At least the people of #HK will be able to punish these horrific failures at the ballot box….oh twitter.com/AFP/status/149…

For Andy and the #12HKyouths, it must've been a foreboding of endless harassment and unfair trials under a questionable legal system in #HK that would have taken away their free lives. They were fleeing from a place that's crumbling into a Orwellian police state. #save12hkyouths twitter.com/HK_diaries/sta…

This isn’t a spoof. Someone from DH&MAC (lol) has actually said that there is no XUAR atrocity because he chats to pretty #Uyghur girls online. And #HK’s broadcaster has reported it. Laugh or cry. twitter.com/rthk_enews/sta…

Daughter found this in a drawer. I was handed it by a group of triad thugs surrounding the man himself when we met in 2019. Before they realised I wasn’t there to be nice.
None of us knew it’d be the last time for a while #HK could kick people like this out of office.

It's 81 days since #Andyismissing.
A lot has happened in #HK since he fell into #CCP's hands. More has been arrested under #NSL. Press freedom further trampled. The LegCo has gone defunct.
But we cannot forget about #save12HKyouths, for their only hope is your attention. t.co/JGrFJ4RTPX

#HongKong activist @joshuawongcf says they’ve obtained from “source” a roster of the #HK Govt Flying Service, indicating the morning when a GFS flight was sent to Sai Kung as #12hkers went on a speedboat, it was a #HongKongPolice operation. Wong says activists know.....

4/ Credit rating companies have warned about the erosion of #HK's of political and economic independence in recent years. Only by human rights sanctions, we can counter China’s erosion of the city’s freedoms and foreign business interests on this island.

Was asked by a journalist the other day if I’ve had any cyber intimidation since being vocal on #Uyghurs #HK etc.
Actually quite surprising to see it all written down. And this is *nothing* compared to what people like @xu_xiuzhong and diaspora groups endure.
It won’t work.

I don’t judge those who please guilty to crimes they have not committed in #HK
But I’m humbled by those who know the price and decide to plead guilty anyway.

3. Four years ago, no one would believe what had happened in #HK, with #policebrutality, arbitrary prosecution, draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, censorship, disqualification, election cancellation and media meltdown, with 9000+ #HKers arrested and 12 youths now detained in #China.

As of January 6th 2022, #HK has 721 political prisoners, including 555 given custodial sentences and 166 detained pending trial. #FreeHKPoliticalPrisoners

5. While #Beijing's #HK chief Xia Baolong is notorious for burning crosses & demolishing churches in China, not to mention that #CCP long considers religious activities as potential threats to #nationalsecurity, it is worrying similar religious crackdown will soon extend to HK.

It is a tragic sign of the deteriorating human rights situation in #HK that nearly 10,000 #HongKongers applied for Canada's Young Talent's Work Visa & a further 5,000 applied to study in Canada last year. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
