CHPSRERT @Reaproy: Must reading to understand the sheer intensity and depth of #China's rights abusing repression of ethnic #Uyghurs & #Kazakhs in #Xinjiang. Fantastic reporting & discovery by the journalists in the @ICIJorg http://bit.ly/2rpx63J http://bit.ly/2KSe5xC http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199925289381314560

CHPSRERT @MorganeOgerBC: Congratulations to BC's transit workers on your successful collective bargaining. Another sign that this important process works as it should and that unions are good for workers. #bclab #canlab #bcpoli http://bit.ly/2q1M0No http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199909141935878149

CHPSRERT @ICIJorg: "There is no longer any excuse for silence. The documents show everything very clearly. The documents bring more international attention, more international pressure to the Chinese government." – @Dolkun_Isa responds to #ChinaCables http://bit.ly/34nvHt7 http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199909096108916736

CHPSRERT @astroehlein: Volkswagen has a factory in Xinjiang… …where China imprisons some 1 million people for their religion. VW says its 2012 decision to open the plant was "based purely on economics." "We do not assume any of our employees are forced laborers." Oh. http://bit.ly/33xKWyA http://bit.ly/2L0l8EJ http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199908460990627840

CHPSRERT @ICRC: That’s why we use a reverse burden of proof. Working in conflict zones, we presume sexual violence occurs unless proven otherwise. This means we don’t have to wait to start our response, thereby giving people more opportunities for people to get help and to recover from it. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199743749850451968

CHPSRERT @ICRC: Why is this? Swedish politician Margot Wallström puts it frankly: “Every rape – even in the midst of war – is a crime that can be commanded, condoned or condemned”. Sexual violence is rooted in structural inequalities. It is an abuse of power. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199743737770807296

CHPSRERT @ICRC: Despite this, we know sexual violence happens worldwide. There is little or no data, which means its true extent is unknown. For instance, 66% of survivors interviewed by @HRW didn’t report their assault to authorities or humanitarian organizations. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199743728518197249

CHPSRERT @ICRC: Preventing sexual violence is one of the oldest rules of war. Sexual violence was punished by death in the Lieber Code, first modern code on the law of war, written in 1863. The 1949 Geneva Conventions and their Additional Protocols also prohibit sexual violence at any time. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199743718305124352

CHPSRERT @ICRC: Not inevitable. Not acceptable. Not an accident. Sexual violence is a crime, whenever and wherever it takes place. Here’s how we’re trying to prevent it and provide care for survivors. http://twitter.com/CHPSRE/status/1199743689884483584
