The #AppleDaily founder has spent more than 300 days in jail this year, making him the highest-profile victim of China’s relentless campaign to bring #HongKong to heel.

The UK has failed to uphold its treaty promises to #HongKong to such a dramatic extent that many have nobody they can vote for in the upcoming (sham) LegCo elections.
Please help amplify @Ray_WongHKI campaign: post a pic of yourself with the hashtag #ReleaseMyCandidate twitter.com/benedictrogers…

I can’t help wishing #HongKong movement would be more explicitly angry about this.
Thanks @tickerNEWSco for letting me say it again. #JimmyLai

Wow: this is, in effect, a protest by millions of people.
Lowest. Turnout. Ever.
#HongKong has shown support for democracy in the only way it could: by staying away.
🇭🇰 Gov funnelled money into bolstering turnout and even made spoiling ballots a crime. The response? 👇 twitter.com/hkfp/status/14…

Under the British colonial rule, there was no democracy in #HongKong at all, and residents there never enjoyed real #democracy, #humanrights and #freedom. But no "democracies" expressed any concern about the lack of democracy then.

Hong Kong Watch is deeply concerned about the police raid on the home of Ronson Chan, head of @HKJA_Official & deputy editor of @StandNewsHK
We will monitor developments, but urge international community to act urgently to defend whatever remains of #PressFreedom in #HongKong twitter.com/krislc/status/…

"These arrests are nothing short of an all-out assault on the freedom of the press in #HongKong, coming just one day after #JimmyLai and six former #AppleDaily journalists received similar charges," said

More savage attacks on media outlets daring to report the news—just another day in the #PRC's #HongKong! The erosion of press freedom under the #NationalSecurityLaw is a disgrace & sends a clear message: #Beijing is a true enemy of freedom. JW

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.

Another one bites the dust. Starting to think Blinken, Truss etc will continue issuing action-free statements about how “China needs to respect media freedom” until there are no real journalists left in #HongKong twitter.com/hkcnews_com/st…
