6. In fact, throughout #hkprotests last year, #HKers were reportedly subject to brutal tortures in detention centres. As #nationalsecuritylaw allows indefinite detention w/o trials and bail, it is worrying that this kind of Chinese-style black prison will become prevalent in #HK.
77
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.

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 -an open letter to @SecPompeo co-signed by disbanded @demosisto & #HKers

2/ Today’s decision is a direct assault on the will of #HKers. China is scrapping its promise of autonomy under the Joint Declaration, a legally binding international treaty, & burying 1Country2System when a #secretpolice agency can enforce #China’s laws within territory of HK.

Thank you #StandNews for making this infographic. Tdy is the the District Council Election in #HongKong And the turnout skyrockets significantly. #HKers will use our ballots to show our unity. Free World plz helps us monitor the HK government won’t disrupt our election.
81
3. #HKers can also be taken to #China’s courts w/o legal access, just like #12hkyouths now detained for nearly one month. Their family-instructed lawyers are reportedly forced to quit the case under #Beijing's pressure. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
82
7/ In the face of tyranny, #HKers and people in #Belarus face the shared destiny of the oppressed, from #policebrutality, election frauds to the crackdowns on civil society. We hope the world can #standwithbelarus and other democracy pursuers in other places like #Thailand.
83
3. Four years ago, no one would believe what had happened in #HK, with #policebrutality, arbitrary prosecution, draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, censorship, disqualification, election cancellation and media meltdown, with 9000+ #HKers arrested and 12 youths now detained in #China.
84
2. Under #Beijing’s grip, when blank placards are regarded as subversive, w/ liberal books pulled from libraries and #TiananmenSquareMassacre censored, no #HKers can tell whether they'll be safe in the next minute. All we can do is fighting for the best & preparing for the worst
85
In a failed state like #Hongkong, #Carrielam only knows how to suppress, but not govern. What #HKers should do is not merely #FreeHongKong, but also save Hong Kong.
86
3/ Yan provided first aid services to #HKers. He said one of the patients suffered from severe brain bleed & concussion during detention. X-rays showed that the wound was made by blunt force. The victim has lost his sense of taste & fails to distinguish hot things & sour taste.
87
2/ However, over past 8 months, #Beijing and #HKGov have intensified its strong-arm policies on #HKers. Extra 2.5 billion dollars have been spent on expanding police forces, with its budget on purchasing teargas & rubber bullets tripled.
88
[#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.
89
It is unimaginable those governing an #IFC as advanced, educated, free and socially mature as #HongKong would deploy such low and despicable skills in politicking by holding #HKers to ransom! If we don’t agree to let #HKPolice buy new weapons, no $10000 #COVIDー19 relief payout. twitter.com/hkladyliberty/…
90
6/ To protect our #Belarusian fellows from crackdowns, #HKers call upon @Cellebrite_UFED and Israeli government to stop exporting cyber forensics technologies to #Belarus. #EU should impose export bans on all equipment that can be used for international repression in Belarus.
91
It is vital that we do everything possible to help #HongKongers protect the Cantonese language, as #CCP tries to erode #HongKong identity within #HK and as more #HKers move into exile The quest to save Cantonese in a world dominated by Mandarin latimes.com/california/sto…
92
Tmr #HK will hv another large-scale rally which we hope more than a million of #HKers can assemble to demonstrate our solidarity and determination. I am invited to give a speech tmr. We censure police brutality and demand for universal suffrage. We will not yield❗️see u tmr ❗️
93
3. That’s another case that #Hongkong judges biasedly praise pro-#Beijing assailants. Earlier in April, HK judge hailed another assailant for having "noble sentiments” after he slashed three #HKers with beef knife, causing one's lung collapsed and wounds on their necks and backs.
94
We welcome reports that the #Australian Government is considering fast-tracking skilled visa applications for #Hkers. We hope this is the start of a review of Australia's #Lifeboat policy, which will allow more young #HKers the opportunity to work, study, and live in Australia. twitter.com/SenPaterson/st…
95
If such police brutal behaviour continues to be condoned and goes unpunished, how can #HKers feel safe and live in dignity to enjoy life with freedom and human rights sufficiently protected? #PoliceBrutality #FightForFreedom #StandWithHongKong twitter.com/HKGlobalConnec…

#HongKongers: on Tuesday 12 April, we will be hosting an event in Sutton to help #HKers in UK understand how to engage in our forthcoming local government elections. Come and join me and @hk_watch team, as well as @nathanlawkc and representatives of major political parties 👇

Thank you for speaking up for #HKers again. Last time when I met Sen. @HawleyMO in #HK was back in Oct, but I still rmb how impressed I was for his passion to help HK. Senator is right. We r fighting against the autocratic Communist China which marks this Christmas Eve notable... twitter.com/HawleyMO/statu…

2. As #China fears #HKers’ daring to speak and think freely, #hkpolice raided the office of PORI tonight, co-organizer of primary election. Before that, PORI was subject to waves of hacking and attacks by pro-Beijing media. All these are meant to create fear to scare people off.
