Despite #BelarusProtest in #Minsk, #Lukashenko secretly inaugurated today. According to #HK media @dbchannel_hkers, armoured cars are everywhere in city w/ heavy #police presence. It's rumored metro service will be suspended tonight alongside internet shutdown. #StandWithBelarus

[#AntiELAB Movement vs #UmbrellaMovement: are #HKers walking on the old path?]
1.1/ #HK's protests have indeed reduced due to the #COVID19 and the #NationalSecurityLaw. #HKGov mass arrests protestors, and crackdown on the education, mass media, medical and judicial industries.

5. Under #nationalsecuritylaw and #Beijing's #wolfwarriordiplomacy, it's worrrying that similar intimidation will happen in #HK, esp when #Chinese data companies were found actively spying the world’s influential individuals and constructing database on behalf of #CCP government.

[First judge resigns amid #nationalsecuritylaw]
1. Appalled to hear that our prominent #Australian judge James Spigelman resigned from #HK appeals court over #NSL, days after #Beijing claims there is no separation of powers in HK

3/ Not a day goes by #HK people worrying about the situtaion of them. What makes the situation so dire is that they are completely disconnected with the outside world. God knows how does the #Chinese authorities treat them in detention. #Save12HKyouths @save12hkyouths

4. In fact, it is common for #China to use discretion power to return criminal suspects to #Hongkong in the past. @hkcnews_com revealed, #Beijing did send around 2-3 suspects per year to #HK over the past 5 years, even for cases that fell into China’s jurisdiction.

5. Since their situation becomes more and more critical, especially for those running out of medication, the basic legal rights of HKers and foreign nationals should be well protected. We wish to see their immediate return to #HK safe.

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.

@joshuawongcf
[#HK Christianity becomes #Beiijing’s tool of nationalist propaganda]
1. After textbooks were found censoring #TiananmenSquareMassacre, now even religious textbooks at primary schools were injected w/ Chinese patriotism, asking students to learn from Jesus to love their nation.

[Cherrypicking evidence for #speechcrimes]
1. Hours after #Carrielam’s #freespeech assurance, #HKpolice charges #HK activist #TamTakChi on “uttering seditious words” just because he chanted slogans like “#5DemandsNot1Less”, “revolt” etc. Worse still, Tam's bail bid was banned.

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.

[Cancelling separation of powers in #HK]
1. #Carrielam claimed today there's no separation of powers in HK after #HKGov’s recent textbook censorship. Even the next Chief Justice that she appointed, Andrew Cheung, said in 2008 that separation of powers is enshrined in Basic Law.

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.

[Religious talks via #GoogleMeet allegedly surveilled by #CCP security agency in #HK]
1. @hkcnews_com reports the HKCCCC church held an online talk on Christianity in #China via #googlemeet on Aug 30, illustrating the history of religious policies in China.

[First anniversary of #831 #PrinceEdward attack]
1. In the past year, everything worsens in #HK, with a draconian #NationalSecurityLaw imposed, textbooks censored, #hkprotesters forced into exile, and the fate of 12 asylum seekers now left unknown during detention in #China.

4. With a more stringent #nationalsecuritylaw in #China, as well as other draconian criminal laws #HK doesn’t have, it is worrying that they could be sent to #China’s secret courts & black prisons, with restricted access to lawyers & high risk of forced confession under torture.

[New clampdown on #HK press freedom]

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.

4. Most horrifying thing is, while this time it's an unknown woman waiting for us, next time would that be #secretpolice? In the past, we DID have cases that businessmen were kidnapped by #China's agents right in the heart of #HK, such as Xiao Jianhua and bookseller Lee Bo.
