Join Us to Defend Free Speech – Say No to China’s “Super-Embassy” in London!

The UK’s Space for Free Speech is under threat. Over 28 communities and human rights groups are uniting for a powerful demonstration against the proposed “super-embassy” of the People’s Republic of China in Tower Hamlets – a project set to receive approval from Sir Keir Starmer’s government despite being twice rejected by the elected Tower Hamlets Council, local residents, and even the Metropolitan Police.

The decision follows pressure from China’s dictator Xi Jinping, who reportedly lobbied the British Prime Minister during an official meeting in Brazil last November. The government’s approval would ignore the voices of our communities, jeopardise public safety, and send a chilling message about prioritising authoritarian regimes over democratic principles.

💬 Stand with us to send a clear message:

• We will not allow our neighbourhoods to host tools of intimidation and suppression.
• We will protect the Space for Free Speech in our country.
• Future protests will grow stronger, louder, and larger.

Anticipate powerful speeches from leading British politicians, activists, and community leaders. Together, we’ll show the government that public outrage cannot be ignored.

A huge turnout is crucial to demonstrate the strength of our collective voice. Let’s show the government – and the world – that we stand united against the encroachment of authoritarianism in our democratic spaces.

🛑 Be there. Make history. Defend democracy. 🛑

Spread the word, bring your friends and family, and let’s make this a day the government won’t forget.

Together, we can show the numbers!
