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.

#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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
