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.

1/ Soon after #Beijing issued arrest warrants for the first non-Chinese national under its sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, @SenatorMenendez and @RepEliotEngel condemned #China’s move in their statement, "today we are all Hong Kongers.”

3. Worse still, even the city’s head in charge of controlling #covid19 never heard of the plan. As a result, it casts more doubts on whether #China is imposing genetic surveillance in #HK while #hkpolice recently took DNA swabs of #hkprotesters under sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw

@joshuawongcf
[The city's largest-ever DNA collection by #China]
1. Starting from today, #Beijing will send medical personnel from China to #HK for mass testing. Just like #nationalsecuritylaw legislation, the decision is unilaterally imposed without public consultation.

@joshuawongcf
2. The excuse they use is that I describe #nationalsecuritylaw as a draconian law, which shows that I do not support this sweeping law.

While ppl worldwide living under growing authoritarian influence, I just wrote my first @LetterWiki letter to @DJtotheS w/ thoughts on how HKers respond w/ hope through persistent resistance while #China rules the city with fear under #nationalsecuritylaw

[Witch hunting under #nationalsecuritylaw]
1. I just wrote back to electoral officers this morning. Clearly, a large-scale witch hunt is underway & electoral officers are cooking up #nationalsecurity charges against all pro-democracy runners, not solely vetting our candidacy. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
58
@joshuawongcf
3. Clearly, under the new #nationalsecuritylaw, political screening covers candidates’ social media accounts, media interviews and election flyers. Even an op-ed piece could be framed as “colluding with foreign forces” and used as excuses for political purges.

@joshuawongcf
[#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

@joshuawongcf
[Seeking justice amid stalking by unknown agents]
1. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, the world may be wondering how it affects the daily life of ordinary #Hongkongers, especially #Hongkongprotestors. Chinese-style surveillance and stalking is one thing.
61
@joshuawongcf
It’s my pleasure to speak with @jonsnowC4. Indeed, under #nationalsecuritylaw, continuing to fight for freedoms in #Hongkong is always risking our life by #Beijing, but that is the duty of our generation to carry on the cause. twitter.com/jonsnowC4/stat…

[Under #nationalsecuritylaw, I was tailed by 4 unknown cars in 30 min today]
1. After #NSL became effective, stalking that targets me has intensified. Solely today I was tailed by at least 4 unknown cars/motorbikes in 30min drive. Even my Uber driver could tell we were stalked

@joshuawongcf
[Financial censorship amid unfree speech]
1. More than just crackdowns on dissidents, #nationalsecuritylaw has repercussions on this global financial city, as global banks now screen clients’ accounts, public speeches, interviews and online posts. reut.rs/2OCACAf

[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
65
@joshuawongcf
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.
66
@joshuawongcf
3. With 500,000 HKers casting their ballots amid #Beijing’s threats and sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, our determination would send a strong message to the world: #Hongkongers will not surrender. No matter how repressive the regime goes against us, we will not bow to tyranny.
67
In the meantime, lots of freedom-loving French fellow people staged a demonstration in Paris to #StandWithHongKong and oppose #nationalsecuritylaw.
68
@joshuawongcf
Pro-democracy primaries start today! This might be the first and last time that my name can appear on ballots under #nationalsecuritylaw. Despite #Beijing’s mounting threat, #HKers will show our determination for liberty today and let our voices be heard: We will not surrender!
69
@joshuawongcf
3. Therefore, at the time when holding blank papers was accused of breaching #nationalsecuritylaw, the legislative council election in September has high risks of cancellation. Hence, tomorrow’s primary may be the last chance for #Hongkongers to cast our vote, free from fear.

@joshuawongcf
[Primary Election Tomorrow: Our vote is our voice to the world]
1. In next two days, primary election for pro-democracy camps will be held. First time after enactment of #nationalsecuritylaw, #HKers can show our determination for democracy & liberty w/ our votes in this election
71
@joshuawongcf
JUST IN: One day before pro-democracy primary election, #HKPolice just raided the office of #HK’s survey body (Public Opinion Research Institute), accused it of dishonest use of computer and took away all computers, days after the enactment of #nationalsecuritylaw.

@joshuawongcf
[In response to Australia's new policies on #HK]
1. When #China is imposing the new sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw on the city, Australia’s new visa policy serves as a vital safe haven for freedom-loving #HongKongers amid political persecution under China’s new Orwellian law.
73
@joshuawongcf
When #nationalsecuritylaw covers #Hkers & foreigners, #CarrieLam just granted more powers to police to:
1.Enter premises w/o warrant
2.Restrict movt
3.Freeze or forfeit assets
4.Intercept communication
5.Request ISP/platform to remove allegedly national security-threatening info

@joshuawongcf
Arrested at July 1 protest, this 23yo first motorcyclist/ first-aider with a #LiberateHongKong flag became the first person in #Hongkong charged for “inciting sedition and terrorism” under #nationalsecuritylaw. He will appear in West Kowloon Court today.

Gov declares “liberate #hongkong, the revolution of our times” is illegal under the new #nationalsecuritylaw
