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…

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.

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…

This is leadership. He didn’t have to do this, and it won’t be easy. But his example will help to diminish stigma around asylum among #HKers (there’s currently a lot of it). Thank you, ⁦@nathanlawkctheguardian.com/world/2020/dec…

An open letter today from #hkprotestors who are now detained in prisons for their democratic causes. Fighting a common battle to safeguard liberties, #HKers share our fellow #Thais’ feelings & will #standwithThailand in their fight against tyranny together. #MilkTeaAlliance

[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 hongkongfp.com/2020/11/03/bre…

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

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.

From the peak of the city’s iconic mountain, #HKers shined 12 laser beams to call for saving #12hkyouths, who have been detained for 51 days on their refugee journey to #Taiwan. #save12hkyouths #save12

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. bbc.co.uk/news/technolog…

[#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.

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…

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.

[#Portugese 🇵🇹 & #UK’s #BNO holders 🇬🇧 detained in #China for over 3 weeks] 1. Of the 12 #HKers detained in #China, one is reportedly #Portuguese passport holder while another two are #BNO holders. They are held w/o legal access, sparking growing concern of inhumane treatment.

When #Hongkong is turning into a #policestate, I heartily thank @PoulterWill for standing with #HKers and speaking up against injustice and oppression in the city. In fact, I am a big fan of #BlackMirror #Bandersnatch and #MazeRunner series too! twitter.com/PoulterWill/st…
