4. Just like the situation in #China, religious groups in #HK are now in the #CCP’s crosshairs under #nationalsecuritylaw. The world should avoid over-optimism about the new law and should be cautious of its actual impacts.

2. But what concerns him most is the situation of other #HKprotestors, from the recent arrest of #GrandmaWong to the 30yo protestor, who was charged for violating #nationalsecuritylaw after singing protest song #GloryToHongKong. Joshua also calls for attention to #save12hkyouths.

30 years after #TienanmenSquareMassacre, #Beijing’s state-owned paper now framed annual candlelight vigil's organizer, #HKAlliance, as a “subversive body” that is alleged to peril national security & collude w/ foreign forces, & urged #HKgov to suppress it w/ #nationalsecuritylaw

1. While #China imposed a new law that can expel elected lawmakers directly, HK regulators attempted to comfort foreign investors in this int'l city by claiming "financial institutions can implement US sanctions" w/o fear of violating #nationalsecuritylaw

Today is the 1st anniversary of #hkprotester #AlexChow’s death. While #Hongkongers commemorated him with flowers and candles, #hkpolice rushed to disperse mourners citing #nationalsecuritylaw.
Lest we forget.

[First #hkprotesters, then teachers & lawmakers, now reporters, who's next?]
1 4months under #nationalsecuritylaw, #hkpolice just arrested a reporter #ChoyYukLing for using car records to identify assailants of #YuenLongMobAttack on #HKers in documentary

1. Four months after #nationalsecuritylaw has become effective, #hkpolice plans to launch a new national security hotline to gather intelligence from the public via SMS, #WeChat and #Line.

#Breaking: Charged under #nationalsecuritylaw, 19yo teen activist #TonyChung was reportedly arrested at a coffee shop by 4 national security agents this morning before his bid to seek asylum at #US Consulate General.

[Birthday amid turmoils]
1. Today is my 24th birthday, but it has already been celebrated ahead of time in June, days before the enactment of the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw.

It may be the end of HK when #nationalsecuritylaw was passed, but there's no reason for us to give up. Even if HK isn't HK anymore, but with the spirit of HKers, I think on the Chinese National Day, it's still a remarkable day that the world knows that we keep on the fight.

Talked to @CBNNews about how #HK #Catholic textbooks are now used for #Beijing’s nationalist propaganda under #nationalsecuritylaw, while #China’s office in HK has just waged a new "struggle against the three mountains” - the city's legal, education and social service sectors. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

4. Worse still, under #nationalsecuritylaw and tightening political red line, it is the first time that #Beijing regards the city’s judiciary independence is a challenge to its authority, which sends an alarming signal to the world.
13
@joshuawongcf
4. Clearly legal, education & social service sectors become new targets under #nationalsecuritylaw. #Beijing seeks to put the city's professionals under control & make them serve only its political interests. Political red lines become the new doctrine over professional standards

@joshuawongcf
5. Under #nationalsecuritylaw and #Beijing's #wolfwarriordiplomacy, it's worrrying that similar intimidation will happen in #HK, esp when #Chinese data companies were found actively spying the world’s influential individuals and constructing database on behalf of #CCP government.

[First judge resigns amid #nationalsecuritylaw]
1. Appalled to hear that our prominent #Australian judge James Spigelman resigned from #HK appeals court over #NSL, days after #Beijing claims there is no separation of powers in HK

5. With such systematic oppressions of HK freedom seekers, especially under #nationalsecuritylaw amid #Beijing’s mounting influence, it is foreseeable that more and more people will lose trust in the city’s judicial impartiality which this international financial centre lies on.
17
@joshuawongcf
2. It is worrying, under #nationalsecuritylaw, foreign passport holders are deprived of basic rights of access to family-appointed lawyers, which is claimingly promised in #China’s law, esp when 4 lawyers were forced to quit the case due to unusual pressure from #CCP authorities.
18
@joshuawongcf
2. It is the first time that sacred texts are largely replaced by Chinese nationalistic education in religious textbooks. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even the controversial sinicized Christianity in #China started to expand to #HK with HK diocese kowtowing to #Beijing.

@joshuawongcf
Under #nationalsecuritylaw & #China’s #WolfWarriorDiplomacy, it's just a matter of time for foreign firms to consider withdrawing from #Hongkong, esp when even Australian reporters can suddenly fall victim to #Beijing’s #hostagediplomacy threat overnight. japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/09/0…

4. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, now even slogans #5DemandsNot1Less” and “resist” can be cherrypicked as evidence for #speechcrime, let alone pro-democracy activists being tailed by unknown agents for months, and #police starting to rewrite history to justify further crackdowns.
21
@joshuawongcf
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
22
@joshuawongcf
2. In fact, under #nationalsecuritylaw, the similar threat of #HostageDiplomacy can also happen to foreign investors, travellers and ex-pats in #HJK, just like the two Canadians #MichaelKovrig and #MichaelSpavor that have been detained for over 620 days without trials.

While buying paint for homework, a 12yo girl was brutally smashed to ground by #hkpolice, after she was terrified and tried to run away. In #policestate under #nationalsecuritylaw, you will face #policebrutality even though you are just going shopping.

#HKpolice dragged a #HKer on the ground for 10m+, just because he urged resuming #Legco2020 Election & releasing the 12 #Asylumseekers now detained in #China w/o access to lawyers. Now all slight expression of demand faces #policebrutality under #nationalsecuritylaw. #policestate

@joshuawongcf
5. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, no one would know if you will be tailed by security agents next time. But despite all forces and fear, #HKers will continue our fight for justice, as our spirit of resistance will never die. #savehk12youths #savehk12youth
