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.

“Montréal is lost”: Journalist doesn’t feel safe covering pro-terror protesters that police “babysit” every week. In Toronto, three synagogues were just attacked by gunfire.
In Canada today, the jihadi mobs get police protection. Jews and journalists have to fend for themselves.
@TLNewmanMTL: “The group ‘Montreal for Palestine’ calls for jihad—like they've done weekly. No politicians in Canada seem to care. News outlets never mention it. Why is that?”
@TLNewmanMTL @MarkJCarney @PierrePoilievre @francoislegault @csiscanada @rcmpgrcpolice @SPVM 3/ Pro-Jihadis rally openly on the streets of my beloved hometown Montreal, pledging allegiance to “resistance” in Gaza (Hamas), “resistance” in Lebanon (Hezbollah), and “resistance” in Montreal. This terror supporter should be deported or prosecuted. x.com/ThevoiceAlexa/…
Mr. Secretary-General, when last month the Islamic Republic slaughtered tens of thousands of Iranians in two days, your response was to congratulate the murderers on the Islamic Revolution anniversary while your organization elevated them to multiple U.N. and human rights bodies.
2/ Reminder, @antonioguterres: Less than three weeks ago, on February 11, your UN elected the murderous regime Vice-Chair of the UN Commission for Social Development, which addresses “democracy, gender equality, and ensuring tolerance and non-violence.”
@antonioguterres 3/ Reminder, @antonioguterres: Twelve days ago, on February 16, your organization welcomed Islamic Regime rep Afsaneh Nadipour to start a new term on the U.N. Human Rights Council, as one of 18 experts on its Advisory Committee — addressing women's rights.
BREAKING: U.N. list shows Iran Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi to address U.N. Human Rights Council with Antonio Guterres on Feb. 23.
@antonioguterres, if you don't disinvite this mass murderer, we will be calling on Swiss police to have him arrested for crimes against humanity.
Horrible: “UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has congratulated Iran on the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution in a message to President Masoud Pezeshkian.” en.irna.ir/news/86075281/…
@antonioguterres We are calling on the UN to release this shameful letter of congratulations to the Islamic Regime. It was reported in Iranian regime media but everything about the story sounds authentic, and in line with your past approach. The world needs to know the truth.
3/ Irene Khan has repeatedly showered praise upon the Chinese regime and its Belt and Road Initiative, one of the factors fueling the persecution of Uighurs.

U.N. Human Rights Council “Shamed Into Acting” on Iran, but Deadly Delay Continues
After we called out their inaction for 22 days, the UNHRC is finally slated to meet on Iran's mass murder. Yet shamefully, not until Jan. 23rd. The deadly delay continues. unwatch.org/un-watch-welco…
For 22 days, the UN’s top human rights body has stood silent as Iran’s Islamic regime unleashed a brutal crackdown on peaceful protesters, resulting in thousands of deaths, arbitrary arrests, and widespread torture. /2
Our relentless campaign—exposing the UNHRC’s zero resolutions & utter inaction—has finally forced the Council to convene this critical meeting. This is a victory for the brave Iranian people and for human rights advocates worldwide who refused to let the UN look the other way. /3
