Just so sad.
Will the arrest of Cardinal Zen - a great man - be enough to get @Pontifex to break his silence on the assault against #HongKong’s freedoms? Don’t hold your breath. 😞 twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

The 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund provided support for the injured and arrested in the #HongKong protests.
The arrest of Dr. Po-Keung Hui at the airport, before arresting the remaining fund trustees afterwards on NSL charges, proves that there’s a list of people who cannot leave.

I have grave concerns about this visit
@mbachelet must ensure she is not used for #CCP mendacious propaganda, that she raises #HongKong, #Tibet, forced organ harvesting & persecution of Christians as well as #UyghurGenocide, and that she tells the truth
