1/ Despite foreign doubts and #Hongkongers’ criticism, #NPC just passed #nationalsecuritylegislation. # China unilaterally imposes the law with its legislation entirely under a black box, with no legislative scrutiny and public consultation.

1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.

3. Even before this evil law is implemented, #HKgov has already tightened its grip by banning this years’ candlelight vigil for the first time in 30 years. To block #Hongkongers from joining the vigil, the venue was locked down w/ barricades, with thousands of #hkpolice deployed.

In Mongkok, #HKPolice is arresting #Hongkongers for commemorating the 31st anniv. of #TiananmenSquareMassacre.
This is the 1st yr that 🇨🇳#CCP & #HKGov banned #TiananmenVigil in #HongKong. HKers still go out en masse tonight, holding memorials at many locations across the city.

Today is the 1st anniversary of the June 9th #HKProtest, when 1.03 million #Hongkongers took it to the streets to oppose the #ExtraditionBill to China. 1 in 7 #Hongkongers took part, a record-breaking number.
This day is oft considered the start of the #HKProtests.

The clock is ticking for the city’s liberty. #Hongkongers hope the world can stand with us once again to call for the withdrawal of this sweeping security law. twitter.com/demosisto/stat…

6/15, the anniversary of Mr. Leung's death.
On 2019/6/15, he jumped off a building to protest the #ExtraditionBill, which would let 🇨🇳#CCP to legally kidnap anyone in #HongKong.
The next day, 6/16, 2 million #Hongkongers marched in his memory.
A year later, we dare not forget.
34
#Hongkongers come together to remember #LeungLingKit, who jumped off a building on 2019-06-15 to protest the #ExtraditionBill, the first death of the #HKProtests.
We fight on because we remember. #5DemandsNot1Less

Today 6/29 marks 1 yr of the death of Lo Hiu-yan, a 21 year old university student who jumped from the 24th floor, leaving behind a message in red in the hallway:
"Dear #Hongkongers,
Even though the struggle drags on, we must never forget the ideals we hold, we must persist. ->

4. However, even under the ill wind of #China’s direct authoritarian rule, #Hongkongers will continue to fight for our freedoms and democracy for the city’s next generations. When justice fails, our fight goes on.

#Hongkongers starting to gather on the streets, in defiance of the #NationalSecurityLaw & heavy #HKPolice presence.
We fear, but we can't afford to let fear overcome us. We will continue marching on till the day we see the dawn, for freedom is not free.

#hkpolice said these two stickers violate #NationalSecurityLaw, with #Hongkongers arrested: one with word "Conscience" and another one citing "But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). No effect on civil liberties? No speech crime?

3. Therefore, at the time when holding blank papers was accused of breaching #nationalsecuritylaw, the legislative council election in September has high risks of cancellation. Hence, tomorrow’s primary may be the last chance for #Hongkongers to cast our vote, free from fear.

Despite #HKgovt's crackdown on pro-democracy primaries, long queues could be found at polling stations in various districts, less than 30 minutes after opening. When #Beijing attempts to rule the city with fear, #Hongkongers will not surrender to tyranny and fear. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

When #hkgov sent warning letters to all district councillors and barred them from using their offices as polling stations...
#Hongkongers use buses as polling stations instead. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
42
@joshuawongcf
#Hongkongers flocked to polling stations today, with nearly 34,000 voters that have already cast their votes solely in the first 2 hours, even when #hkgov accused pro-democracy primaries of breaching the #NationalSecurityLaw. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

3. With 500,000 HKers casting their ballots amid #Beijing’s threats and sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, our determination would send a strong message to the world: #Hongkongers will not surrender. No matter how repressive the regime goes against us, we will not bow to tyranny.

2. Since the high primary turnout demonstrates #Hongkongers’ determination for democracy and captures the world’s attention, Joshua Wong urged #China to think twice and holds itself from further imperiling the city’s autonomy and democracy with the new sweeping #NSL.

[Support our Thai fellows in their fight for democracy]
1. #Hongkongers will never forget how our Thai fellows stood with us against #China’s nationalist trolls during #nnevvy saga and spoke up for us amid #Beijing’s authoritarian suppression in #HK. #MilkTeaAlliance

5. However, fear will not scare me and all freedom-loving #Hongkongers off. We will continue our fight and let our next generations live in freedoms without fear.

7/21 marks the anniversary of the #721YuenLongAttack perpetrated by 🇨🇳#CCP aligned gangs. #Hongkongers were indiscriminately bloodily attacked in the train station.
#HKPolice did not respond to emergency calls until hours later, chatting casually with the gangs when they arrived

[Seeking justice amid stalking by unknown agents]
1. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, the world may be wondering how it affects the daily life of ordinary #Hongkongers, especially #Hongkongprotestors. Chinese-style surveillance and stalking is one thing.

[Kneeling down for meals in an international city]
1. Today is the first day that #HKgov bans all dine-in services at restaurants. #Hongkongers are forced to finish their meals outdoors.

3. Despite 610,000+ #Hongkongers voting in #HK’s primary, #Beijing now staged the biggest-ever crackdowns on the city’s election, by disqualifying nearly all pro-democracy runners, from young progressive groups to traditional moderate parties.
