2. But from the content of the letters, they might have been tortured until they agreed to make forced confessions, saying they had appointed lawyers assigned by the authorities, saying they regretted taking part in activism.
27
3. I wish to pay tributes to our fellow activists who are about to face trials and prison, or to whom in distress for not being able to return home: We're not fearless, but you are the braver ones.

P.S. Even in prison, I will continue sharing my thoughts on Patreon. I welcome everyone to write me letters via P. O. Box 73962, Kowloon Central Post Office, Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon. patreon.com/joshuawong

9/ “We rejoice in our sufferings,” Romans 5:3-4 reads, “knowing that suffering produces endurance. and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” Once sown, seeds will one day sprout. Weary and distraught as some of you might feel, please have each others’ backs.
31
8/ Five years ago, after the Umbrella Movement, we all once believed mass movements were no longer possible. Nevertheless, it was the courage and resolution of each Hongkonger that have brought us through darkest valley and made the impossible possible.
32
7/ Hence, despite possible jail sentences ahead, it is my honour to stand with each of you from the very beginning, fight shoulder to shoulder, and bring our voices to the world. Nevertheless, whatever storm we might face, I always have my faith in my fellow Hongkongers.
33
6/ Ever since the outbreak of the movement last year, when the smell of tear gas has become our collective memory, I always remember what one of Hong Kong activists, @BrianLeungKP , said, “More than language and values we share, what connects all the Hongkongers is the pain.”
34
5/ Some of them were tortured, forced into exile, or even took their own lives after chanting protest slogans. That's the reason why, ever since my 1st release from prison, I have vowed to draw more public attention to prison justice, in particular those on political prisoners.
35
4/ Under the continuing onslaughts against the city’s dissents, generations of youths go from protests to prisons. To safeguard liberty for the place that we are born, all of them have made silent but regretless sacrifice.
36
3/ After consulting with lawyers, @chowtingagnes, @ivanlamviiv and I will plead guilty, which implies that Mon’s hearing will skip trials and go straight into sentencing. Compare to with 2k HKers are prosecuted and 12 HKers detained in China, the charges that I face are minimal.
37
2/ Never have I underestimated the chance of imprisonment at the upcoming hearing on Mon, especially at the time when lawmakers were expelled, journalists were sued for mentioning police brutality, and universities were probed in the pretext of national security claims.

5/ To defy the greatest human rights abusers is the essential way to restore democracy of our generation, and the generation following us.

4/ I only wish that during my absence, you can continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong, by following closely to the development, no matter the ill-fated election, the large-scale arrest under National Security Law or the twelve activists in China.
41
3/ In the coming months, I will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and up to one ridiculous year for wearing a mask in protest. But prison bars would never stop me from activism and thinking critically.

1/ No doubt there is a terrible price to pay in standing up to the Beijing and HK government. But after serving a few brief jail sentences and facing the continuing threat of harassment...

Under #NationalSecurityLaw in #HongKong, now even flying balloons is a crime.
44
Dozens of #hkpolice deliberately travelled miles to hunt down #HK12youths’ parents, just because they flew balloons and called for #save12hkyouths
Even 2 reporters were accused of violating gathering ban because they carried two balloons.
