Just like her fellow Hong Kong protesters, pop star Denise Ho is standing up to China.

Just like them, she seems to have gotten under Beijing’s skin -- this time at an international human rights venue.

Ho’s comments were some of the sharpest and most varied criticism of China that the council has heard since the United States pulled out last year, partly over Trump administration complaints that too many rights-violating states were among its members. The U.S. had been generally seen as one of the countries least hesitant to stand up to its rising rival at the Geneva-based council.

Ho then denounced the disqualifications of lawmakers, the jailing of activists, and the “cross-border kidnappings” of booksellers in Hong Kong as signs of “China’s tightening grip.” She said Hong Kong autonomy had slowly eroded since the handover. She accused China of “preventing our democracy at all costs” such as by appointing as Hong Kong CEO Carrie Lam, who the protesters want to see ousted.

UN Watch, the advocacy group that hosted Ho, faulted Western countries for not speaking out in her defense. China’s envoy also blasted the non-governmental organization, saying it had “abused its consultative status” and engaged in slandering — without mentioning the group or Ho by name.“I don’t know if it will stay this way,” she said. “I will stand strong.”

就算没有人权也中国内部自己搞行吗,身为香港人宣传宣传爱与和平吸不了睛,非得搞陆港对立咯?港独理解你,自己独立自己的发展自己的好不好,还嘚嘚嘚过来管对岸,解解真🉐是事多惹

Do not mix music with politics. 😾

首先务实的做法是加入联合国人权理事会,然后努力工作争取升职,最后爬到最高决策层,加油吧,傻逼,看好你妈。

👍👍👍👍

If the world thinks she can represent the rights and interests of Hong Kong, the world will not be better.

Detailed how UN treaty works

'now in HK,Who loud, who terrifying, who win'. those with a different opinion will be bullied on internet, their children bullied at school, threatened all family to be killed. This singer shows what loud and terrifying mean

こんな馬鹿な女もいるの

I don't know her

It wont they ain't got guts

as she should

何韵诗……

she is Canadian

流行音樂明星??只不過是32線無人問津的土鱉歌手。

As I know, the US has quit the human rights council.😄

Based

Pop star? Denise Who?😂

she’s no star. kid fooling around

不认识这货

Nobody. Aha, she or he can urge UN to do anything.

The truth is, HKers are using everything they can find to deny the fact that HK is part of China. The substance of the extradition bill is fine, what's 'not fine' is that China is a 'surpressed, corrupted, evil' place that HK wants nothing to do with.

she is canadian ok?fake news

she is a Canadian. Understand?

She is so stupid, and you know nothing.

Go girl go! Why would they even allow China in the Human rights council? Citizens have no rights in China when in comes down to it. The Citizens of Hong Kong might like to buy some $NXS coins NexusOfficial, the most undervalued crypto in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. bitcoin

For Chinese delegate at UN to argue that HK is PRC’s is simply to CONFESS: I did what I did cruelly, inhumanely, because this “dog” is mine and it’s in my backyard! Shit! Even domestic violence is punishable! Kick China OUT of our neighbourhood, UN our international community!

just a stupid person

The fact that they are on it and that Saudi are on it shows you what an ineffective joke the UN is

pop star?I have never heard of her. and if is could be called 'peaceful protest', the world must be mad.

Well done !

this shit, who

unhrc is a joke

ChinaOut

The Human Rights council is a group of the worst human rights abusers in the world. I say we let China stay, it suits them.

She is so cool!

泰国人妖罢了

叫佢食💩啦

Gross

Never heard of her

camcruise Human rights ? I want ME patients to have human rights.

Hahahahaha the UN actually giving a shit? Now that's Hilarious...

Let’s hope nothing mysteriously happens to Denis -

She’s a disgrace to her nation. I think her English first name is confusing her. China won’t let HK become another U.S. military base. That’s exactly what the protesters want.

Yet they won't because these types of councils and even the UN itself are the most laughable things nowadays.

People who says BS about China don’t really know what is the real China. Complexity of China is too broad to be described by your short words.

I stan a queen

Divide and conquer. Western countries need to stop meddling in Chinese affairs. This is internal Chinese issue.

Kudos - damn the Communists

preach

The UN still has a Human Rights Council? What do they do and where? USA2019

so who is she?...We chinese people dont know her😂😂😂

but she's Canadian! Right?

I applaud her in her efforts but ppl really should take a look at the list of countries that sit on the UN “Human Rights Council” it’s basically a who’s who of the worst human rights abusers in the world. Whole thing is a sham and why China would never be removed

Spread the word to the whole world to save HK. Never stop lobbying all foreign governments

Denise Ho doesn't know that UN is mafe to protect communist/Islamic dictatorship regimes like China or Iran, etc.

China Israel and Saudi ArabiaWorst of the worst

I dont usually agree with pop stars but I can definitely get behind this.

Is Denise Ho a big fan of British colonialism in Hong Kong?

c_chris10 wholeheartedly agree . In Fact , The UN should remove itself from all Human Rights Councils too . The UN is a filthy war mongering racket. Ineffective and corrupt to the hilt . Millions displaced under the current dictatorship of antonioguterres . BoyCottTheUN RICORacket

Everyone better keep an eye on Denise Ho. Don't want another person disappearing
