It seems #RightsCon 2026 organizers were pressured to exclude specific participants and topics: »The statement, although seemingly an invitation to negotiate, still lacked any concrete information as to why the government decided to announce they were postponing RightsCon. What the government wanted from us in order to lift the postponement was conveyed to us informally from multiple sources: in order for RightsCon to continue, we would have to moderate specific topics and exclude communities at risk, including our Taiwanese participants, from in-person and online participation.« https://www.rightscon.org/rc26-statement/ #TransnationalRepression #Taiwan #PRC
