[#Beijing is paving ways to disqualify pro-democracy candidates]
1. Despite 610,000+ #HKers voting in first-ever #hkprimaries, pro-democracy candidates started receiving letters from #HKgov questioning their political stances, including whether they support #nationalsecuritylaw

[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.

1/ It is my honor to share with @MarshaBlackburn the latest update in #HK on the call. #Beijing & #Hkgov prioritize crackdown of dissidence over health of #HKers. Director of #China’s office in #HK even called democracy movement as “political #coronavirus” & urged to suppress.

#Breaking pro-democracy ex-lawmakers @ray_slowbeat & @ChuHoiDick were just arrested by #hkpolice this morning, after disrupting controversial national anthem bill meetings on June 4. That's another round of crackdown after #Beijing passed the law that can directly expel lawmakers

4. Clealy, #Beijing shows a total disregard for the will of the #Hongkongers, tramples upon the city’s last pillar of vanishing autonomy and attempts to keep #HK’s legislature under its firm grip.

@joshuawongcf
3. Despite 610,000+ #Hongkongers voting in #HK’s primary, #Beijing now staged the biggest-ever crackdowns on the city’s election, by disqualifying nearly all pro-democracy runners, from young progressive groups to traditional moderate parties.

@joshuawongcf
1/ Soon after #Beijing issued arrest warrants for the first non-Chinese national under its sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, @SenatorMenendez and @RepEliotEngel condemned #China’s move in their statement, "today we are all Hong Kongers.”

4. However, even when #Beijing attempts to rule the city with Orwellian thoughtcrimes, #Hongkongers will not surrender. Now it is not just our cause for democracy and liberty, but also a battle between truth and lies.

When #China fails to silence #HK's dissents with fear, it appeals to force. Pro-#Beijing thugs disturbed one of our booths this evening when we urged more #HKers to vote. Also, helpers of other democratic parties were reportedly assaulted by Beijing supporters. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

10/ The hardline suppression merely future protests inevitable, especially when #Beijing is now paving the way to disqualify more candidates in the forthcoming legislative elections on the upcoming summer. Also, more kids might be jailed under the sugar-coated legal system......

3. Clearly #Beijing’s propagandists and #littlepinky are now turning a non-issue into their propaganda campaigns, making BTS as its straw man out of no reason and provoking groundless rage and division among people and fandoms.

@joshuawongcf
5/ When all countries are now busy combating #coronavirus, the authoritarian regime of #China is now clamping down on democracy movements in #HongKong. I call upon the world to keep watch on #Beijing’s tyranny and #standwithhk.

5/ At the same time, the police watchdog, IPCC, has just released a report which has zero mention of #policemisconduct during the pro-#Beijing mob attack on citizens and pregnant women in 21 July last year.

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.
