IMPORTANT: @FCDOGovUK response to China’s announcement on BN(O).
In summary: “use another travel document to get out of #HK”
Ok. Progress. Thank you. But what about those who don’t have one? twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

3. Using its sweeping powers under #NationalSecurityLaw, #China now extends its reach to #HK media by clamping down on critical voices on media, halting flow of information to international audiences and turning the city's media outlets into state-controlled propaganda apparatus.

#ThrowbackThursday: Back in the early days of March, #CCP was still spreading disinformation that whatever happens in #Ukraine, must be linked to "reactionary forces" in #HK

2. It is the first time that sacred texts are largely replaced by Chinese nationalistic education in religious textbooks. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even the controversial sinicized Christianity in #China started to expand to #HK with HK diocese kowtowing to #Beijing.

Deeply concerning video which appears to show PRC Consulate staff destroying #HK pro-democracy signs & beating up #HK protestors. We urge @SuellaBraverman @TomTugendhat @JamesCleverly @trussliz to investigate this incident & take swift action against any PRC staff involved. twitter.com/McWLuke/status…

Come and join the FB online🎵Music Rally on this Saturday in solidarity with #HK’s pro democracy freedom fighters who are in prison.
HK activists in exile, @tedhuichifung @Ray_WongHKI @nathanlawkc @finnlau_cd
will be speaking along with 7 Parliamentarians.

We cannot stand idly by while this happens to #HK
Over to you #G7 @DominicRaab twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

3. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, it is dubious if our privacy and safety are still under protection when more evidence suggests #HK comes closer to a #secretpolicestate where citizens and foreigners can be maliciously followed by unknown agents.

@joshuawongcf
6. When pro-democracy figures like @tedhuichifung and @JeremyTamMH face similar furious stalking, there's a growing concern that #HK is now turning from #policestate to #secretpolicestate where people's freedoms and safety are under unprecedented assault.
137
Embarrassing. Who is stopping @DominicRaab saying what he really thinks?
Weak statements with no actions merely feed the beast (as the past year has shown beyond doubt).
Still nothing from the PM. #HK friends should tell @UKinHongKong and @Number10press what they think.

Some protesters decided to, without prior planning, march on Connaught Road Central, effectively stopping traffic in one of the major roads in the area. No #HongKongPolice in sight #HongKong #HongKongProtests #HK #HumanRightsandDemocracyAct #China #US

Today, the Hong Kong national security police arrested Allan Au, a veteran #HK journalist, for allegedly conspiring to publish seditious materials under colonial-era sedition laws.

3. Worse still, even the city’s head in charge of controlling #covid19 never heard of the plan. As a result, it casts more doubts on whether #China is imposing genetic surveillance in #HK while #hkpolice recently took DNA swabs of #hkprotesters under sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw
141
Alright, alright. Yes. Me, @Billbrowder and others named in #AndyLi case were called in for meetings with @GOVUK about #HK
Can’t comment on the meeting, but can say what’s reported (Cantonese) here by @krislc and the🧵 👇

3/ In fact, the world has already expressed concern over the evil & ill-defined #nationasecuritylaw that will kill democratisation in #HK and harm global business interest in HK. But China keeps dismissing all doubts from world leaders, business sectors and even bar associations.
143
#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
144
‼️I think this is a REALLY IMPORTANT moment for the #HK democracy movement.
Immensely proud of @ipacglobal’s HK lead @chungchingkwong calling out the failure of the democratic world to defend Hong Kong’s way of life and autonomy.
145
Happy this was picked up in #HK. They haven't managed to shut down the press just yet.

Yes. And if this is the case for FULL BRITISH CITIZENS imagine what it’s like for British Nationals (Overseas).
You don’t have to imagine. Look at the denied requests for consular sanctuary in #HK. twitter.com/patrickwintour…
148
“Largely independently” tells you all you need to know. This has little to do with the rule of law, and a lot to do with massive pressure applied by UK lawyers practising in lucrative #HK who want the status quo. Breathtakingly short-sighted. twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

2. But when he sued for injury compensation, #HK legal aid dept, not only unreasonably rejected his request but also prejudicially supported #HKpolicebrutality, saying "the use of force by the Police at the material time was reasonable" before trials and rulings even begin.
