I hope our Taiwan friends really go for it, and with their votes show the Taiwan people’s determination to refuse to bow and scrape before Beijing. This is the greatest support you can give HK. I wish Taiwan the best of luck as the countdown to Election Day nears its end!

3/ It was reported that officers in the DoJ are under political pressure when handling cases of protesters. Hence it is doubtful whether DoJ can really distance itself from the prosecutors.

They are youngsters who love HK; while their detainees. Your attention on the issue, though might not be able to necessarily bring them back to HK immediately, can at least protect them, bringing a glimpse of hope to their family members. @save12hkyouths

1/ HKGov has invited tenders for its “Relaunch HK” campaign as a desperate attempt to restore its international image through public relations & publicity efforts. Hence, HKPRU is of the view that Gov has never genuinely looked at the crux of the matter. fb.com/11267458691068…

1.6/ China is known for its hostage diplomacy by arresting foreigners as hostages to serve its diplomatic purposes. Foreign reporters were also denied renewals of work visas for covering political dissents in the past.

But, in one of the densest cities in the world, many have voluntarily socially distanced themselves - with some even avoiding Lunar New Year gatherings, the equivalent of skipping Christmas events. bbc.com/news/world-asi…

7/ 有罪判決や中国大陸に引き渡されることの怖さは、想像すら出来なかった。未来に対する不安や恐怖が、ずっと心に湧き出ていた。
やっと弁護士に会えた時、涙は我慢できなかった。あの孤独と恐怖の中、彼らは私の唯一の頼りだった。

[The national security law is just the stepping stone for more political intervention by China.]
1/ Beijing treats “cyber and information security” as an indispensable component of its national security, according to China's “national security” narrative.

[My respond to National People's Congress Standing Committee member Tam Yiu-chung said that Extraditions possible under new national security law]

3/ All these mean the concern over community spread is real. And concerns grow when our adjacent province, Guangdong, is now the second hardest-hit after Hubei. Don’t forget, over 80 cities in #China have already been sealed to stop the virus spread.

4/ We expected the police to disperse any gathering that takes place on June4. We are worried, but we can't give up our freedom. It might be easier if we stood by, but we will act, not only for ourselves, but also because we believe, plainly & simply, it is the right thing to do.

3. #HKers can also be taken to #China’s courts w/o legal access, just like #12hkyouths now detained for nearly one month. Their family-instructed lawyers are reportedly forced to quit the case under #Beijing's pressure. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

7/ On the day he was released from prison last year, he made an appearance outside the headquarters of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, where he was cheered on by thousands of people who had gathered in protest against a proposed extradition bill.

5. While #Hkgov claims the new law only affects a small group of people, the reality is clearly the exact opposite. Under #CCP's tightening red line and its #wolfwarriordiplomacy, it becomes clear that the regime will stifle dissents with all weapons in its toolkits.

@joshuawongcf
The UN is another case in point. In 1971, it kicked out Taiwan. In 1972, it removed Hong Kong from the official List of Non-Self-Governing Territories, so we'd have no referendum to decide our future. This is all great-power politics over the right of self-determination.

5/ He says the more people who vote in the primary elections, the higher chance that “our rights would be granted and more cost for Beijing to put me again in jail.” Joshua jas been arrested eight times, spent three months in prison last year.

@joshuawongcf
1.5/ The law also carries deadly implications for all expats living and working in Hong Kong. In fact, Beijing is notorious accusing critical voices by civil society, ex-pats and media outlets of posing threats to national security in Mainland China.

3/ We are all terrified because this new virus reminds us of how the Chinese government covered up the severity of SARS (Severe acute respiratory syndrome) which infected 8,098 people and took away 774 lives across 30 countries in 2003.
