1/ In authoritarian regimes around the world, writing the truth is a luxury that's virtually nonexistent. buff.ly/3gYgydh
2/ Censorship is a common tactic in the authoritarians’ toolkit, and few authoritarian regimes know censorship strategies better than the People’s Republic of China.

The restrictive media environment is nearly as bad as it could be.
3/ In recent years, the repression faced in China and the allure of press freedom have led many journalists to seek refuge in the nearby independent island country of Taiwan.

International journalists, formerly based in Beijing or Hong Kong, have found Taiwan to be a safe haven.

1/ Today, July 30th, is World Day Against Human Trafficking. After two decades of international efforts to end human trafficking and modern slavery, it remains to be a poorly understood global issue. 🧵 Image
2/ While human trafficking affects almost all countries, HRF’s research has consistently found that authoritarianism is at the structural root of human trafficking. buff.ly/2VcIkYf
3/ In the 2021 US Department of States’ Trafficking in Persons report, 89% of the highest-ranking countries in efforts to combat trafficking are democratic, while 100% of the lowest-ranked countries are ruled by authoritarian regimes. buff.ly/3rBf5KK

Cuba has been under authoritarian rule since 1952, when dictator Fulgencio Batista took power.

Let's examine where things stand today 🧵

hrf.org/press_posts/cu…
In Feb. 2019, the 1976 constitution was replaced through an orchestrated referendum process. Approximately 86.9% of the roughly 8 million who voted supported the referendum. But citizens were temporarily detained for either voting “no” or abstaining from voting altogether.
The referendum triggered arbitrary arrests across the country and led to the detention of over 400 citizens, as well as a minimum of “48 acts of harassment and 12 physical attacks.”

Information suppression by authoritarian regimes should come as no surprise.

So why did the international community (and the WHO) take China at its word in regards to the spread of the coronavirus? THREAD

Early coverage of the crisis made clear that the CCP’s authoritarian instincts and internal climate of fear were a direct threat to global health. But on Jan 23, WHO members praised the CCP for its “transparency.”
At @HRF we find it obvious that the CCP isn’t telling the public the full story. How can anyone trust the CCP’s “official” data, given its long history of censorship?
