#BREAKING hearing that @GOVUK is about to make a BIG announcement regarding UK Judges in #HongKong If it what we expect, massive kudos to @MPIainDS @Siobhain_Mc @ipacglobal and the wonderful team of #HK lawyers who worked so hard behind the scenes, especially @chungchingkwong

Citizen News, another prominent pro-democracy online media in HK, has announced their closure just days after #HK police raided Stand News, arrested 7 and charged 2 of them with publishing seditious contents. twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

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/…

DCer Lester Shum, who wanted to run for #Legco DC superseat, says scale of #DQ was surprising & “insane” “Only mild opposition of #NSL, which majority of #HK held this position, is not allowed. #Beijing’s clear msg - no opposition voices in #HongKong. This is end of HK polls”

🚨 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…

2. But when he sued for injury compensation, #HK legal aid dept, not only unreasonably rejected his request but also prejudicially supported #HKpolicebrutality, saying "the use of force by the Police at the material time was reasonable" before trials and rulings even begin.

🇬🇧Lord Patten, a Patron of HKW and the last governor of #HK, commented on the letter to Hong Kong Watch issued by the national security department of HK

Concerning to see veteran journalists leaving #HK for #UK citing a “white terror sweeping” the city that is seeing a growing number of journalists targeted under the National Security Law. ft.com/content/d9ca86…

2. Wonderful story by @BBC on how I was tailed by 3 unknown cars and 1 motorbike on the day that I applied to run for #HK legislature. bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-…
We are very sorry for this person's loss. Even when this person previously declared that #HongKong people should die instantly. #HK #China @lokmantsui @jajia #TheGreatTranslationMovement #大翻译运动

Looks like the battle for control of Legislative Council has begun! #CCP tactics for September elections appear to be suppression and disqualifying dissidents from running. If liberal democracies do not #StandWithHK, the #HK we know will disappear fast! wsj.com/articles/hong-…

3/ In fact, the world has already expressed concern over the evil & ill-defined #nationasecuritylaw that will kill democratisation in #HK and harm global business interest in HK. But China keeps dismissing all doubts from world leaders, business sectors and even bar associations.
Article 43 of the #NationalSecurityLaw for #HongKong pertains to foreign governments, as well as #Taiwan & social media. The legislation already deprives #HK people of freedom & basic rights. Now it's going further! Democracies must act together & #StandWithHongKong.

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

Alright, alright. Yes. Me, @Billbrowder and others named in #AndyLi case were called in for meetings with @GOVUK about #HK Can’t comment on the meeting, but can say what’s reported (Cantonese) here by @krislc and the🧵 👇 voacantonese.com/a/Cantonese-kc…

For Andy and the #12HKyouths, it must've been a foreboding of endless harassment and unfair trials under a questionable legal system in #HK that would have taken away their free lives. They were fleeing from a place that's crumbling into a Orwellian police state. #save12hkyouths twitter.com/HK_diaries/sta…

#HongKong activist @joshuawongcf says they’ve obtained from “source” a roster of the #HK Govt Flying Service, indicating the morning when a GFS flight was sent to Sai Kung as #12hkers went on a speedboat, it was a #HongKongPolice operation. Wong says activists know.....

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.
148
Yes. And if this is the case for FULL BRITISH CITIZENS imagine what it’s like for British Nationals (Overseas). You don’t have to imagine. Look at the denied requests for consular sanctuary in #HK. twitter.com/patrickwintour…
