Last #HongKong governor Chris Patten: latest #IPCC report on #HongKongProtests & #HongKongPolice divided the community, a blow to hopes to return to normality in #HK, in which people can express views openly without being run off the streets
227
11/ In recent weeks #HKers have regained momentum & #policebrutality persists, with 13yo student reporter arrested & kid dragged on the ground by #hkpolice. As our autonomy & freedoms are once again in peril, I call upon the world to keep an eye on #HK’s situation & #standwithhk.
228
Another day of violent clashes in #HK. Flashmob choirs and peaceful rallies ended in chaos as police rampaged across the city, targeting kids and journalists. This is a cry for help - the free world must impose sanctions on the bloodthirsty #HKgov and #China. The fight goes on.
229
This clip shows how disgusting and barbaric is Beijing's proxies in the Legislative Council in #HK. Kwok Wai-keung is just one of them. Disgusting! Disgraceful! Kwok was putting up a show for the #CCP masters in Beijing and Hong Kong. twitter.com/ezracheungtoto…

6/ Tonight’s assembly shows that #coronavirus does not kill the spirit of #hongkongprotests. The plague will end one day. But under #China's authoritarian rule, #HK’s freedom, human rights and autonomy can only be protected with the arrival of democracy.
231
1/ Although #China’s liaison office has been toughening its control on #HK in recent weeks, #Hongkongers do not scare off. Tonight, thousands of #hongkongprotesters sang #GloryToHK at Cityplaza and reminded all #hkers of our cause for democracy.
232
2/ But #HK Judge offered sympathy to the assailant, without slamming his cruel move during sentencing yesterday. Instead, he violated his impartiality by spending one-third of the time criticizing #HKprotests & comparing victims that just delivered leaflets as "terrorist army”.

#香港 #銅鑼灣書店 店長 #林榮基 先生的書店,歷盡艱辛,今天在 #臺北 正式開幕,特別獻上祝福。 #臺灣 最引以為傲的就是 #民主 #自由,敬請大家用行動支持書店,支持臺北的銅鑼灣書店,也是對臺灣 #出版自由 的支持! #HK #Taipei #Taiwan 照片出自銅鑼灣書店-台灣重啟

A slightly emotional @cpdenniskwok on 3 fresh #HKMAO statements on #HK: #Beijing now exercising its "full jurisdiction over #HongKong", as stated in White Paper in 2014. The writing's on the wall to DQ me, it's my life-long honor to fight for democracy, RoL & freedom for HKers

" #HongKong and Macao Affairs Office of the State (China) Council" attempts to undermine the Separation of Power in #HK by accusing a legislative council member breaking the law 原文: 港澳辦自行宣判郭榮鏗公職人員行為失當罪成 lih.kg/1982304 #港澳辦 #郭榮鏗 #香港 #LIHKG

All eyes are on this house arrest at #ShaTin #HK Residents claimed they heard constant #physical #struggle and the sound of #vomiting from the house as the #HKPF guarded the door against reporters and even, lawyers seeking to enter the premise who demand seeing their client.
237
#HongKong pro-democracy camp convenor Tanya Chan on the Liasion Office claiming itself & #Beijing’s HKMAO are not bound by Article 22 of the Basic Law: it’s no longer “Western ruling #HK”, it’s Beijing directly. It’s just that office chief Luo Huining hasn’t sat in CE Office yet
238
4/ When China’s offices in #HK unprecedentedly announced that they aren't restricted from interfering in local affairs of #HK, it's beyond any doubt this sensitive information will be shared to 4000 #China national security forces that now stationed in HK for future persecution.

1/ It is crazy for #hkpolice to arrest the 81-yo veteran democrat #MartinLee, the Father of Democracy. He is the one who helped draft #HK’s basic law under #1country2systems. For almost 40 years, he has been promoting democracy and human rights in #HongKong.
241
2/ Jimmy Lai, most high-profile pro-democracy media tycoon, has been critical of #HKGov & #CCP leadership. He was invited by @VP Mike Pence & @SecPompeo to share #HK situation. As press freedom isn't allowed under authoritarian regime of #Xijinping, he becomes the prime target.
242
Over 30 #hkpolice today surrounded & arrested a #HKer when he tried to put a caricature of #Xijinping with #coronavirus head onto #lennonwall in #KwunTong #HK. Clearly, #hkpolice’s only duty is to carry out political censorship & save face for this authoritarian leader of #China.
243
#JUSTIN #Beijing's #HongKong & Macau Affairs Office blasts the pro-democracy camp's filibuster at #HK #Legco's House Committee, saying it "strongly condemns" the disruption to the normal operations of the council & law-making process on livelihood matters hmo.gov.cn/xwzx/xwfb/xwfb…
It’s a disgrace to see this is happening to #HongKong, a place that used to shine as a beacon of #PressFreedom in East Asia. The people of #Taiwan will stand with the people of #HK in the pursuit of truth. JW twitter.com/hkfp/status/12…

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.

That is shocking news to #HKer to hear that our dearest friend James Gordon - Lord Gordon of Strathblane - just passed away due to #coronavirus. As one of the members of All-Party Parliamentary Groups on HK, he has been supporting democracy and defending human rights in #HK.
248
1/ Today #HK court ruled that #hkpolice can go through the arrested's phone without a warrant. More importantly, it is the first time that #hkpolice has admitted using software provided by Cellebrite @Cellebrite_UFED and MSAB @MSAB_XRY to crack my iPhone without my consent.
249
When #Beijing expelled 3 major US media outlets @nytimes, @WSJ & @washingtonpost to stop foreign media coverage on #HK & #China, Reuters reports at least 4000 top internal security forces, the PAP, have been joining #hkpolice on the frontlines, according to diplomat sources.
250
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.
