Creating a narrative is like creating a mosaic.

Each 🧩 we put down is different but eventually a larger picture - or narrative - starts to form.

If we keep laying down tiles of a similar tone, that tone will end up dominating the bigger picture that we want to create. ImageImage

(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.

(1/10) Wondering what we mean when we say "the UN human rights system"? Not sure what it can do to support #YuWensheng @xuyan709 and other lawyers/HRDs in China?

Let's start with 2018 and see....
(2/10) The Working Group on #EnforcedDisappearances is a group of experts the UN has appointed to examine trends and individual cases, as part of the @UN_SPExperts. In Feb 2018, they wrote directly to the Chinese government to ask about Yu’s whereabouts.
(3/10) Other UN experts – on arbitrary detention, HRDs @ForstMichel and #freedex @davidakaye – also wrote to the Chinese govt to raise concerns. They highlighted RSDL, detention without access to family or a lawyer, at risk of torture.

They asked for a response within 2 months.

Join us! @hrw @hrichina @ICJ_org @LRWCanada
@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
