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.
29
3. Since it could be the first case that #HKers are put on trial in China’s secret court under #nationalsecuritylaw, we hope the world can keep watch on the situation and wish they can all come back safe. #save12hkyouths #save12hkyouth #save12

2. Amid textbook censorship, #HKers feel their pains. Please listen to their message to the world - Thai education has made us puppets. We are not robots of the system, we are the youth and have the right to express ourselves. #หนูรู้หนูมันเลว #standwiththailand #MilkTeaAlliance
31
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.
32
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.

[In every 700 #Hongkongers, one was arrested because of #HongKongProtests]
1. Since the outbreak of #HKprotests last year, 9672 #HKers have been arrested when they protested against injustice, with 2093 prosecuted.
34
After one year, #HKPoliceBrutality intensifies. Tonight #hkpolice suddenly charged at unarmed #HKers causing chaos that made a pregnant woman fallen on the ground. #Police then pepper-sprayed reporters to stop them from reporting. #HongKongProtests twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

[Biggest rewriting of history]
1 Today #hkpolice arrested lawmaker @cheuktinglam for rioting, just because Lam tried to mediate situation one year ago when #HKers were assaulted by pro-#Beijing mobs after making 24,000 emergency calls, without response.
38
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.

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.
40
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.
41
[#HKers calling on #Cellebrite to halt selling phone hacking technologies to #Belarus] #standwithbelarus
1/ Phone hacking tech is one of the weapons abused by authoritarian regimes to stamp out dissidents, in particular, crackdowns on leaderless movements in both Belarus and HK.
42
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.

[My thought after HK police issued arrest warrants to my friends]

1/When #HKers hope to secure a historic majority in the upcoming election, Gov postponed election & asked #Beijing to deal with whether and how incumbent lawmakers can extend their tenure.
45
5. However, in order to safeguard the city’s future, #HKers will not surrender. Our resistance will continue on and we hope the world can stand with us in the upcoming uphill battle.

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

[#Beijing is paving ways to disqualify pro-democracy candidates]
1. Despite 610,000+ #HKers voting in first-ever #hkprimaries, pro-democracy candidates started receiving letters from #HKgov questioning their political stances, including whether they support #nationalsecuritylaw
49
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.

Incredible story by @StandNewsHK on why #HKers vote in #HKprimaries.
We vote as we want to speak freely.
We vote as we oppose arbitrary arrest & censorship.
We vote as we want our kids can live w/o fear.
We vote as we want our voices heard by the world.
We vote as we still can.
