[#Beijing is paving ways to disqualify pro-democracy candidates]
1. Despite 610,000+ #HKers voting in first-ever #hkprimaries, pro-democracy candidates started receiving letters from #HKgov questioning their political stances, including whether they support #nationalsecuritylaw

2. When #China attempts to crush dissents with fear and force, nearly 600,000 #Hkers have used our actions today to ward off fear, cast ballots in this first and maybe last #hkprimaries and proved to the world that - Our spirit of resistance will not be killed.

[Joint Statement by primary winners on #nationalsecuritylaw]
1. As #Beijing plans to set endorsing security law as prerequisite for running in LegCo election in Sep, 16 #hkprimaries winners read out a joint statement today, urging all parties to stand firm to oppose sweeping law

3. Even after the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw comes into force, HKers have shown our determination for democracy, by protesting with blank white papers and casting ballots in #hkprimaries, in order to let our voices be heard by the world.

4. Clearly it is the largest election fraud in #HK’s history. But #Beijing cannot overturn the strong mandate of 610,000 #Hongkongers who had cast their ballots the city's first-ever #hkprimaries early this month.

4. When having “conscience” stickers, holding blank placards & voting in #hkprimaries are framed as inciting subversion, a large-scale crackdown on pro-democracy protesters' finances is on the way, this time including ex-pats & international institutions that the new law covers.
