4. The law is just the stepping stone for more interventions from #Beijing. With its ill-defined scope, the law will doubtlessly become the new weapon to crush dissents. With the new #secretpolice agency, Beijing can enforce #China's law in the territory of #HK.

11/ Worse still, quarantine centres are patrolled by untrained teenage scouts. With limited protection gear & an endless influx of travellers from China, it's a matter of time before virus turns into a full-blown community outbreak.

Mr. China
Jerome A. Cohen pioneered the study of Chinese law in the United States. He met with Zhou Enlai, trained Chinese officials and helped American firms set up in China. Now, even at 90, he presses Beijing on its human rights record.

4/ Almost every parties experienced organized stalking. At first, it looked to us that none of these arbitrary arrests and harassments is acceptable in an international city like HK. But Beijing is willing to turn this city into uncivilised and autocratic rule.

"Every day when I sleep, I can't predict if will I be arrested suddenly. Being stalked and tracked by unknown cars and motorcycles is part of my daily life. The most uncertainty is around... the risk of being extradited to China and being given a life sentence.”

4/ There's only one group of people in the city who can ignore traffic rules & bear no consequences for their reckless driving - China’s national security agents. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, agents can directly kidnap any citizens or foreigners inside the territory of #Hongkong.

While the world is busy trying to contain the spread of the deadly coronavirus, Chinese authorities last week pulled credentials from journalists at three major media outlets: the @nytimes, @WSJ and @washingtonpost.

2/ Individuals, companies and NGO institutions can be freely framed as "colluding with external forces" for any speech, participation, interviews, or even just a "like" on social media accounts. That's the reason why so many human rights defenders were put into jail in China.

3/ Of millions of visitors who have come to HK, how many of them have unknowingly been in close contact with those who have contracted coronavirus? Medical staff went on strike to pressure HKGov to seal off the borders to prevent more people from entering HK but to no avail.

6. Justice delayed is justice denied. To protect personal safety & confidentiality of citizens, reporters & foreigners worldwide, we hope other digital forensic firms can halt phone hacking cooperations w/ repressive regimes, lest extracted info are used in crackdown on dissents.

張銘裕 Cheung, 20
In his twenty, Cheung originally was similar to others, having hobbies of playing football, rock climbing to diving. Since he's relatively more mature, he takes care of himself well. Such active youngster was however arrested being entitled to criminal charge.

4/ From the moment that Xi Jinping’s image becomes the top priority, the autonomous decision-making mechanism of the Hong Kong government has collapsed.

3. //la stratégie de Pékin consiste à prendre pour cible les universitaires, à les intimider et à paralyser l’ensemble de la communauté pour éteindre tout débat ou éluder toute perspective en contradiction avec le discours du régime chinois//

3/ ...and it banned an initiative by Catholic activists to mobilize a prayer campaign for Hong Kong. It is unclear whether the pressure for these measures came from Beijing or Rome, or out of fear in the diocese of the wrath of both.

3/ The Chinese developer put pressure on Wanin to “handle the issue with real action”, but Wanin defied the political pressure and vowed to defend the freedom of speech of Taiwan players. Less than 30 minutes, the Chinese side decided to terminate the cooperation agreement.

5. When digital authoritarianism reigns, repressive regimes do not only suppress with bullets and batons, but also surveillance and hacking. Solely in #Belarus, mobile hacking tools are used by long-time dictator #Lukashenko against freedom-seeking souls.

15/ With rage & grievance boiling over across the political spectrum, people realise the opaqueness & undemocratic nature of this Beijing-handpicked leader. Whether HKGov can maintain its autonomy in internal affairs like border controls & handling of pandemic is questionable.

10/ Carrie Lam has cancelled meetings with medics. Instead, Gov put in place quarantine order, which is criticised for being toothless. Though mandatory, measure heavily relies on the self-discipline of quarantined people & is merely enforced by random checks or calls.

4/ To hold these global human rights abusers to account, Hongkongers also call on the wider world to put forward an effective human-rights sanction regime.

He fears that participating in a protest could land him in front of Communist Party-approved judges in the mainland, instead of HK judge is known for. “They might target me, I might be prosecuted but not in HK, in China. Never say never under the hard-line crackdown of Beijing.”

5/ ...including those from foreign correspondents. For journalists who had covered the Hong Kong movements last year, their visa applications or renewals were delayed for weeks or even rejected, mirroring the control of the media in mainland China.

4/ Not to mention that PAP was used to suppress uprisings in Xinjiang and Tibet. When it is expected protests will resume ahead of local legislative elections in September, it is doubtless that #Beijing will take a strong-arm policy this time.

3. Even before this evil law is implemented, #HKgov has already tightened its grip by banning this years’ candlelight vigil for the first time in 30 years. To block #Hongkongers from joining the vigil, the venue was locked down w/ barricades, with thousands of #hkpolice deployed.
