On the eve of the first anniversary of the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw that has destroyed #HongKong’s freedoms, and the 24th anniversary of the handover of #HK as well as #CPC100, we will continue to #FightForFreedom #StandWithHongKong. #NothingtoCelebrate #CPC100

As we mark 1 year since the imposition of the #NSL, we partnered with 🇪🇺MEPs in calling on the Slovenian Presidency of the Council of the EU and HR/VP Borrell to take action against China's human rights abuses in #HongKong
It's #TimeToSanctionHK officials responsible for the NSL

Thanks for continuously voicing out for #HongKong. The EU🇪🇺 needs to take concrete actions urgently to demonstrate itself as a global guardian for democracy and freedom! twitter.com/MiriamMLex/sta…

In a new interview with @cnalive, our Chief Executive @benedictrogers says democracies must speak out for #HongKong
"If we don’t speak out, who will?” he asked
China’s ‘killing’ of Hong Kong paper has ‘serious implications’ for religious liberty

The arrest of Fung Wai-kong at #HongKong airport is outrageous
We call on @BorisJohnson @DominicRaab to act urgently to call for his release, stop arresting journalists & pressure #HK authorities not to prevent those who wish to leave from doing so

We need URGENT action from @DominicRaab @BorisJohnson re: a COMPLETELY INNOCENT #HongKong newspaper editorial writer being arrested en route to the UK - probably hoping to participate in the BNO scheme. This makes a mockery of our treaty promises. #Enough twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

Truly shocking abdication of responsibility from the Vatican here.
Secretary for International Affairs declines to comment on #HongKong because “we are still not convinced it would make any difference”

Thanks @JoeBiden for supporting #HongKong.
#CCP will stop at nothing if it can act with impunity.
It is time for the United States, the only country founded based on the idea of freedom and liberty, to ACT.

I’m deeply saddened by the forced shutdown of #AppleDailyHK. But despite this setback, I want to tell the people of #HongKong that #Taiwan will always stand with you in your struggle for freedom. Your dreams of democracy are the seeds of a better future for Hong Kong & the world.

#AppleDaily & press freedom in #HongKong are the latest victims of authoritarianism & the #NationalSecurityLaw. Appeasement is getting us nowhere. JW

A very beautiful scene tonight at the headquarters of Hong Kong’s #AppleDaily, the only pro-democracy newspaper in #HongKong that is forced to fold due to political pressure after 26 years

Breaking promises on #HongKong is #CCP SOP. They've violated the 2011 agreement by trying to force our officials to sign letters of commitment to "one #China" & accept Beijing's sovereignty over #Taiwan. No dice! Our people can't abide & are home with their heads held high. JW twitter.com/NikkeiAsia/sta…

Today, 500 political police raided Apple Daily, the most critical newspaper in Hong Kong. The editor-in-chief is arrested for “collusion with foreign forces.”
Independent journalism in HK is a crime and threatens China's "national security." How fragile is the country?

Authoritarianism is waging a brutal war on @appledaily_hk, a desperately endangered symbol of freedom in #HongKong. I'm out of words to describe my anger & sadness at witnessing this tragedy. JW twitter.com/BBCWorld/statu…

HKW patron @amcarmichaelMP calls for the Government to challenge @HSBC_UK @StanChart
support for the #NationalSecurityLaw and says to allow them to operate as normal in the UK seems to run contradictory to what the UK Gov says about its intentions towards #HongKong.

What we are seeing in Hong Kong is a two-pronged assault on truth. @MrJohnNicolson outlines how Beijing is using the #NationalSecurityLaw to target journalists in #HongKong and China.

A clip of @Tom_Randall fantastic speech in today's Westminster Hall debate on the human rights situation in #HongKong, detailing the way the #NationalSecurityLaw has been used to silence dissent in the city.
