10/ Italian foreign minister Luigi Di Maio has criticised china which is insightful. I hope the Italian foreign minister can support our democratic aspirations in Hong Kong, as democracy is the only way to de-escalate the situation and maintain prosperity and stability in HK.

3. It's the first time that consulate staffs fall victim to physical attack in this international city where personal safety is claimed to be protected by the law.

7/ We hope the new administration understands the situation has changed dramatically in recent years, and it is impossible to turn back the clock. America should take the lead on protecting values that all democracies cherish.

2/ “I would say that Hong Kong was not Hong Kong any more after 11pm on June 30,” he said, referring to the time when the national security law was imposed.

4/ Tonight is also the precious moment for #Hongkongers. #HongKongProtests have shown China’s intolerance to dissidence an d freedoms, and #Taiwaneses have defended their lovely island with their votes.

2. Despite only 4 of us, #hkpolice abused the 4-people gathering ban to disband our booth. We were surrounded by over 50 #police. Once again, #coronavirus measures were used to suppress political dissents in #HKpolicestate.

2/ At about 8PM, we and our friends discovered a white-coloured car parked in the San Po Kong area. There was something suspicious about it. Three hours later, after we left our meeting, we found out that we were each being tailed by a group of four. So, we confronted them.

1.3/ The promise of “2systems” can no longer be held. The claim of "foreign collusion" will doubtlessly lead to arbitrary political prosecutions since the law is now enforced not by local courts but by a newly established secret police body, just like China.

4. Clearly assailant has been targeting consulate for a long time. Under #China’s #wolfwarrior diplomacy, #nationalsecuritylaw & #HKgov's recent move to indoctrinate more nationalism in schools, it's worrying the attack will have longlasting consequences to the city from now on.

4/ While Apply Daily is one of the remaining critical voices in the city, Beijing’s move attempts to send a chilling warning to the city’s critical reporters. The arrest is just one of Beijing’s attack on our press freedom.

Beijing’s aggressive expansion has given a warning signal to democratic states all over the world. If we are determined to safeguard democratic aspirations, we must act to defy China's dictatorial grip.

There is a terrible price to pay in making critical viewpoints over Communist regime and HKGov. Much as I wanted to enjoy free speech comfortably as you do, we are apparently not in the equal footing as I’m not able to exercise that freedom.

4. Clearly legal, education & social service sectors become new targets under #nationalsecuritylaw. #Beijing seeks to put the city's professionals under control & make them serve only its political interests. Political red lines become the new doctrine over professional standards

4/ But no matter what happened, I wish the world could know that how the judicial system right now under the cracked down of Beijing and how activists in Hong Kong will face more and more difficulties to continue our resistance inside the institution. reuters.com/article/uk-hon…

Concurrently, the president also enacted through an executive order a series of necessary measures: the termination of the U.S.-Hong Kong extradition treaty, the allocation of quotas for political refugees, as well as various import and export controls. twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…

4/ Accusing candidates including myself of "soliciting interference by foreign government" with fabricated allegations, four lawmakers were banned from the election in July. They are now unseated on the same ground.

@joshuawongcf
9/ No one knows when the election will be reopened, whether the postponement will be extended, how the current legislature will be shaken up, and how many pro-democracy incumbents will be arrested under #nationalsecuritylaw.

@joshuawongcf
8/ Hong Kong police have imported 129 Daily HI-MATIC model patrol cars from Italian manufacturer Iveco in 2017. As countless news reports show, patrol cars were used to crash to Hong Kong protesters. I urged the Italian government to stop selling patrol cars to Hong Kong.

4. For many of my peers, graduation may be the turning point for the next stage in their lives. But to be honest, I don't share a strong feeling on the issue. With piles of lawsuits and political turmoils in the future, it is not easy, if not impossible, for me to plan my life.

@joshuawongcf
5/ Today, Beijing threats the world to remain silence on Hong Kong. Tomorrow, the same thing happens on its despicable treatments of Uighurs. How long is the world going to keep silent?

4/ their intention is clearly intimidating: stop activism or I risk the daily lives of my friends’ and mine. Yet some people refuse to address the stakes I’m at, instead claiming only had I mistaken tabloid gossip.
