THREAD: Yesterday our CEO @benedictrogers gave closing speech at #HKBeWater2021 rally for #HongKong in #TrafalgarSquare. "Two years ago today, the people of Hong Kong stood up for freedom itself." You can watch full speech here: bit.ly/35uKDYN #StandWithHongKong
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…

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? #HongKong
屈臣氏「香港真係好靚」蒸餾水 疑字句敏感 百佳突全線下架 真係文革再現 連話靚都驚 hk.appledaily.com/breaking/20210… #HongKong
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…

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 Photo by Kenny Huang
#AppleDaily & press freedom in #HongKong are the latest victims of authoritarianism & the #NationalSecurityLaw. Appeasement is getting us nowhere. JW
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.
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. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/…

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” Athanasius contra mundum this ain’t. via @LauraHarth

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…

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 reuters.com/world/china/ho…

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 bit.ly/364cpLI
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…
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

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

Harcourt Romanticist created a new artwork based on an unforgettable scene from 2 years ago, when #HongKong protesters stormed Legislative Council on the anniversary of the handover. “It feels hypocritical to say add oil, when I also can’t find any,” he wrote.

"If this regime gets away with what it has done to #HongKong, it won’t stop there. It will be emboldened in its aggression toward Taiwan, & it will continue encroaching on our liberties, too. We can’t kowtow any longer" @benedictrogers in @nypost today nypost.com/2021/06/30/on-…

Heavy police presence in #HongKong to stamp out any expression of dissent on the centennial anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party. In Causeway Bay, officers found a banner from a man that said “the city will never die.”

In its 99th year, the #CCP covered up a pandemic, causing untold death and suffering, continued atrocities against #Uyghurs, #Tibetans and other minorities, and exacted an all-out assault on human rights in #HongKong. Nothing to celebrate. twitter.com/sophia_yan/sta…
