UK MP urges Hongkongers to provide evidence of Police brutality
(2 May) Luke de Pulford, a member of the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, recently asserted his belief that the British Government should carry out an investigation on Hong Kong’s police brutality. He specifically mentioned Rupert Dover, David Jordan and Justin Shave, Britons serving in the territory’s police force, and appealed to the public for evidence of their involvement.
As of 29 April, de Pulford named the three as ‘key perpetrators’ on his Twitter account and insisted the UK government’s responsibility to carry out investigations on the conducts of its nationals. This was reiterated yesterday, when Luke announced that he is currently gathering evidence on the three in relation to a lawsuit. Once again, Luke urged the Hong Kong public to provide evidence as assistance.

#LukedePulford: UK's Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal to 'Prosecute' Beijing Loyalist #JuniusHo and Remove him from the UK Solicitors Register
The Solicitors Regulation Authority (#SRA), a licensing body that regulates solicitors in England and Wales, has taken action and scheduled a hearing of Junius Ho's case in the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal.
With the latest news from SRA, Hong Kong Watch's fellow Luke de Pulford commented that "people who spout hate, incite violence and encourage authoritarianism have no place practising law in the UK."
In October 2019, Anglia Ruskin University (#ARU) in the UK has revoked Ho's honorary degree citing Ho's conduct and public behaviour as a concern. This came after Ho's alleged connection with the white-clad assailants in Yuen Long 7.21 triad attack on train passengers, reporters and pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong in 2019.

Pillar of Shame placed outside Chinese Embassy in Rome. Nathan Law: China government's atrocities must be exposed to the world
As the G20 summit is to be held in Rome for two days from Saturday (30 October), exiled Hong Kong legislator Nathan Law Kwun-Chung took the "Pillar of Shame" to the Chinese Embassy there yesterday (27 October) to protest. He said he might not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party (#ccp) from committing atrocities, but he hoped to draw public attention to human rights issues in China.
Joint with Luke de Pulford, a British member of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC), and others, Nathan Law erected a three-metre-high "Pillar of Shame", a replica of the original "Pillar of Shame" status made by the same Danish sculptor Jens Galschiøt, outside the Chinese Embassy in Rome yesterday.
"We may not be able to stop the Chinese Communist Party's atrocities, but with the G20 summit around the corner, there is something we can do to get the media's attention and to direct some of the public opinions towards the human rights of the Chinese Communist Party," he said. He would also meet with parliamentarians from different countries in Rome in the coming days, hoping to remind them of the importance of fighting the expansion of Chinese Communist authority when they gather.

[Translator note: According to the Stand News video, Nathan Law said, "it is a statement about the atrocity and the massacre that the Chinese Communist Party did to its people, its crushing of democratic pursuit, and the pursuits of its people to decide the future of their own country", which is not quite the same as what the news article say]
