1/ In the new year, #Beijing and #HKgov choose not to answer #Hongkongers’ demands. Instead, they plan to escalate #policebrutality against HKers by arming #hkpolice with new electroshock weapons like stun guns and net guns. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
77
When #hkpolice attempts to rewrite the history to justify its #PoliceBrutality in #Hongkong under #nationalsecuritylaw, we should insist on telling the truth. Congratulations! twitter.com/sopasia/status…

9/ 8936 #HKers were put under arrest by #hkpolice during #HKProtest since 2019 with 1808 of them prosecuted. For those charged with rioting, the figure is 612. Just a coincidence, 6.12 was was the day when half million HKers took to streets to oppose the evil extradition in 2019.
79
2/ More ridiculously, when 2 million #HKers, one-fourth of city population demonstrated for democracy, #hkpolice called them “mobs.” When over 80% of citizens criticized police for escalating forces in a poll, #HKPolice called them as "extorted their demands from the government.”

2. Even more creepily, #hkpolice counted exact number of each slogan that Tam chanted from Jan to Aug. It implies #hkpolice is now undergoing persistent surveillance on the city’s activists, cherrypicking evidence for speech crimes under #nationalsecuritylaw. #secretpolicestate

5. Not to mention that dissidents in exile, #Hongkongers or even #Taiwanese overseas might be covered by the secret deal & extradited to #China’s courts. In fact, #hkpolice has already used the new law to arrest dissidents in exile and also a US citizen. edition.cnn.com/2020/08/01/chi…
83
2. Despite only 4 of us, #hkpolice abused the 4-people gathering ban to disband our booth. We were surrounded by over 50 #police. Once again, #coronavirus measures were used to suppress political dissents in #HKpolicestate.
84
5/ When such Orwellian doublespeak by #hkpolice becomes ubiquitous, #Hongkong is further turned into another city in #China. With police violence prevailing, #Hongkong is now trimming to 1 country 1.5 systems.
85
2/ From the evidence submitted by #hkpolice, police's digital forensic branch used Israel-based firm Cellebrite's UFED Physical Analyzer and Swedish MSAB XRY to hack my #iPhoneXR, both my passcode and all my personal photos.
86
2/ Yan (medics) said #hkpolice pointed guns at him & smashed him with batons when he was providing the first-aid service during #PolyUSiege. Inspector tried to plant evidence by putting a gas bomb into his bag. Luckily his bag was full at that time so #police’s move was in vain.
87
3. Although #hkpolice claimed they would investigate the case, Singh has not given any copy of statement for more than 4 days since August 18, nor any case number. Worse still, #police prohibited Singh’s friends from taking pictures of his wounds for no reason.
88
2. The attack took place near the main entrance of the consulate today. The assailant approached the victim from behind & punched twice in his head, right at the moment when the victim left the consulate. The consulate is located in an area regularly patrolled by #hkpolice.
89
2/ Solely in #Hongkong, throughout #hkprotests last year, #hkpolice has been using Cellebrite's hacking technology to crack at least 4000 #Hkprotesters’ phones without consent, with our private conversation used by authoritarian regimes for political purges.
90
2/ It is reported that #hkpolice just adopted a new tactic to surround & arbitrarily arrest HKers, instead of dispersing them. Over 1 m ppl were unreasonably forced to leave in merely 30 mins. 400 #hkers were arbitrarily arrested even though they were just innocent bystanders.
91
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.
92
6/ Meanwhile, #hkpolice has issued arrest warrants for 6 activists under #nationalsecuritylaw, including one American citizen, Samuel Chu, who just exercises his rights to free speech OVERSEAS and urges his own govt to pass legislation, but now falls prey to this sweeping law.
93
2. According to telegram bot developed by #Hkprotesters that crowdsources information about unknown cars owned by #hkpolice or unknown Chinese holders, the cars’ numbers are all classified as “dangerous cars”.
94
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.
95
2. As #China fears #HKers’ daring to speak and think freely, #hkpolice raided the office of PORI tonight, co-organizer of primary election. Before that, PORI was subject to waves of hacking and attacks by pro-Beijing media. All these are meant to create fear to scare people off.

8/ Your personal information can also be sent to #China, since the new body will share information (with ill-defined scopes) with #hkpolice. Without checks and balances, #Beijing requires #hkpolice and courts “cooperate with new China’s office”.
