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.

[#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

@joshuawongcf
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

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.

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.

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.

[#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.

@joshuawongcf
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.

@joshuawongcf
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.

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.

[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.

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…

[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.

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.

@joshuawongcf
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.

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

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

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.

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

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…
