[I was just disqualified from LegCo election, despite being the biggest winner in #Hkprimaries]
1. Few minutes ago, I was just disqualified from running in the upcoming LegCo election in #Hongkong, even though I got the highest vote share in the primary, w/ 30000+ votes obtained

It’s my pleasure to speak with @jonsnowC4. Indeed, under #nationalsecuritylaw, continuing to fight for freedoms in #Hongkong is always risking our life by #Beijing, but that is the duty of our generation to carry on the cause. twitter.com/jonsnowC4/stat…

Had a very constructive and fruitful conversation with the shadow Foreign Secretary @lisanandy and shadow Minister for Asia and Pacific @SKinnock. Exchanged a lot of thoughts on #China & #Hongkong, also action items. More to go. twitter.com/lisanandy/stat…

Update: With courage and tenacity, over 412,000 #HKers have already cast their ballots, for the first 7 hours today. This is the silent protest of all freedom-loving citizens in #Hongkong to say no to the sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

2. One day more for our last free election, our new target will be 500,000, which amounts to 30% of votes in pro-democracy camp and 10% of the total registered voter in #Hongkong.

5. As the primary is the litmus test to #NationalSecurityLaw that rattles both the city's civil society and foreigners, we hope the world will continue to put #Hongkong under the global spotlight.

Less than a week after #NationalSecurityLaw has been put in place, #Hongkong's public libraries started to put books under review and suspend them from lending, including two of mine published in 2013 and 2015.

When stickers citing Bibles were accused of breaching #NationalSecurityLaw, Deputy director of #China's office on #Hongkong HKMAO just said the new law is not one-off. #Beijing will introduce more China's laws to #HK in the future.

Arrested at July 1 protest, this 23yo first motorcyclist/ first-aider with a #LiberateHongKong flag became the first person in #Hongkong charged for “inciting sedition and terrorism” under #nationalsecuritylaw. He will appear in West Kowloon Court today.

5. With draconian punishments, the law is Sword of Damocles hanging over civil society & business communities in the city. As #Hongkong is on the brink of collapse, I call upon the world to take stronger actions to urge China to withdraw the law.

We have the responsibility to safeguard Hong Kong's freedom in its darkest times. Time for us to stand up as a Hongkonger again.
Thank you for all your support.

[This year might be the last year of annual #TiananmenVigil in #Hongkong]
1. 31 years ago, Beijing crushed dissents with tanks and guns. 31 years later, Beijing is ripping out our democratic aspiration with a tyrannical law.

2. At the time when #Beijing is unilaterally imposing the draconian #NationalSecurityLaw upon #Hongkong, this year might be the last year that Hongkongers can talk about #TiananmenSquareMassacre publicly.

@joshuawongcf
On #Tiananmen2020, and especially when #HK is in the growing shadow of #NationalSecurityLaw, #Hongkong's stock market today has its unique way to remember #8964 #TiananmenSquareMassacre.

2/ Although the law is highly contentious in #Hongkong, and widespread backlash broke out when #HKgov introduced the law in 2003, Beijing this time deliberately chooses to ram through this unpopular law by completely ignoring the will of #Hongkongers.

Before #Beijing is getting ready to impose the most controversial national security law upon #HongKong tonight. I unusually failed to post anything on my Facebook Page. #Article23 #nationalsecuritylaw #Hongkong

3/ Clearly, #China plans another bloody crackdown upon pro-democracy #hongkongprotests. Not to mention that #China is imposing a new sinofication on the city and turning #Hongkong into another Mainland city.

In a failed state like #Hongkong, #Carrielam only knows how to suppress, but not govern. What #HKers should do is not merely #FreeHongKong, but also save Hong Kong.
