(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.

(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.
