called on the President to exercise his “sworn duty to utilize [his] authority as stated in Presidential Statement 8/2 (PRST/8/2) to ‘convey to the Council any information brought to [his] attention concerning cases of persistent non-compliance by a mandate-holder...’”Astonishingly, in violation of his duties and of the prescribed legal procedure, the President refused to do so. Likewise, the Council violated its own duty to “consider such information” and to “act upon it as appropriate.”

STUNNING REVERSAL: 🇺🇸 U.S. Department of Justice Strips UNRWA of Immunity. “The complaint alleges atrocious conduct on the part of UNRWA. The Government believes they must answer these allegations in American courts. The prior Administration’s view that they do not was wrong.”
🧵Image
Image
2-3: “UNRWA has not been designated by the President under the International Organizations Immunities Act of 1945. UNRWA is not subject to the Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, and is not immune from suit under that treaty or current U.S. law.” Image
Image
4-5: Even assuming that “subsidiary organs” also qualify as part of the “United Nations,” and are thus entitled to immunity under the General Convention, UNRWA still falls outside the ambit of that protection because it is not a subsidiary organ. Image

BREAKING: The President of the UN Human Rights Council is reportedly planning to evade his legal duty to convey to the plenary our objection to the reappointment of Francesca Albanese (per HRC 8/PRST/2) by claiming that her violations of the Code of Conduct are not “persistent.” Image
Image
2/ Any refusal to convey our objection to Albanese’s reappointment by claiming her violations aren’t “persistent” would be a specious excuse. The President's duty under 8/PRST/2 is to transmit, not judge. In any case, our 60-page dossier shows clear persistent misconduct.
3/ Here are 60 pages of Francesca Albanese's grave, numerous and indeed non-stop violations of the Code of Conduct from the moment she took office in May 2022 until October 2024:

For more examples of her wild vitriol, just check out @FranceskAlbs.unwatch.org/wp-content/upl…

Antisemitism Leads to Madness: Leftist Irish politician Clare Daly, an avowed feminist, covers herself in Islamic garb to join pro-Iran Jihadis at Houthi conference in Yemen that repeatedly called for “Death to America! Death to Israel! A Curse Upon the Jews! Victory to Islam.”
You can also see Clare Daly in front row on the far left joining the Jihadi crowd to shake her fist in approval as the speaker, a former ANC MP who converted to Islam to marry his fourth wife, chants “Viva Hamas” & “Viva Hezbollah.”
3/ For a feminist, Irish left-wing politician Clare Daly seems to repeatedly enjoy covering herself in religious Islamic garb. Here she is falsely praising Iraq's Popular Mobilisation Forces for their “egalitarian nature” and “inclusiveness”: Image
