4. With our unbeatable determination for liberty, the draconian law marks the beginning of #HKers’ real struggle for freedoms without fear. No matter what will happen to me in the future, I will continue taking part in local protests and international advocacy.

2/ On the contrary, the pro-#China supporter was praised for his noble sentiment & sentenced to shorter periods of imprisonment, after he stabbed innocent reporters & #HKers with cleaver & knife at #Lennonwall, leaving victims broken bones, collapsed lung & post-traumatic stress.

Happy birthday to @durov, founder of @telegram, which powers leaderless movt against authoritarian rules & censorship in #Hongkong & #Belarus, and enhances our resilience against #China’s oppression & #policebrutality. #HKers owe you for what you've done.

2/ As this movement is leaderless, I think this honor belongs to #HKProtesters. 2019 is the watershed in #hongkong's history. In the past 6 months, #HKers have been fighting hard with tears, sweat and blood. 6000 of us were arrested, 1,000 persecuted and more crackdowns underway.

9/ When more people who defend against an evil law fall behind bars, it only reveals the injustice of the system. June 12 of 2019 was the time when #HKers came up with our 5 demands & urged for a more accountable & democratic gov, and an independent probe into police atrocities.

4. Facing the shared destiny under tyrannical rules, we are all the oppressed. #Hongkongers can feel #Belarusians’ pain and sense of injustice, and therefore #HKers will #StandwithBelarus in their fight for democracy.

[First #hkprotesters, then teachers & lawmakers, now reporters, who's next?]
1 4months under #nationalsecuritylaw, #hkpolice just arrested a reporter #ChoyYukLing for using car records to identify assailants of #YuenLongMobAttack on #HKers in documentary

#Hkers plz rmb who @RepChrisSmith is. He was the original sponsor of the #HKHRDA in 2014❗️When no one cared HK, he alrdy helped push the act.
Five yrs later, after many attempts, the act is likely to be signed by the President at last. We need to thank him. #HKers admire you.

5. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, no one would know if you will be tailed by security agents next time. But despite all forces and fear, #HKers will continue our fight for justice, as our spirit of resistance will never die. #savehk12youths #savehk12youth

6. In the face of all these uncertainties, it becomes more imperative for me to use every remaining moment in the city's fight for liberty and justice. Therefore, I will continue standing with freedom-loving #HKers and fight for a better future for the city's next generations.

4. But when we see brave #Belarusian and #Thai people still fighting for hope and justice under the iron fist, #HKers' fight will go on.

Just as Martin Luther King Jr. said, "The ultimate tragedy isn’t oppression & cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.” #HKers have chosen to give a resounding no to Beijing’s oppression, & we will continue our cause for democracy in #NewYear2020.

9/ 8936 #HKers were put under arrest by #hkpolice during #HKProtest since 2019 with 1808 of them prosecuted. For those charged with rioting, the figure is 612. Just a coincidence, 6.12 was was the day when half million HKers took to streets to oppose the evil extradition in 2019.

3. You may wonder what #HKers can still do under draconian #nationalsecuritylaw, arbitrary arrests, unchecked police violence that even targets pregnant women, and also the detentions of 12 asylum seekers in #China, with their fate still unknown for nearly 2 weeks.

72
5/ Without effective checks & balances, #Policeviolence will just prevail without consequences. Under #China’s iron fist, #policebrutality becomes unerasable, only paving way to authoritarianism. It's the reason why #HKers' cause for democracy is only way to bring justice to HK.
