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

Breaking:#ICAC has just obtained arrest warrants for me, @nathanlawkc and others for calling #HK people to boycott the “election”
#HKers will not accept the latest electoral reform. No democrats can run for the office without kowtowing to Beijing.
We MUST boycott the election.

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.

5/ #Hongkongers are not merely the people living in #HK or speaking Cantonese, but also those who strive to safeguard liberal values and democracy that we all cherish and #StandwithHK under authoritarian oppression, no matter who you are and where you live.

Bye bye #CarrieLam. Will you one day apologise for the damage you have done to #HongKong?
#CCP #XiJinping has already handpicked #HK's new quisling Chief Executive and #HongKongers are denied any say in who governs them

4. Clearly it is the largest election fraud in #HK’s history. But #Beijing cannot overturn the strong mandate of 610,000 #Hongkongers who had cast their ballots the city's first-ever #hkprimaries early this month.

Happy this was picked up in #HK. They haven't managed to shut down the press just yet.

2. The letter quotes following as excuses:
-@appledaily_hk coverage of my speech at @CECCgov public hearing on #HK autonomy
-my @washingtonpost op-ed commenting on #Beijing’s move to expelling US journalists

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…

Was asked by a journalist the other day if I’ve had any cyber intimidation since being vocal on #Uyghurs #HK etc.
Actually quite surprising to see it all written down. And this is *nothing* compared to what people like @xu_xiuzhong and diaspora groups endure.
It won’t work.

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.

We welcome the adoption by @EP_ForeignAff of a new EU-China Strategy which includes making ratification of #CAI dependent on China recommitting to #HK's autonomy under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. This is something we will continue to campaign for. europarl.europa.eu/doceo/document…

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…

Great to hear that #Australia will soon join the UK, Canada, the EU, and the USA in having a #Magnitsky style sanctions regime. Hopefully once in place they will consider using this sanctions regime with key allies against #HK officials guilty of human rights violations. twitter.com/SenPaterson/st…

[#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.

⚖️Tam Tak-chi, is the first person to be prosecuted for sedition under the colonial-era sedition law, which has recently seen a revival from the national security police as part of its ongoing crackdown on human rights in #HK.
