2. Four years ago, I went to Bangkok for speaking events at Chulalongkorn University and Thammasat University. But the Thai government blacklisted me at Beijing's request and detained me from Suvarnabhumi Airport for over 12 hours. hongkongfp.com/2016/10/06/jos…

Human rights activists urge Israel to stop spy tool exports to Hong Kong police.
Petitioners say Israel's Cellebrite phone-cracking product is a 'dual-use' technology attacking pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong.

[World Health Organization is one of the culprits in this global pandemic.]
1/ Under @DrTedros, WHO missed the best opportunity to stop the Coronavirus. When the coronavirus first broke out in Wuhan, WHO simply adopted one-sided account given by the Chinese Communist Party.

When #China fails to silence #HK's dissents with fear, it appeals to force. Pro-#Beijing thugs disturbed one of our booths this evening when we urged more #HKers to vote. Also, helpers of other democratic parties were reportedly assaulted by Beijing supporters. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

1/ Hanging a Sword of Damocles over civil society, the law criminalizes all international advocacy, criticisms on the Beijing and Hong Kong governments, and all oppositions to controversial legislations in the future.

Same goes for Donnie Yen, another outspoken admirer of the Hong Kong police. I, too, urge everyone who believes in racial justice to #BoycottMulan. twitter.com/HongKongHermit…

4/ Such warrantless search is also a blunt violation of the freedom & privacy of communication enshrined in Basic Law. I doubt whether such a search is lawful. Now it seems state-backed hackers get involved in the crackdown on HK movement. I urge to strengthen your cybersecurity.

[How do you envisage the legislative elections in Sep?]
1/ A worse scenario will be like: Beijing will dissolve the existing LegCo & disqualify all 70 lawmakers once pro-democracy camps win the majority. One of the references is recent statement by China’s office on HK Affairs.

Hey Wumao trolls: Don't forget to toe the government's line! Your latest correct position is…… to join us and #BoycottMulan 😂😂
Quick recap of why:
• It was filmed in XJ
• Liu Yifei backs the HK police
• Donnie Yen wears a blackface
• US$30 for a bad remake

1/ More than just punitive measures, the national security law also imposes a mainland-style censorship regime upon this international financial city. Although my books are published years before Hong Kong's anti-extradition movement, they are now prone to book censorship. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
