5/ Today’s rally is the prelude to a larger scale of protest before the announcement of evil law. It's time for HKers to fight back & safeguard HK. I call upon the world to #StandwithHK & oppose #nationalsecuritylaw which poses a threat to all ex-pats & travellers in global city.

[EU should take actions before China scraps its promise]
1/ By unilaterally imposing an ill-defined #nationalsecuritylaw and a #secret-police agency, China is clearly scraping its promise of Joint Declaration and rewriting rules.
4
2/ In fact, #nationalsecuritylaw will affect all netizens since #China has a long history of regarding critical voices on social media as a threat to its national security. It has imposed the most restrictive cybersecurity rules & clamped down on the flow of information in China.

1/ #Hongkongers welcome @BorisJohnson’s visa offer to 3 million #HongKong citizens, at the time when #Beijing government completely ignores the will of #HKers and unilaterally imposes the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw over the city.
6
1/ Ignoring domestic and global concerns, Beijing announced the drafted #nationalsecuritylaw that casts even more doubts. The law erodes #HK’s common law jurisdictions as local courts are NOT allowed to interpret the law once disputes arise.

[Response to US's visa ban on CCP officials]
1. When #Beijing insists on ramming through an unpopular & sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw that imperils HK’s autonomy, @SecPompeo just announced visa bans on #CCP officials responsible for undermining #HK’s autonomy and human rights.

[First day of national security law: #HKers will not surrender]

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

[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.

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.

[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
16
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.
17
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!
18
In the meantime, lots of freedom-loving French fellow people staged a demonstration in Paris to #StandWithHongKong and oppose #nationalsecuritylaw.
19
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.
20
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.
21
[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

[Financial censorship amid unfree speech]

[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
24
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…

[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.
