#HongKong politicians and law enforcement stoop to new lows, targeting books and booksellers (see: #GuiMinhai and others, 2015, Causeway Bay Books).
Key point: moves like these are in stark tension with #HongKong's obligations under #ICCPR.

Eileen Gu's status obviously violates Chinese "law."
It reminds us of China's shameful behavior to Sweden's #GuiMinhai (sole citizen, not dual, for decades).
They kidnapped and paraded him, sentenced him in secret, then claimed to have stolen his citizenship.
They're full of contempt for all law.
Thanks. Interesting.
How about CGTN?
(The main international China state channel, the one that broadcast forced confessions from my fellow Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai after they kidnapped him from Thailand, and a British citizen, for which they were fined and temporarily banned in Britain)
🇨🇳 #Kina | "I januari 2025, när #KKP svarade på FN:s utredning ang. #GuiMinhai: s fall, vägrade de fortfarande att avslöja hans status. Utöver påtvingat försvinnande, berövande av rätten till en rättvis rättegång, berövas han sannolikt nödvändig medicinsk vård, vilket utgör tortyr." #Sverige #Sweden⤵️
The govt of #China can keep trying to defend the indefensible. But the fact remains that #Sweden citizen #GuiMinhai is in #arbitrarydetention; kudos to @specialprocedures for detailed analysis. PM Kristersson shld regularly and publicly demand Gui's release.

Here, the English translation of the EUs call for the liberation of EU and Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai, detained in China since 10 years, and denied consular access. www.eeas.europa.eu/delegations/...
Good, but, China is like Putin's Russia:
They only stop when they are stopped. ACTION is needed.
#UN experts have determined that the 🇨🇳govt's deprivation of liberty of Swedish publisher #GuiMinhai is arbitrary, demanding his immediate release and compensation.

#GuiMinhai
On 10 December 2025 the UN experts... called on China to immediately release Gui Minhai, to accord him an “enforceable right” to compensation... and ensure a thorough, independent investigation of the arbitrary deprivation of his liberty.

Hubei activist #YinXuan, pro-democracy activist #JimmyLai, Swedish publisher #GuiMinhai, and human rights website founder #HuangQi all suffer from serious health conditions that their loved ones believe are not being adequately treated in custody.
@kovrig.bsky.social: Wise words for other countries too.
Like #Sweden mindlessly de-icing China relations with its FM groveling in the Beijing imperial court right on the 10th anniversary of China's continuing kidnapping of our citizen #GuiMinhai, NOT brought home.

Netherlands-based student Hu Yang returned to China to visit family, was detained by police, accused of "making trouble" over something he said.
The same regime that kidnapped and detained Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai for 10 years now.
The same regime that runs the Uyghur genocide.
But "dialogue"!
Bra med iallafall någon som ser att det måste få kosta, om vi vill ha tillbaka vår kidnappade medborgare #GuiMinhai:
"EU måste klargöra ... allvarliga politiska följder för relationerna med Kina.
All ekonomisk samverkan bör villkoras med hans frigivning."

Varför vill Kina låta fler svenskar turista i Kina, utan visum? Det var en av de köttbitar som regimen slängde åt utrikesminister @mariastenergard.bsky.social vid hovet i Peking på tioårsdagen av kinesiska statens kidnappning av #GuiMinhai.
Men varför? Svar finns här:

10 years ago today, Swedish bookseller #GuiMinhai was kidnapped by Chinese agents in Thailand.
On this occasion, we republish our blow-by-blow investigation into how Gui was taken, using surveillance camera footage, images, documents, and even a poem.

Nu rapporterar Sveriges Radio i 22-nyheterna att Malmer Stenergard träffat Wang Yi. Man nämner inte ens #GuiMinhai, varför? Bara att Kina nu lovar visumfrihet för svenskar.
Utrikesministern har träffat Wang Yi, men än så länge ingen svensk rapportering såvitt jag kan se. Förstås inget om #GuiMinhai. I morgon 17 oktober är det tio år sen han fördes bort från Thailand. www.mfa.gov.cn/web/wjbz_673...
Sweden sends its FM to China for meetings the very same day as the 10th anniversary of China's kidnapping of its citizens, #GuiMinhai, from Thailand. Economy and trade are listed as top priorities.
Can't make this up.

CHRD co-signed a joint statement calling for the unconditional and immediate release of Swedish publisher #GuiMinhai, who is serving a 10-year sentence and whose whereabouts and well-being have been unknown since January 2018.

On Friday, it's 10 years since Swedish bookseller #GuiMinhai was kidnapped by Chinese agents in Thailand. They have faced no consequence.
SD, nearly 100 other NGOs, and the EU parliament all refuse to forget. Coordinated by @rsf.org

If #Sweden 🇸🇪 FM @mariastenergard.bsky.social
plans to bring #GuiMinhai home from this landmark visit to #China--super. If not, this is a profoundly perverse way of marking the tenth anniversary of his disappearance. @swedishpm.bsky.social @chrdnet.bsky.social

Since January 2018, Swedish publisher #GuiMinhai ’s whereabouts and well-being have remained unknown. His family does not know whether he has received medical care or is even alive. The #China govt has not disclosed his status following a #UN inquiry.

International efforts to secure #GuiMinhai ’s release have yet to shed light on his whereabouts. Most recently, the European Parliament passed a resolution last week, but #Beijing appears to have simply ignored these calls.
