5/ More recently, the hashtag has been aligned with news of satellite evidence showing that Chinese dams withheld water from the lower Mekong region during a damaging drought in downstream countries, raising alarm in Laos, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand and Vietnam.

2/ Yan (medics) said #hkpolice pointed guns at him & smashed him with batons when he was providing the first-aid service during #PolyUSiege. Inspector tried to plant evidence by putting a gas bomb into his bag. Luckily his bag was full at that time so #police’s move was in vain.

Talked to @CBNNews about how #HK #Catholic textbooks are now used for #Beijing’s nationalist propaganda under #nationalsecuritylaw, while #China’s office in HK has just waged a new "struggle against the three mountains” - the city's legal, education and social service sectors. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

4. Although the treaty claims excluding #Tibetans & #Uyghurs, it is dubious if this exemption can really hold since #Beijing in the past treated China-born foreign nationals as Chinese, such as Swedish citizen #GuiMinhai that was sentenced to 10yo prison. wsj.com/articles/china…

김길자 여사님은 다행히 피해가 없으셨다고 하여 마음이 놓였습니다. 이번 폭우로 희생되신 모든 분들의 명복을 빕니다. 이재민과 유가족들께도 깊은 위로를 드립니다. 앞으로 태풍과 폭우가 계속 이어진다고 하는데 큰 피해가 없기를 저도 기도하겠습니다.

5/ Since the law introduces legal and political uncertainties to the city, the world should also reconsider Hong Kong’s special status in order to protect foreign interests and as a way to push for the withdrawal of this evil law.

6/ There is hope. Starting from Hong Kong, democracies around the world must come together to stand their ground. Standing with Hong Kong, the world can show that out of unity, strength is born, and out of strength, freedom can be preserved.

6/ It infected 1,755 people and took away 299 lives. I was just a kid at the time, I remember school was cancelled and I was staring at the news everyday for updates on infection and death numbers, I can still recall how desperate we were.

2/ Wong, one of the city’s most prominent young activists, was speaking outside a court where he and fellow campaigners were being prosecuted for involvement in civil unrest which rocked Hong Kong last year.

14/ It's of vital importance that we acknowledge coronavirus is not an excuse for xenophobia & definitely not a substantial excuse to attack anyone. The most frightening part of current epidemic is not virus itself, but the fear & hatred that is caused by false rumours & biases.

黃偉然 Wong, 29
...“I’m so sorry”, “sorry, mom” and “forgive my selfishness”. Even since being released from Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre, he had been more distant to his friends & family. Rarely did he have dining with his family, but often did he lock himself inside the room.

2/ Rule of law, free flow of information, checks & balances are compromised & give way to Xi’s Chinese Dream. The Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak precisely explain this argument. HK, given its proximity to mainland China, is highly prone to infection and spread of disease.

Two of my books — alongside those from other pro-democracy activists — were removed from Hong Kong public libraries. ‘With sweeping powers and ill-defined law,’ I said, ‘the city will turn into a secret police state.’

@joshuawongcf
Some of the youths' families have instructed Mainland lawyers to visit the detainees at the Centre but all lawyers have all been denied access by the authorities. Till now, the HK government has yet to release any information relating to the 12 youths. facebook.com/save12hkyouths/

2. According to telegram bot developed by #Hkprotesters that crowdsources information about unknown cars owned by #hkpolice or unknown Chinese holders, the cars’ numbers are all classified as “dangerous cars”.

5. Unfortunately, Youtube and Netflix alike still remain silent on their stances on #NSL and whether they will bend to China’s whips and censor “sensitive videos” from their platforms. We hope all service providers can put democratic values ahead of dollar signs.

05. Prohibit behaviors claimingly harmful to national security
The CE shall take the responsibility to maintain national security in HKSAR; develop national security education; prohibit behaviours which harm national security according to the law, and regularly report to the CPG.

6/ To protect the city's autonomy and the Canadian interests in this global financial city, I call upon the Canadian Government to reconsider Hong Kong's special treatment and take all necessary actions to oppose the national security law.

2/ Even for street activism, those who chanted “Long Live Liverpool” were framed as inciting Hong Kong independence, while others that put “FreeHK” and “Conscience” stickers on phones were arrested for “inciting subversion” during yesterday’s demonstration.

4/ That's my reason to support resolution introduced by @MarshaBlackburn to condemn Beijing provided misinformation to downplay risks of #WuhanVirus, refusal to cooperate with international health authorities, internal censorship of doctors & journalists. congress.gov/bill/116th-con…

15/ China has to offer and sacrifice respect for human rights. The economic recession brought by the virus ought not to be resolved through succumbing to China’s encroaching authoritarianism; trade happens on equal and fair terms but not threatening and bullying.
