1. After a year, Kin, 19yo teen shot by #hkpolice w/ live bullet on #CCP's National Day last year, will appear in court on Oct 8, w/ fears that his bail may be denied. Earlier, his legal aid application's denied as #hkgov ruled w/o trial #HKpolice’s use of force ‘was reasonable’.

Right after #hkpolice pepper sprayed & tear gassed peaceful #hkers attending thearch, they forcefully ordered the rally to be cancelled. #HKPolice and the #hkgov are scared to see more than 1M #hkers fighting in the new year, an unending fight for justice & democracy.
#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…

8/ When #hkgov stresses that the handling of DNA data would comply with the law, the reality turns out - it is still legal if they send the data to #Beijing. After all, given the blackbox procurement and legal loopholes, #Beijing’s real agenda is building a DNA database in #HK.
2. With arrestees from 11yo kid to 84yo elderly, #hkpolice is now staging the biggest political purge across generations in the city, especially at the time when #hkgov attempting to rewrite history, whitewash #policebrutality and censor textbooks.

10/ ...They are probably beyond the capacity of #hkgov and put under #CCP’s direct jurisdiction. Under wolf warrior diplomacy, the result is entirely foreseeable. Don’t forget, once Beijing intervenes, offenders can be sent to Mainland China for trials and prisons.
