Starting now. A group of us are blocked from entering the room for now because Chinese GONGOs are occupying the few NGO seats available. We will still follow this review.

I'll be tweeting here. Brazil recommends stopping the application of the death penalty, praising China's development.

Chinese lawyer #JiangTianyong @jiangty02
left prison exactly 3 years ago. Yet, he still can't move or communicate freely.

Today, he completes an arbitrary supplemental sentence of 'deprivation of political rights', yet Chinese govt still harasses him.

Thread 🧵 Jiang Tianyong's 'release' is a key example of the phenomenon of 'non-release release', documented by civil society: upon completing jail sentences, human rights lawyers are put under de facto house arrest, constant surveillance and harassment, unable to reunite with the family.
