2. At that time it was like a miracle when the final result was announced. Everybody cheered with joy at the central counting centre, with hopes in our eyes to make some changes in the rigged system that had lost its touch with the people completely.

3. Since it could be the first case that #HKers are put on trial in China’s secret court under #nationalsecuritylaw, we hope the world can keep watch on the situation and wish they can all come back safe. #save12hkyouths #save12hkyouth #save12

[HK #Asylumseekers with access to lawyers blocked]
1. Two weeks after pre-trial detention, Chinese cops blocked lawyers from getting access to the 12 HK #Asylumseekersdetained in #China, per @icablenews. Lawyers described the practice is unusual and without legal ground.

2. Amid textbook censorship, #HKers feel their pains. Please listen to their message to the world - Thai education has made us puppets. We are not robots of the system, we are the youth and have the right to express ourselves. #หนูรู้หนูมันเลว #standwiththailand #MilkTeaAlliance

[Students are not puppets]
1. Calling for education reform, protection of #freespeech in schools and democracy, #Thai high school students today rallied outside #Thailand’s education ministry, with white ribbons urging the release of detained activists in prison.

Joshua Wong supported calls to boycott the movie, which will debut in cinemas. "Because Disney kowtows to Beijing, and because Liu Yifei openly and proudly endorses police brutality in HK, I urge everyone who believes in human rights to #BoycottMulan” nbcnews.com/news/world/dis…

Hong Kongers disapprove Cop Backer @yifei_cc and Blackface @DonnieYenCT. That’s why we are calling for freedom-loving peoples everywhere to #BoycottMulan.

A good oped worth reading.
"I’m an HK doctor – police crackdown on protesters has turned even hospitals into war zones. I've been labeled a ‘riot medic’ for attending to injured HKers, & police have intimidated colleagues who volunteered as first aiders."

1/ The situation of Hong Kong is closely connected to a greater context -- the rivalry between China and the US, the growing tension between China and Europe.

China's national security law for Hong Kong poses a serious risk to the city's freedoms and breaches international legal obligations, UN special rapporteurs on human rights warn. u.afp.com/3bYK

6. In order to bring those #asylumseekers back and safe, we hope the world can keep a close watch on the issue. #save12hkyouth #save12hkyouths

3. Under #China's law, suspects can be released on bail. But in reality, especially when all the #asylumseekers may face further charges under #China's #nationalsecuritylaw and other criminal laws, the chance of bail is slim.

@joshuawongcf
5. Up to now, #Hkgov & #hkpolice downplay the whole incident. It casts further shadows over #nationalsecuritylaw as #HKgov will offer nearly no help when #Hongkongers and foreigners are extradited to #China and face inhuman and unfair treatment in secret trials and dark prisons.

@joshuawongcf
4. If leaving aside all other national security charges and just solely considering the charge of "crossing national border without immigration procedures", the 12 #asylumseekers may face a maximum penalty of one year in #China's prison.

@joshuawongcf
2. But even after the arrest, there's still a huge question mark on when they will be prosecuted, put on trial and how long trial will last. Prosecution can be further delayed if Chinese prosecutors claim they need “supplementary investigation”. It will be like an endless tunnel.

[Trapped in the black hole -

1. Only thing we know is they are all taken to detention centre in #Shenzhen & Chinese cops will decide whether to arrest them formally by Oct 1, according to #China’s law

Liu isn't a victim somehow caught in the geopolitical crossfire. Neither is she an icon of feminism if she ignores the suffering of female protesters. She's instead an icon of authoritarianism willfully betraying the values Hollywood purports to champion. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…
