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.

11/ In recent weeks #HKers have regained momentum & #policebrutality persists, with 13yo student reporter arrested & kid dragged on the ground by #hkpolice. As our autonomy & freedoms are once again in peril, I call upon the world to keep an eye on #HK’s situation & #standwithhk.

2/ It's fiercely imposed by Beijing upon the will of #HKers, without legislative scrutiny. Even tens of thousands of #HKers showed their outcry against draconian law, #hkpolice crushed dissents with armed vehicles, water cannons, teargas & pepper balls but #YouCantStopUs!

#HKPolice fired rubber bullets at protesters defying #China ’s push. Hundreds have been arrested. @joshuawongcf and I witnessed the first round of tear gas since the COVID19 lockdown. #HKers will never back down and will resist the #NationalSecurityLaw. #StandWithHongKong

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.

1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.

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.
34
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…

From last year’s anti-extradition movement to recent national security law legislation, the deterioration of democracy in #HongKong concerns me & many in #Taiwan. At #CDS2020, I reaffirmed our resolve to stand in solidarity with #HKers who cherish freedom & #DefendDemocracy.
37
China's disregard for the will of Hong Kong’s people proves that “one country, two systems” is not viable. Many things have changed in #HongKong since 1997, but #Taiwan’s commitment to supporting those #HKers who want freedom & democracy has never changed. #StandWithHongKong

[First day of national security law: #HKers will not surrender]
1/ When #Beijing has defied social oppositions and enacted the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw in #HK, The UK government has offered an important lifeboat by opening path to citizenship for #HKers.

Pro-democracy primaries start today! This might be the first and last time that my name can appear on ballots under #nationalsecuritylaw. Despite #Beijing’s mounting threat, #HKers will show our determination for liberty today and let our voices be heard: We will not surrender!

Update: Over 130,000 #HKers have cast their votes in #HKprimaries today amid #Beijng's threat. At one of polling stations in Tin Shui Wai, hundreds of voters have been queuing up for more than two hours in order to cast their ballots in this presumably last free election of #HK. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

When #China fails to silence #HK's dissents with fear, it appeals to force. Pro-#Beijing thugs disturbed one of our booths this evening when we urged more #HKers to vote. Also, helpers of other democratic parties were reportedly assaulted by Beijing supporters. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

1. Today is the last day for our pro-democracy primaries. Over 230,000 #HKers have already cast their votes yesterday, well exceeding the original target turnout. With this significant turnout, I am really proud of everyone who has queued and waited in the summer heat.

@joshuawongcf
Update: With courage and tenacity, over 412,000 #HKers have already cast their ballots, for the first 7 hours today. This is the silent protest of all freedom-loving citizens in #Hongkong to say no to the sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

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.
