UN experts have urged Beijing to drop its draft security law for Hong Kong and have denounced the 'excessive use of force by police and the alleged use of chemical agents against protesters'.

Dozens of independent UN experts have voiced alarm over the repression of fundamental freedoms in China, demanding urgent action from the UN Human Rights Council.

They also denounced"impunity for excessive use of force by police, the alleged use of chemical agents against protesters, the alleged sexual harassment and assault of women protesters in police stations and the alleged harassment of health care workers".

They also said journalists, medical workers and others exercising free speech over the COVID-19 outbreak in China have allegedly faced retaliation from the authorities.The UN experts said the national security law planned for Hong Kong would"violate China's international legal obligations and impose severe restrictions on civil and political rights".

They called on the UN Human Rights Council to act with"urgency" to monitor Chinese human rights practices, raising the prospect of holding a special session of the council to evaluate the range of violations listed.

Thank you so much for concerning that issue but the CCP and puppet government must ignore that. HongKong's just a police state NOW. StandWithHongKong HKPoliceState HKPoliceTerrorists HKPoliceBrutality newwestberlin

What we want is democracy and freedom, does anybody think we are too greedy? FightForFreedom StandWithHongKong FreeHongKong NewWestBerlin policebrutality ccpsecuritylaw

National Security Law is crisis to HKers, because HKers are scared about their freedom and human rights and One Country Two System will be taken away, nowadays, it becomes truth. Thus, we have to defend our rights and freedom StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom

Everyone knows there's hkpolicebrutality. Yet none of the police officers have been punished. More severe sanctions are needed to bring peace back in HongKong! HKPoliceTerrorists FreeHK

UN holds the absolute responsibility to warn other nations the dangers of dealing with CCP Actions, sanctions; speaks louder than voices. You all know the CCP won't listen. Appeasement is useless.

ccpChina infringed UN registered declarations and for that, the UN must act! Help Hong Kong now! diyms ccp hk humanright

CCP are step by step to destroy HK and rob all the money from HK now. When HK have dead, they will move their paw to the other country. Please StandWithHongKong , BoycottChina now.

Condemnation is useful for a civilized country, but for such a dictatorship and hegemony - CCPChina , only practical and powerful actions and sanctions are effective, otherwise, it does not care at all. Please remember, China_is_terrorist !

Devil CCP is not going to listen to any friendly reminders. More actions are needed to make them pay for the mistake. Please StandWithHongKong

Thank you UN for voicing out. Please defend human rights, freedom, and democracy for citizens of HongKong. StandWithHongKong

HKpolice is a bunch of thugs that murder their own people. They are turning Hong Kong into HKpolicestate. Condemn HKpolicebrutality! Get them trialed and jailed! StandWithHongKong

Please don't be misled by the word National Security. To CCPChina, law is a tool and 'National Security' is a universal excuse to suppress any voices not agreeing with CCP.

The CCP is the world’s largest human rights violations terrorist organization, and the United Nations must intervene early to seek justice for those victims😤

Do UN experts dare to say the same about the United States? They deliberately left out the name of the United States when it comes to a resolution against police brutality. Will the UN also comment on the excessive force used by 'protestors' in Hong Kong? One sided story.

Repressing HKers and journalists with serious PoliceBrutality with imposing the NationalSecurityLaw which agencies will be set up in HongKong, CCP is wiping HK out. The law seems to be aiming every protester, especially people who speaks up internationally.

I would like to see UN officials to urged CCPChina to drop it's draft ccpsecuritylaw for hongkong That will be much more powerful, it's time to act, UN

The gov connive unfair law enforcement by the police, and refused to establish an independent commission of inquiry. China and HK gov can only consolidate its position by splitting Hong Kong people.

Hong Kong is the aspiring predatory fascist CCP🇨🇳's statement of intent: 🇨🇳can get away w/ any atrocities The social-imperialist🇨🇳is waging a war against the free world Who’ll be next?

We never give up StandWithHongKong FightForFreedomStandWithHongKong

Yes! Evil CCP just want to legalize their brutal oppression on Hongkongers and wipe out all freedom lovers! They should be condemned and sanctioned immediately!

The CCP is a dictatorial criminal syndicate, and it does not mean that the unexpected country has any criticism and condemnation of it because it is a terrorist organization! CCP_is_terrorist

The CCP is digging its own grave if it doesn’t stop right now. It’s no joke messing up with a free international financial hub. Other stakeholders will come after the CCP!

NatSecLaw is a global threat! Please stand with HongKong Boycott made in China Huawei Tiktok Tencent

aaronelizebath Beijing wouldn't listen. CCP_is_terrorist

But Beijing did not listen. The only way to protect HK freedom is sanction against China and HK officials.

The NationalSecurityLaw will be above all laws including int'l human rights treaty. CCP tyranny can take HKers to China where there is death sentence but no fair trial, & they can hold ppl forever & force them to confess before camera. The free world must BoycottChina.

Urging CCPChina not to do something is very difficult. Making sanctions on them is the most effective way. We can let their economy collapse so that they may feel scared.

United....

HongKongers have already suffered from hkpolicebrutality for longer than a year While HKpolice have no ideas to stop it because they are sided with tyranny China That's what we are facing StandWithHongKong

Until now, no police officers have been prosecuted for their excessive use of force and other misconduct on protesters. More drastic measures may be needed instead of a declaratory policy that seems impossible to press China to change course.

But the evil regime of CCP will never listen. They are the biggest triad in the world. BoycottChina FightForFreedom

That should make CCP sit up and listen

Our China spy law bares its teeth with raid on Labor MPPerspective: When Australian police and intelligence action puts the national relationship with China in the dock, it's more than sensitive. It's explosive. What China needs to understand, is that Australia, like the rest of the world is not a part of China. We are not under their control. We are able to do what we please and not have to do things dictated by them. They have such a difficult time understanding that basic concept. The return of Mccarthyism...
