#Day27 [Right of visiting 12 detainees declined]
1/ While #CCP may claim that the group is not under consular protection, the right of visiting 12 detainees by consulate is an absolutely legitimate & reasonable demand, especially for a🇵🇹 #Portugese national & 2 #UK #BNO holders.

1/ Even though the imprisonment meant a lot to me, I didn't shed tears or have any strong sense of fear when the judge announced my sentence. I viewed my imprisonment as the necessary step for the whole society to embrace the cruel fact that the city’s freedom is on shaky ground.

Beijing continues to blame HKers for the political instability and economic damage but China’s unrelenting assault on Hong Kong’s freedom and legal autonomy guarantees that the resistance will continue. japantimes.co.jp/news/2020/05/1…

1/ The Hong Kong protest movement won the elections battle – but the war over our five demands is still ongoing
As encouraging as the victory was, we have a long way to go before we can turn our attention away from the central cause.

4. We opposed the extradition bill, and you rammed the National Security Law down our throats.
5. We stood for election, and you disqualified us.
6. We went abroad to speak the truth, and so you issued warrants for our arrest.

[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.

1. #HKgov now demands #US to drop the new label ban and stresses its products are not made in China. One local exporter told @appledaily_hk, slamming HKgov for being hypocritical since it previously arrested now-disbanded Demosisto members for selling “not-made-in-China” masks.

//Phrases such as “No blue ribbons” or “No yellow ribbons” are common on profiles. It is not uncommon to see protest slogans such as: “Add oil, Hongkongers.” Some even post photos of themselves at protests.//

2. Recently #hkpolice just started to rewrite the history of #PoliceBrutality, turning lies into truths. From tomorrow on, #HKgov will impose a citywide DNA collection, which is considered as a prelude to more sophisticated surveillance regime in #Hongkong.

2. Inside the police station, lawyers were barred from meeting detainees, while plainclothes police unlawfully assaulted and choked them. One of them Mike blacked out after suffering rounds of #policebrutality.

2/ It's fiercely imposed by Beijing upon the will of #HKers, without legislative scrutiny. Even tens of thousands of #HKers showed their outcry against draconian law, #hkpolice crushed dissents with armed vehicles, water cannons, teargas & pepper balls but #YouCantStopUs!

Joshua Wong and several other pro-democracy politicians claimed that they have recently been followed by suspicious figures believed to be China’s security agents, ahead of the enactment of new national security law imposed by Beijing.

1. Upon release, I'd like to take opportunity to call attention to other unreasonable arrests. A phone repair shop owner was arrested in Sep for possessing clients' phones #NationalSecurityBureau claim suspicious.

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

Threats and intimidation from the authorities have become the daily life of activists like @KwongGlacier - with whom I visited Berlin last year. As nasty as mafia it sounded, but it isn’t ‘civil servants’ in disguise to decide what can be spoken of and what cannot. twitter.com/chungchingkwon…
