[First anniversary of #831 #PrinceEdward attack] 1. In the past year, everything worsens in #HK, with a draconian #NationalSecurityLaw imposed, textbooks censored, #hkprotesters forced into exile, and the fate of 12 asylum seekers now left unknown during detention in #China.
Breaking: A @demosisto's campaigner was just arrested when he set up booths with high schoolers & teenagers to call for the withdrawal of #NationalSecurityLaw. Clearly, the law is killing all voices of dissidence and putting our next generations under #China’s full control.
#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?

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.
Under loosely defined terms, #Hkers were warned of breaching #NationalSecurityLaw for displaying just white papers, without any slogan. Now #hkpolice is suggesting #China's national security will be threatened because of pieces of white papers.
Tam Yiu-chung, #HK's sole delegate to #Beijing's top legislature NPCSC, said media coverage on #hkpolicebrutality can be charged for "inciting subversion of state power" under #NationalSecurityLaw. Now the red line has been once again tightened. What's next?
