Basically, I don't choose to help any particular human rights defenders only. I appreciate people like @changchengwai @ZhouFengSuo @ShengXue_ca and others who have been trying their best to help people. I'm learning from them. I don't have as many followers but want to help.

家父邢望力于8月20日被河南当局从驻马店监狱转至三门峡监狱，10月20日家属前往监狱探视得知：邢望力刚到三门峡监狱时，由于皮肤瘙痒抓挠了几下便被狱政科强迫他双手举过头顶作投降姿势，每天十多个小时，持续五天，每天逼迫他工作15小时以上，双手磨出血，监狱伙食极差，他对妻子说“在这里活不下去了”

His hands were rubbed raw and bleeding. The food in prison was terrible. He complained to his wife: "I can't survive here."

.@xingjian1996's father #XingWangli, was transferred from Zhumadian Prison to Sanmenxia Prison on 20 August 2026. On 20 Oct 2026, when his family visited him in prison, he was made in a surrender position as he was scratching his itchy skin. He's forced to work for over 15 hrs.

香港の若者は今日も頑張ってます！日本で真面目にきっちり仕事して、香港にいる仲間の分まで声をあげています。私は日本で支え続けます！アメリカから彼らを支えるマーク・クリフォードさんと共に、香港人支援に向けた日米連携を確認できた。

How Taiwan’s November Local Elections Could Change the World - The Wire China

If the DPP performs well next month it could boost President Lai Ching-te's re-election hopes — and stir Beijing into greater efforts at coercion.

祝贺塞尔维亚“学生名单”赢得国会选举，武契奇已承认败选！ 作为八九学运的参与者，我为他们欢呼！今年四月底我刚刚去塞尔维亚访问当地青年组织，也和抗议政府的学生有互动交流。 这支从2024年诺维萨德火车站雨棚坍塌惨剧后的抗议中成长起来的力量，将反腐败、争取问责的街头呼声化为选票。武契奇政权长期与北京关系密切，与习近平共建所谓“中塞命运共同体”。学生们以坚持和勇气证明：强权并非不可战胜，年轻人能够改变国家的未来。

祝贺塞尔维亚学生赢了！中共政权少了一个“老朋友” 今天的议会选举中，「学生名单」拿到约 52.7% 的选票、250 席中的约 140 席。武契奇当晚亲口承认：「我们输掉了这次选举。」各地街头随即响起歌声和汽车喇叭声。 这场运动起于 2024 年 11 月诺维萨德火车站雨棚坍塌、十多人遇难。车站改造由中国国企承建，学生追问腐败、要求问责，一坚持就是一年多。 武契奇是北京在欧洲最亲密的伙伴之一，把两国关系称为「铁杆友谊」。中资大举进入塞尔维亚的矿业和钢铁业，华为的监控系统也装进了贝尔格莱德。 今天，塞尔维亚年轻人用选票证明，和独裁者结盟的政权并非不可战胜。向勇敢的塞尔维亚学生致敬！ #Serbia #塞尔维亚 #StudentsWin
