A quick recap of what really happened at July 21 Yuen Long attack... and guess who got arrested? - those who got attacked...

1/ My case will be mentioned Eastern Magistrates Court on tomorrow 2:30pm, the day before China’s decision to approve the arrest of the 12 young activists and its national day.

[#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

“The global failure to respond to China’s aggressive rights abuses from Xinjiang to HK has only emboldened Beijing......Foreign Gov catalyzed by this grave threat to freedoms in HK should act swiftly to press Beijing over its human rights violations.” hrw.org/news/2020/06/0…

Two weeks on with no further updates about their situations, it seems they've been thrown into a black hole of indefinite detention...

1/ 어느덧 홍콩 민주화 시위가 열린 지 1년 가까이 되어가고 있습니다. 그동안 세계 각지의 민주 시민들이, 특히 한국 국민들께서 홍콩 문제에 대해 기울여주신 사랑과 관심, 지지와 연대를 통해 우리는 혁명의 자그마한 불씨를 간직하며, 차분히 키워나갈 수 있었습니다.

With everything going on right now, this statement from the Chinese Liaison Office probably isn't the most important, but it reveals Beijing's mindset. It calls the HK protesters' "yellow economy" (i.e. buying only from pro-democracy stores) a violation of free-market principles.

That is my honour to be invited by the @UniofOxford to give a speech.
1/ However, even with such a formal invitation, I am still barred from travelling abroad by the court and Department of Justice to share our thoughts on Hong Kong and call for more global support.

That is shocking news to #HKer to hear that our dearest friend James Gordon - Lord Gordon of Strathblane - just passed away due to #coronavirus. As one of the members of All-Party Parliamentary Groups on HK, he has been supporting democracy and defending human rights in #HK.

6/ Climate Change and the fight for democracy in HK share some similarities. Both of them cannot be resolved simply by the handwork of one place, and China has to be held responsible for both issues, and China’s response to them appears to be similar as well.

We urge @Disney to take down this controversial movie from its platform & clarify its stance on the issues regarding Xinjiang.

Thank you for your support. Unfortunately the court has also banned me from traveling to the US despite several invitations for me to speak at American universities. I look forward to meeting you in Washington when I regain my freedom of movement once again. twitter.com/MarshaBlackbur…

Hong Kongers in the community have managed to do what Carrie Lam cannot do. As Hong Kongers, we must take matters into our own hands as a community, and not rely on the Hong Kong government to save us. twitter.com/cusonlo/status…

1. More #hongkongers are tailed by unknown agents in recent days. Today pro-democracy lawmaker @tedhuichifung said he has been followed by unknown cars for a few days, with cameras and video recorders inside.

7/ Greenhouse gas emissions by China are the largest in the world. It is found by scientific research that global warming cannot be kept below 2 °C unless the emission of greenhouse gas in China falls sharply.

1/ To safeguard the city’s human rights and liberty, Hongkongers hope the new US administration can continue standing with HK and safeguarding our democratic values because supporting HK against suppressions is not a matter of left or right, but a matter of right or wrong.
