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.

[When phone spy-tech are used for crackdowns & punitive diplomacy, more to go]
1. After months of advocacy efforts by #Israeli rights lawyers & #HKers, it's welcome news that #Cellebrite decided to halt selling phone-hacking services to #Hongkong & #China haaretz.com/israel-news/te…

I believed there were data privacy concerns surrounding any plan for mandatory Covid-19 testing and the most “worrying” part of the scheme was the potential involvement of mainland companies. It's time for Hongkongers to boycott this evil proposal.

The current legislation could not guarantee that personal data would not be sent to mainland China. It was unclear whether the new proposal would be targeted at an outbreak or whether everyone would be forced to take a test.

4/ Shocked and appalled as HKGov evidently colluded with Beijing to put activists in greater danger, on matters clearly within its jurisdiction. The promise of #OneCountryTwoSystem has filled with abhorrent stain.

3/ while we received the list of GFS personnel involving in the operation, contact details of the entire Operations Unit is deleted from its telephone directory. Clearly Govt is hiding from the truth. @owenchowkashing @ChuHoiDick @LesterShum @save12hkyouths

1/ We thought HKGov reluctant to #save12hkyouths for they weren’t informed until reading news. Yet fly record doc provided by a whistleblower to me revealed Gov knew from beginning the whereabouts of speedboat.

5/ On this journey against brutal authorities, there’s a delicate balancing between my private and public politics life. It always comes with some sacrifices to become fearless. I’m not deterred and I’m not giving it up.

2/ Investigation by @appledaily revealed the registered owners of Toyota & Honda 7seaters shared same names of 2 serving police officers - striking resemblance to last account which I was harassed by a group at the Peak’s Garden - both didn’t respond to a request for comment.

3/In @BBC podcast @dannydvincent recalls a police source once explained ‘otherwise new #NSL agents’d hv nothing to do’, confirming these mafia-style acts do happen in HK, targeting not only activists, also int’l journalists.
288
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.

3. Earlier this year, I also received complaints from young #HKprotesters who were tortured by Pik Uk's prison guards by elbowing them in spine & slapping them for singing #GlorytoHongKong. It is worrying that what kind of maltreatment that Kin may face.

4. Compared to the sacrifice that the city’s young souls have made, mine is negligible. I hope #Hongkongers and the world can continue standing with them when dissents are thrown into prisons one by one.

2. As a juvenile suspect, he may be detained at #PikUk Prison, which is notorious of jail abuses, from forcing prisoners to lick urine to pouring boiling porridge over their heads. Situation grows afterwards, esp when it comes to political prisoners.

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…
