Xi seized #HongKong. Got away with it. Now boasting about it.
Perpetrated #Uyghur genocide. Got away with it.
We’ve learned no lessons. When he comes for #Taiwan, we will have ourselves to blame. reuters.com/world/china/ch…

I am thinking about @joshuawongcf today, as he spends yet another birthday in prison.
Let us never ever forget #JoshuaWong, and all political prisoners in #HongKong, and let us continue to #FightForFreedom and work to #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners in #HK. twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…

Meanwhile in #HongKong today:
A secondary school suspended 14 students for 3 days as a punishment for “not respecting the flag raising ceremony” as they didn't immediately return to their classroom or the playground for the ceremony.

#HongKong teenagers - minors - sentenced to jail for the first time under the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw: an outrageous injustice.

@benedictrogers
Sentencing teenagers - minors - to jail for expressing an opinion is just outrageous.
This shows how far wrong #HongKong has gone and how serious is the loss of its freedoms & autonomy. It's a totally #CCP-controlled cruel police state.

As #CCP holds 20th Party Congress in just over a week, it is vital for the world to know what #XiJinping is doing to #Uyghurs, #Tibet, #HongKong, his threats to #Taiwan, complicity with #Myanmar & #NorthKorea, crackdown on dissent in #China itself & threats to our freedoms too /

Fresh off the press from @CECCgov on how Hong Kong went from "an open city to a city of fear"

Wow - my friend @tedhuichifung sentenced to 3.5 years in jail in #HongKong in absentia. Yet another outrageous injustice. I am just glad Ted is safely outside #HK.

More grim news out of #HongKong a man has been arrested at a vigil for Queen Elizabeth II outside 🇬🇧 consulate for “sedition” for playing the harmonica & singing “glory to Hong Kong”. twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

@benedictrogers
The #CCP and its quislings in #HongKong are so ludicrously insecure, they’re terrified even of a harmonica 👇 twitter.com/alvinllum/stat…

As we mourn the death of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II at her state funeral today, let us not forget Cardinal Zen who goes on trial in #HongKong today

Jimmy Lai is a billionaire who chose to go against the Beijing government, in his quest for Freedom and Democracy for #HongKong.
He is now facing trails in Jan!
Call on your representatives to ask them to support #JimmyLai

Totally unacceptable & a direct threat to our freedoms
I've been denied entry to #HongKong & threatened under #NationalSecurityLaw
More importantly, I know dissidents from #China currently in danger in UK
@SuellaBraverman @TomTugendhat must act now

A nurse carried a ton of saline solution, medical cotton swabs in areas where protest was happening with thousands of tear gas shot at the protestors...
What would you call her?
A Rioter or
A Medic ?
The same nurse in #HongKong is charged with rioting. twitter.com/inmediahk/stat…
