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.

Absurd, even for Hong Kong in 2020. This is a transparent attempt to scare #HK Twitter into silence. They know how influential it has been among Western politicians. Don’t fall for it. It just underlines the power and necessity of your voice. hk.appledaily.com/news/20201212/…

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…
The decision to impose #NationalSecurityLegislation on #HongKong by the #NPC shatters #China's solemn promise in 1997 to respect #HK's autonomy & freedoms. Now is the time for democracies to #StandWithHongKong! #Taiwan will be ready to offer necessary humanitarian assistance. JW

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…

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”.

Lots of Qs today: “why do you keep running campaigns against Junius Ho.” A: he embodies the worst aspects of pro-establishment corruption in #HK. Won’t stop until he has a cabinet full of revoked privileges. #Holyfinished #sorrynotsorry twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

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.

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 reuters.com/world/china/ho…
