#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

[End of Hong Kong, Beginning of Reign of Terror]
1. #Beijing has just passed the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw. It marks the end of Hong Kong that the world knew before.

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.

Before #Beijing is getting ready to impose the most controversial national security law upon #HongKong tonight. I unusually failed to post anything on my Facebook Page. #Article23 #nationalsecuritylaw #Hongkong

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!

[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.

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.

In the meantime, lots of freedom-loving French fellow people staged a demonstration in Paris to #StandWithHongKong and oppose #nationalsecuritylaw.

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.

#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.

[First day of national security law: #HKers will not surrender]
1/ When #Beijing has defied social oppositions and enacted the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw in #HK, The UK government has offered an important lifeboat by opening path to citizenship for #HKers.
12
[In response to #US's latest decision on #HK]
1. Clearly, the US’s decision is a reaction to #Beijing’s series of reckless crackdowns in #HongKong, from unilaterally imposing a sweeping #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.

[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.
15
[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.
16
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.
17
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
18
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.

[#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
20
2. It reportedly includes Andy Li, who was previously arrested under #nationalsecuritylaw, on the same day when pro-democracy media mogul #Jimmylai was arrested.
21
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.
22
2. The excuse they use is that I describe #nationalsecuritylaw as a draconian law, which shows that I do not support this sweeping law.
23
[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
4. With a more stringent #nationalsecuritylaw in #China, as well as other draconian criminal laws #HK doesn’t have, it is worrying that they could be sent to #China’s secret courts & black prisons, with restricted access to lawyers & high risk of forced confession under torture.
25
3. Since it could be the first case that #HKers are put on trial in China’s secret court under #nationalsecuritylaw, we hope the world can keep watch on the situation and wish they can all come back safe. #save12hkyouths #save12hkyouth #save12
