Tiananmen Square, Uyghur Court: Tower Hamlets plans name changes in solidarity
The Chinese embassy is to be relocated to the East End of London, Tower Hamlets.
The councillors said they welcomed the relocation of the embassy from the West End but “we must continue to make clear where our own standards and principles apply”.
The motion which proposed to rename roads and buildings in the surrounding area of the site Tiananmen Square, Uyghur Court, Hong Kong Road and Tibet Hill was passed. This showed “support for the freedom and diversity of our borough”.
The repression of Uighur Muslims is particularly sensitive for Tower Hamlets, which has the highest proportion of Muslim residents (38%) of any borough.

Tears Shed at Premier of PolyU Siege Documentary in London
The documentary "Inside the Red Brick Wall" was shown in the Open City documentary festival in London on September 11. The film captured one of the most aggressive crackdowns of Hongkonger's fight for democracy during the anti-Extradition movement in 2019, the police siege against protesters in Polytechnic University (#PolyU).
Many Hongkongers that have recently arrived in the UK went to see this documentary. Among them was a pro-democracy supporters, K, who said she took part in one of the demonstrations near the university. K told reporters that the documentary has brought back memories of the crackdown and her involvement in those demonstrations.
She was very saddened because she knew that those endured the sufferings during the siege were ordinary youngsters, real people with flesh and blood. She couldn't help but shed tears as she watched the documentary.
K acknowledged that the screening in UK did provide a platform for Hongkongers to get together, so that they knew they were not alone and can seek support when needed.
She hopes for the documentary to be shown in other countries, to let the world better understand what is happening in Hong Kong. She believes that the question-and-answer session at the end of the show helped local people understand what Hong Kong people has gone through during the movement.

Conducting social movement art exhibition on streets of London, a painter from Hong Kong: he was questioned of offending the National Security Law by pro-Beijing media, and resignedly to immigrate for creation
Artvocate, a social movement art platform established by Hongkongers who moved to the United Kingdom, held an art exhibition “The Art of Standing” on streets of London showing some of the platform's artworks on social movements in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Thailand, including the paintings by a Hong Kong couple “Lumli Lumlong”, who moved to the United Kingdom for about 4 months. Lumlong said that freedom is very important to art creation, but in Hong Kong, they “cannot draw, or show those paintings to the public”. They chose to leave to “carry on creating for Hong Kong”.
The exhibition was held at Piccadilly Circus, London City Centre, and Leicester Square, with several people holding and showing about 20 artworks related to the social movement in Hong Kong, Myanmar, and Thailand, including cartoonist Justin Wong's work “Home”, which attracted a lot of attention from pedestrians.

Hong Kong demonstrators in London and Liverpool: we only remember the shot Tsang Chi-Kin on the 1st October.
October 1st marks the 72nd anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Hong Kong residents demonstrated in London, Liverpool and other cities in the United Kingdom. In London, the Hong Kong Liberty, together with other groups of Hongkongers, Tibetans, and Uyghurs held a joint rally and march, which were attended by about 1,000 people. Winnie, a participant, expressed her belief that this day is not a day to celebrate for the Hongkongers. “I believe that many Hongkongers, starting from 1st October, will only remember Tsang Chi Kin, (the youngster in exile) who was shot with a live bullet (not the Chinese National Day)”.
At the rally, Finn Lau, who is wanted by the Hong Kong police and living in exile in the UK, said that Hongkongers, Tibetans and Uyghurs are all victims and that we are united in organising today's rally to amplify our voices so that the international community can hear them more easily. “Never give up the faith.”
