It's 81 days since #Andyismissing.
A lot has happened in #HK since he fell into #CCP's hands. More has been arrested under #NSL. Press freedom further trampled. The LegCo has gone defunct.
But we cannot forget about #save12HKyouths, for their only hope is your attention. t.co/JGrFJ4RTPX

Another victim of #NSL imposed by Beijing.
The world needs to wake up & recognize that HK is ruled by an authoritarian regime. Freedom-fighters fear for personal safety & loss of freedom once targeted by the state. #12HKyouths were not alone in seeking asylum in the caged city. twitter.com/SBSNews/status…
