Jimmy Lai's trial is a farce. He's being prosecuted under Hong Kong's national security law for activities that are normal & healthy in a democracy. Like tweeting. Or publishing articles. Or advocating with foreign governments about human rights.

Israel held 1000s of Gaza laborers w/o charge in incommunicado detention for weeks after Oct 7, where some were stripped naked & photographed, put in diapers, attacked by dogs, dragged face down in gravel & cuffed for days. Many remain w/o legal status in West Bank. New from Human Rights Watch

Seeking asylum is a fundamental human right. Policies that restrict asylum (like Title 42) have increased irregular crossings and exposed vulnerable people to danger. Biden should make it clear basic human rights are non-negotiable .

Under the shadow of wars in Ukraine & Gaza, refugees have become chips on the Capitol Hill bargaining table. What risks being lost in this high-stakes game is a recognition that fundamental human rights R not negotiable, including the right 2 seek asylum. hrw.org/news/2024/01/0…
