The arrest of Fung Wai-kong at #HongKong airport is outrageous
We call on @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab to act urgently to call for his release, stop arresting journalists & pressure #HK authorities not to prevent those who wish to leave from doing so

Today 20 parliamentarians have called on @MarcGarneau to undertake an audit of the financial assets and connections of #HK officials & their families in #Canada to establish the effectiveness of #MagnitskySanctions. You can read the full letter here: hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/2021…

We cannot stand idly by while this happens to #HK

OUTRAGEOUS - another bald attempt to asphyxiate free media in #HK
They forget how tough Jimmy is…watch now as they attempt to frame him again and again. They’ll even force young pro-dem “witnesses” under duress to fit their ridiculous narrative. Just watch. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

Good to see @HeikoMaas and the German Government naming and shaming Hungary. It cannot be right that a single EU Member State is able to block EU measures to respond to the human rights crisis in Hong Kong, including an EU lifeboat scheme. #Lifeboat #HK twitter.com/StuartKLau/sta…

Not content with the vague & draconian powers under the National Security Law, Commissioner of Police Chris Tang Ping-keung has called for the outlawing of @appledaily_hk & for a new law to censor the press on the grounds of 'fake news'. #FreePress #HK scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

Personal reflection on the absurdity of what happened yesterday.
The last time I saw these two was Sept 2019 in #HK
They spent much of the time talking about how they didn’t know *any* of the organisers of the 2019 protests and (thought they’d never have said it publicly) how...

#HK supporters PLEASE READ THIS.
We all have to brace for heroes of the movement to be broken. And we must still stand by them. twitter.com/SafeguardDefen…

🙄Another day, another ridiculous story from #HK. Kindergarten children are to receive “National Security Day” pamphlets detailing:
Deep Sea Security
Polar Security
"Key National Security Areas"
Beats Teletubbies, I guess. 🙄

Still some pockets of open resistance in #HK - this photo from a friend. Would love to have a drink there together. One day....

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…

#AndyIsMissing
#save12hkyouths
Andy Li was among 8 HKyouth returned to HK on 21/3 from mainland China.
After a court appearance on 24/3, Andy is missing.
We urge the #HK government to confirm Andy’s whereabouts & guarantee his personal safety & his rights are protected.
93
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.

Unionist Carol Ng, currently remanded as one of 47 activists charged with conspiring to commit subversion over unofficial primaries for the cancelled #2020Legco poll, has resigned as chair of the Confederation of Trade Unions, says the pro-democracy CTU #NSL #HK #HongKong

Biggest scene outside #HK courthouse in a year where 47 democrats are due to appear after being arrested in the biggest crackdown by authorities under #NSL. Hundreds chanting slogans #HongKongProtests

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/…

Minority rights advocacy group #HongKong Unison:
“Nabela Qoser is a shining example of a Hongkonger of ethnic minority background who has succeeded through hard work & is contributing to #HK. All kinds of hatred of her...contributes to discrimination”

5 days until the #HK BNO scheme.
I really hope there's an integration plan. Things could go badly wrong. Non-exhaustive:
1. Quarantine
2. Language
3. HK community divisions.
4. Stupid assumption all HKers are rich.
The e-gates will open, but what will be our welcome?

JUST IN: David Perry QC has told #HongKong’s Department of Justice he’s not coming to #HK to prosecute pro-democracy activists over 2019 #HongKongProtests, citing pressure he’s been under in the #UK
DoJ says another counsel has been appointed instead
