3. With the flow of information further blocked, #China is now effectively decoupling this international financial hub, as well as the major global media centre in the region, by weaponizing its visa system to stifle critical voices.

A quick recap of what really happened at July 21 Yuen Long attack... and guess who got arrested? - those who got attacked...

A statement released after her arrest said infrared surveillance camera had appeared next to her doorstep in the week ahead of her arrest & was removed after she was pulled in by police. In China, putting a camera outside the door of dissidents is a common trick of secret police.

Agnes Chow was surprised when strange men appeared near her house, apparently keeping watch in shifts and openly filming her with their smartphones. “I’m a bit scared,” she wrote in a Facebook post a day before her arrest that included a photo of the men.

“I’m asking the minister of defense to stop Cellebrite exports to HK,” says lawyer in Tel Aviv. “as far as I know, they never got export license. Gov need to do oversight on company working without a license.”

4. More than just turning lies into truths with disinformation, today’s incident sends a worrying signal to how #HKgov will enforce #nationalsecuritylaw in the city, where even basic facts can be rewritten to suit the official narrative and justify future repression.

3. When cops were caught by media cameras patting the white-clad mobs’ shoulders, police claimed they were pushing him at that time.

[Biggest rewriting of history]
1 Today #hkpolice arrested lawmaker @cheuktinglam for rioting, just because Lam tried to mediate situation one year ago when #HKers were assaulted by pro-#Beijing mobs after making 24,000 emergency calls, without response.

2/ Since the very beginning of our resistance, HKers are not just fighting for freedom in HK, but also safeguarding liberal values that the world cherishes. When world democracy faces unprecedented backsliding, we are all the oppressed struggling for hope. inkstonenews.com/politics/belar…

홍콩 항쟁, 그 영향력은 이미 홍콩 내부의 알력싸움이 아니게 되었다. 전 세계 시민사회의 발전 과정 속에서 홍콩의 중요성은 이미 우리가 간과해서는 안 되는 것이 된 것이다. 우리 더더욱 힘을 냅시다! facebook.com/joshuawongchif…

심지어 이 지역의 친구들만이 아니라 이 세상 어딘가에서 홍콩인들의 항쟁으로 감동을 받았던 사람들에게까지도 영향을 준다. 오늘 한국의 학생들로부터 메일을 받았는데 그 친구들의 쓴 글의 문장 문장이 모두 너무나 감동적이었다.

[한국 고등학생의 편지를 받고]
정치적인 일에 뛰어들고 난 후 종종 어렵고 맥이 빠지는 느낌이 들 때가 있었다. 또 그 과정속에도 많은 어려움이 있었지만 나는 우리가 하는 한 마디 한 마디, 썼던 글 한 편 한 편이 항상 주변의 많은 사람들에게 영향을 줄 수 있다는 것을 느꼈다.

5/ I have been blacklisted and locked up by authorities in Southeast Asia as part of Bi efforts to silence me and stop me from globally engaging with students, politicians and citizens from other countries.

2/ Language barriers and cultural differences do not matter.
What happened in Hong Kong has inspired other student protest movements and I know that a lot of Thai protesters in Bangkok look to us Hongkongers for solidarity and support.

3/ It is time for the rest of the world to see what’s going on in Southeast Asia—intimidation by authoritarian governments who are relying on outdated laws and ideologies to suppress young voices that want change and a better future.
