The response Senator Hawley (@HawleyMO) received from the @NBA is indicative of the lack of concern they bear for #HumanRights and especially the #Uyghurs.

A very valid question indeed. Thank you @HillelNeuer for asking these important questions.
11/ In June 2020, at an urgent U.N. Human Rights Council debate on racism & police brutality, I asked why a regime that locks up 1 million Muslim Uighurs was put on the U.N. panel that vets human rights monitors. China's rep then lashed out at me at for "abusing human rights."
