[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…

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

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.

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 ft.com/content/0ba08d…

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…

[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.

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.
34
2. Clearly #Beijing and #hkpolice attempt to create fear today when #Hongkongers staged protests urging gov to resume the #LegCo2020 election, opposing DNA collection and #nationalsecuritylaw and releasing 12 #hkers detained in #China.
35
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…

[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 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 abc.net.au/news/2020-09-1…
38
4. More than just turning lies into truths with disinformation, today’s incident sends a worrying signal to how #HKgov will enforce #nationalsecuritylaw in the city, where even basic facts can be rewritten to suit the official narrative and justify future repression.

BREAKING: Lai Chee Ying, Jimmy, founder of Next Digital and popular newspaper Apple Daily, was just arrested for collusion with foreign forces under the new National Security Law. His son and other five people were just arrested. #nationalsecuritylaw #hongkong

[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.
41
[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 hongkongfp.com/2020/11/03/bre…

43
[New clampdown on #HK press freedom] 1. While Beijing claims #nationalsecuritylaw won't affect #PressFreedom in #Hongkong, #HK Immigration Dept just denied w/o reason the work visa for a @HongKongFP reporter, who has been closely following #hkprotests hongkongfp.com/2020/08/27/vis…

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
45
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
46
[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
47
3. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, it is dubious if our privacy and safety are still under protection when more evidence suggests #HK comes closer to a #secretpolicestate where citizens and foreigners can be maliciously followed by unknown agents.
48
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.
49
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.
50
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
