Wow, 4.7 million votes cast in the @TIME 100 poll, and my friend @nathanlawkc came in No. 1. Thank you for his hard work and sacrifices. Thank you for everyone who, through backing him, support #HongKong's broader fight for democracy. Congrats! time.com/5889780/time-1…

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…

[First judge resigns amid #nationalsecuritylaw]
1. Appalled to hear that our prominent #Australian judge James Spigelman resigned from #HK appeals court over #NSL, days after #Beijing claims there is no separation of powers in HK

3/ Not a day goes by #HK people worrying about the situtaion of them. What makes the situation so dire is that they are completely disconnected with the outside world. God knows how does the #Chinese authorities treat them in detention. #Save12HKyouths @save12hkyouths

#Day27 [Right of visiting 12 detainees declined]
1/ While #CCP may claim that the group is not under consular protection, the right of visiting 12 detainees by consulate is an absolutely legitimate & reasonable demand, especially for a🇵🇹 #Portugese national & 2 #UK #BNO holders.
459
2/ But it looks that the #Portuguese Consulate office has yet to intend to visit the detained Portuguese national in person. Earlier his lawyer worried that efforts of the Portuguese authorities are 'far from satisfactory'.

🇵🇹 [Portugal tem o direto de visitar portador de passaporte detido na China]

2. The exporter added HKgov always stresses One Country is above everything, even the Two Systems, "When the world starts to treat HK in the same way as they do to other mainland cities, our government now emphasizes 'independence of #HongKong’ instead. It's just ridiculous."
462
1. #HKgov now demands #US to drop the new label ban and stresses its products are not made in China. One local exporter told @appledaily_hk, slamming HKgov for being hypocritical since it previously arrested now-disbanded Demosisto members for selling “not-made-in-China” masks.
463
5. With such systematic oppressions of HK freedom seekers, especially under #nationalsecuritylaw amid #Beijing’s mounting influence, it is foreseeable that more and more people will lose trust in the city’s judicial impartiality which this international financial centre lies on.
464
4. In contrast, activists like #TamTakChi are charged sedition and denied bail just because they chanted slogans like “#5DemandsNot1Less” and blasted #HKgov and #hkpolicebrutality with critical voices.

5/ But before further disclosure of the evidence, is it a response in proportionality to silence a #whistleblower whose life might put at risk to safeguard viewpoints that are potentially inconvenient to an oppressed regime like #CCP ?
469
4/ Any debate over the origins of the virus is indisputably contentious. Cautious to safeguard free and genuine information flow, huge strain has been put upon media platforms to tackle misinformation.

2/ Despite Yan’s disputed claim, suspending a user’s account is unusual, deviating from Twitter’s latest policy of labelling controversial posts since May.

Twitter Suspends Account of Chinese Virologist Who Claimed Coronavirus Was Made in a Lab
1/ After publishing a report over the origins of the widespread Coronavirus, virologist Dr. Li-Meng Yan who fled #China recently, had her Twitter account blocked.

4. In fact, it is common for #China to use discretion power to return criminal suspects to #Hongkong in the past. @hkcnews_com revealed, #Beijing did send around 2-3 suspects per year to #HK over the past 5 years, even for cases that fell into China’s jurisdiction.
474
5. Since their situation becomes more and more critical, especially for those running out of medication, the basic legal rights of HKers and foreign nationals should be well protected. We wish to see their immediate return to #HK safe.
