[City-wide testing by three #China-based laboratories, with one allegedly involved in DNA collections of #Uyghurs] 1/ #Hkgov has just announced a city-wide #Covid19 testing. Without proper tendering procedures, #Carrielam directly granted 150,000,000 HKD for the project.
#Breaking news by @appledaily_hk: #12hkyouths’ speedboat was allegedly tracked by #Hkgov aircraft before capture. Family members suspect that #HK gov cooperated w/ #China and helped Chinese cops to arrest the 12 #AsylumSeekers after their #refugee route was known. #save12hkyouths
1/ It is my honor to share with @MarshaBlackburn the latest update in #HK on the call. #Beijing & #Hkgov prioritize crackdown of dissidence over health of #HKers. Director of #China’s office in #HK even called democracy movement as “political #coronavirus” & urged to suppress.
1/ It's terribly alarming that #HKGov barred Kenneth Roth from #HongKong for no reason. It well illustrates how #Hkgov now cooperates with #CCP to deliberately undermine our international human rights system.
5. Up to now, #Hkgov & #hkpolice downplay the whole incident. It casts further shadows over #nationalsecuritylaw as #HKgov will offer nearly no help when #Hongkongers and foreigners are extradited to #China and face inhuman and unfair treatment in secret trials and dark prisons.
5. While #Hkgov claims the new law only affects a small group of people, the reality is clearly the exact opposite. Under #CCP's tightening red line and its #wolfwarriordiplomacy, it becomes clear that the regime will stifle dissents with all weapons in its toolkits.
2. More ridiculously, education bureau once published a slide in 2011 on its website citing Court of Final Appeal judge that HK practised separation of powers. But in order to fit the new narrative, #Hkgov just deleted the slide today.
2. No inflow curb: test can only be achieved w/ full border seal, stay-at-home order & full population testing in short time. All don’t exist in HK. As #Hkgov now exempt tens of thousands ppl from quarantine, main factor for #HK third wave, the test is deemed to failure w/ leaks.
