2. According to Wang Dan, one of the student leaders of the #TiananmenSquare pro-democracy movement in 1989, #Beijing will arrest me Joshua Wong and the city’s pro-democracy media tycoons Jimmy Lai on Wednesday (July 1), the day after the law is put into place.

[With its claws sharpened, Beijing toughens penalties under #NationalSecurityLaw]
1. Defying all oppositions, #Beijing will pass the law by June 30. NPC delegate Ip Kwok-him unveils, maximum penalty will be raised from 10 years to life sentence, heavier than previously expected.

[Response to US's visa ban on CCP officials]
1. When #Beijing insists on ramming through an unpopular & sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw that imperils HK’s autonomy, @SecPompeo just announced visa bans on #CCP officials responsible for undermining #HK’s autonomy and human rights.

2/ Local courts are also NOT allowed to give a milder interpretation of the offence to protect human rights. The interpretation power is exclusively assigned to #Beijing’s top legislature Standing Committee of the NPC.

@lukedepulford These #Beijing loyalists are tearing up a voided #BNO passport while leaving the real one at home.
Are they trying keep their real 🇬🇧#BNO passports so they can move to the UK when they eventually get discarded by their 🇨🇳#CCP masters?

Tens of thousands of people in #HongKong defy a police ban to attend #June4 candlelight vigil to mark 31st anniversary of #TiananmenSquareMassacre, as a #NationalSecurityLaw imposed on #HK by #Beijing looms

4. The law is just the stepping stone for more interventions from #Beijing. With its ill-defined scope, the law will doubtlessly become the new weapon to crush dissents. With the new #secretpolice agency, Beijing can enforce #China's law in the territory of #HK.

2. At the time when #Beijing is unilaterally imposing the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw upon #Hongkong, this year might be the last year that Hongkongers can talk about #TiananmenSquareMassacre publicly.

We mustn't forget what happened 31 years ago today in #TiananmenSquare, #Beijing. The event is commemorated in #Taiwan as a reminder not to let history repeat itself, including in #HongKong. Genuine freedom & democracy are the only way forward for all. twitter.com/iingwen/status…

4/ HK’s judiciary independence will be in peril since #Beijing has already criticized local courts’ rulings last year, let alone more sensitive matters like national security. It will be the new weapon for Beijing to put pressure on UK companies like HSBC to side with China.

1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Up to now, #Beijing loyalists keep downplaying the adverse impacts on HK’s judicial independence & civil liberties. Under similar law in China, people seeking justice for #TiananmenMassacre, supporting HKProtest were sentenced to jail. It might kill HK’s democratic movements.

.@demosisto says the #US’ likely suspension or abolishment of #HongKong’s zero tariff status & other sanctions are a “tragic but necessary step”, saying it’s #Beijing who “sold out HKers” with the #NationalSecurityLaw. @joshuawongcf calls on BJ to stop implementing the law

@joshuawongcf
2/ When #Beijing insists on ignoring international responses and breaching international norms and rules, it is time for China to face the grave consequences and international backlashes for its irresponsible act of scraping an UN-filed Joint Declaration.

#HongKong ’s gate is breached. Our autonomy guaranteed by the Sino-British Joint Declaration and #1C2S has been bombarded by #Beijing. This might be the finale of #HK but #Hongkongers shall not give in! #StandinWithHongKong #YouCantStopUs

No local legislation. No more James Tien saying no at the last minute circa 2003.
