We condemn the targeting & arrests of the trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund, including Margaret Ng & Hui app-keung Po, under the National Security Law in #HK and call on the international community to urgently press for their release. twitter.com/krislc/status/…

Yesterday evening the @UKHouseofLords debated an urgent question from HKW Patron @DavidAltonHL on #NSL arrests in #HK. This thread covers key highlights from that debate.

‼️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.

#NEW major legal opinion on judicial independence in #HongKong released, featuring major judicial figures in 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇨🇦

110 🇬🇧lawmakers this week have written to @trussliz calling for an audit of #HK & #CCP officials assets in the UK as a pathway to introducing #Sanctions, citing our research which has found that 5 officials & 6 lawmakers own 🏡in London. scmp.com/news/china/art…

Absolutely thrilled to receive a review copy of The #HongKong Diaries by the Last Governor, & @hk_watch Patron, Lord Patten.
I profoundly support his message on the back cover of the book, that #HK's #FightForFreedom is our fight
I look forward to reading & reviewing it soon
260
🚨 Wow. On the eve of the handover of #HK the PM for the VERY FIRST TIME speaks about “holding China to its commitments”. Does this mean we will finally see some accountability and action? #SanctionsNow #BeyondBNO twitter.com/BorisJohnson/s…

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.
262
Entirely unacceptable targeting of #HK pro-democracy activists overseas. Former lawmaker @tedhuichifung & his family has every right to enjoy their lives in 🇦🇺 without being attacked by CCP agents. Sending our thoughts to @tedhuichifung. twitter.com/Auhongkonglink…

Over the last month there have been further arrests & trials of #PoliticalPrisoners in HK, the introduction of more #NationalSecurity courses at #HK universities & schools, & the publication of a new cybercrime law consultation paper. You can read more 👇 hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/2022…

We’re surprised to see members of John Lee’s new #EXECO in #HK are still keen to squirrel their wealth in overseas 🏡 away from #CCP, including new Health Secretary Lo Chung-mau, who owns a flat with his wife in London 🇬🇧. #SanctionHKOfficials ceo.gov.hk/exco/eng/inter…

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.

🇨🇦 19 parliamentarians in Canada have written to the Minister of Global Affairs and the Minister of Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship, calling for the extension and expansion of the #OpenWorkPermit for #HongKongers. #CanadaLifeboat #HK
268
This foreign interference from #CCP threatening 🇨🇦 journalists under the #HK #NationalSecurityLaw is completely unacceptable & must be strongly rebuffed by 🇨🇦Gov. nationalpost.com/news/canada/ho…

We call for the 🇨🇦 Canadian government to lift the 5 years graduation restriction for the OWP and stream B, and expand the lifeboat scheme to help Human rights defenders in #HK

Wow - my friend @tedhuichifung sentenced to 3.5 years in jail in #HongKong in absentia. Yet another outrageous injustice. I am just glad Ted is safely outside #HK.

I am thinking about @joshuawongcf today, as he spends yet another birthday in prison.
Let us never ever forget #JoshuaWong, and all political prisoners in #HongKong, and let us continue to #FightForFreedom and work to #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners in #HK. twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…
