The people of #HongKong are seeking dialogue & democracy, not beatings & bullets. I am saddened to see these scenes of violence against unarmed protesters & hope that #Taiwan can continue to serve as a beacon of democracy for those who seek freedom.
The arrests of #StandNews staff & singer Denise Ho @hoccgoomusic are yet another example of the Beijing authorities' crackdown on free speech in #HongKong. We in #Taiwan regret to see their detention & call on the international community to stand up for freedom & democracy in HK.
Majestic #Taiwan night. #HongKong is also in view. 幻想的な #台湾 の夜景。#香港 も左側に見えます。

In these troubled times when Hongkong is torn up by Beijing, the wisdom of our last governor, Chris Patten, inspired me to persist. Thank you for standing with us. #HongKong

Before #Beijing is getting ready to impose the most controversial national security law upon #HongKong tonight. I unusually failed to post anything on my Facebook Page. #Article23 #nationalsecuritylaw #Hongkong

White-collar professionals were escaping the tear gas attack by the barbarian riot police. Most of them were out for lunch. Would an accountable government allow such a mess that happened at their financial city center? Even city’s elites are no longer safe. #HongKong

中国政府による香港への国家安全法の一方的な導入に反対する共同声明。現在26か国233人の議会人が署名しています。現時点で日本からは私と山田宏議員の2人。 9時37分から法務委で問題提起します。検察定年延長問題も。国内でも国外でも権力に対する意思表示なしに法の支配は守れない。 #HongKong

#HongKong should have been voting today. Instead they’re picking brualised schoolgirls up off the tarmac. Take a bow, international community. You allowed this to happen by legitimising the CCP Party-state. twitter.com/JackHHazlewood…
.@JimmyLaiApple’s arrest is another example of how freedom & human rights have been eroded in #HongKong. Although our political opinions may sometimes differ, I admire Jimmy’s courage & his pursuit of freedom & democracy. Now it’s more important than ever to #StandWithHongKong.

1/ It is crazy for #hkpolice to arrest the 81-yo veteran democrat #MartinLee, the Father of Democracy. He is the one who helped draft #HK’s basic law under #1country2systems. For almost 40 years, he has been promoting democracy and human rights in #HongKong.

Winning an election is subversion of the state. Ok then. A reminder that we signed a treaty promising to protect #HongKong from stuff like this. Where are those promises now? twitter.com/HKDemocrats/st…
It was a pleasure to meet with @UKinTaiwan Representative Nettleton today at the Presidential Office to discuss #Taiwan-#UK exchanges on #COVID19 vaccines, the situation in #HongKong, & our commitment to our countries’ shared values.

テレ東、すげぇ。最前線で独自の取材をして放送。東大卒のボランティア救護班の女性に密着。日本に関わりのある人を出すことで日本人にもアピールできる。#香港 #HongKong #香港デモ

①「香港」への連帯、新たに野党議員16名追加。自民党からも6名追加と伺いました。したがって、現時点で合計102名(自民党64名、野党38名)の方から意思表明頂きました。 本当にありがとうございます。これだけの日本の議員が世界の議会人と連帯して香港市民を支えます。#HongKong

Hundreds of #HongKong demonstrators join a praying session in Chater Garden in Central, praying for the injured in the #HongKongProtests. After singing the protest anthem just now, they’re now forming human chain around Govt buildings near area

As the #CCP begins its #ChinaNationalDay celebrations, I have handwritten this personal message for the peoples of #China, #Tibet, #HongKong, #EastTurkistan, #Uyghurs and #Taiwan, and for everyone suffering under #XiJinping's regime With 💕and 🙏and solidarity
Watching Revolution of Our Times @RoOT_film reminded me of the people of #HongKong’s tremendous courage in defending their freedoms. Their struggles are a lesson to us all that we cannot compromise when it comes to the universal values of freedom & democracy. #時代革命
We learned that Roman Ratushnyi (24), a Ukrainian activist who had been a long time supporter of #HongKong’s democracy movement, was killed while defending his homeland of #Ukraine🇺🇦 against the Russian invaders. Rest in peace, brother. HongKongers will always remember you. 🕯

1. THREAD: Amid a series of strong UK responses — the Huawei ban and the suspension of its extradition treaty with #HongKong among them — to growing signs of Chinese imperialism, @SecPompeo paid an important visit to London, where he and I had a great conversation yesterday.

BREAKING: after months of campaigning, the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal has decided to PROSECUTE Junius Ho and have referred him to a special tribunal (the process to strike him from the UK register). A little piece of good news for #HongKong #sorrynotsorry
The international community is seriously concerned about the clashes between police & protesters in #HongKong. Violent suppression is not a solution. To return to peace & prosperity, the Hong Kong authorities must address the public’s aspirations for democracy & freedom.
