WOW! Lithuania throws open the doors to #HongKongers - even those with NO PASSPORT?!
I was with @Adomenas in #HongKong Nov 2019. He is a true friend to the city. And, like most Lithuanians, knows what oppression feels like.

The #US stands with #HongKongers? Who on earth are they? Why not give these people Green Cards or citizenship right away? Look at #Afghanistan, #Iraq and #Syria. Whomever the US claims to "stand with" will end up in big troubles & instability.

To the world,
It is time to act.

The UK’s failure to enforce the Joint Declaration has resulted in hundreds of innocent #HongKongers jailed.

Quoted in this. If @FCDOGovUK @GOVUK won’t protect their own citizens - even MPs - from Beijing’s constant harassment, safe bet they are they doing nothing to help #Uyghurs and #HongKongers who are suffering immeasurably worse.

It is a tragic sign of the deteriorating human rights situation in #HK that nearly 10,000 #HongKongers applied for Canada's Young Talent's Work Visa & a further 5,000 applied to study in Canada last year. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

A week ago, two letters landed in my in-box. One from #HKPF; one from #HongKong's National Security Bureau. Both threatened me, as co-founder of @hk_watch, of violating #NationalSecurityLaw
Today, I have written this, in response to them & in solidarity with all #HongKongers 💕

Such an amazing privilege to be with #HongKongers last night singing #GloryToHongKong at @RoOT_film UK premiere.
So incredibly moving.

Bye bye #CarrieLam. Will you one day apologise for the damage you have done to #HongKong?
#CCP #XiJinping has already handpicked #HK's new quisling Chief Executive and #HongKongers are denied any say in who governs them

It is vital that we do everything possible to help #HongKongers protect the Cantonese language, as #CCP tries to erode #HongKong identity within #HK and as more #HKers move into exile

THREAD: I want to share a few reflections & principles about why - & how - I try to support #HongKong's #FightForFreedom, have done so for the past 8 years
1. The most important point is that I have never, ever claimed to represent #HongKongers. All I try to do is support /

#HongKongers - I have written this message, following the "selection" ("sham election") of #CCP quisling thug #JohnLee as #HongKong's new Chief Executive.
Hope it makes you smile in these dark times.
