5. This diplomatic intimidation solely aims at stigmatizing pro-democracy forces & silencing voices supporting HK. But when Beijing loyalists also met foreign MPs/officials in the past, it is clear these exchanges are normal & crucial to guarantee int'l confidence over the city.

4. Such #Beijing interference intensified before #nationalsecuritylaw. As @amnesty report says, #Beijing & its loyalists increasingly use “threats, bullying and harassment” to stamp out voices criticizing #China’s human rights violations in HK & #Uyghurs.

[#China blocks MPs from meeting pro-democracy figures]
1. #Beijing exerted pressure on #Canadian MPs, urging them not to meet #HK democracy figures, incl recently arrested media mogul #JimmyLai and me during their tour to HK in 2017, per @globeandmail.

5. According to a survey by concern groups, 75% of existing or former detainees think that the treatment at CIC is inhumane, with more than 35% faced verbal or physical violence. 11% of them were even detained for more than one year without trial.

6. In fact, throughout #hkprotests last year, #HKers were reportedly subject to brutal tortures in detention centres. As #nationalsecuritylaw allows indefinite detention w/o trials and bail, it is worrying that this kind of Chinese-style black prison will become prevalent in #HK.

4. Singh criticized that CIC is worse than prisons, where detainees are tortured and treated like “animals”. CIC concern group blasted that detainees face indefinite detention, while some of them have already been detained for two years, without trials and access to bail.

2. The victim, Vikramjeet Singh, was severely assaulted in a place not covered by CCTV cameras, with multiple bruises on wrists, arms and legs, as well as broken bones in chest and back. Impatient with Singh’s hunger strike, officers even scolded him, “go to die!”

[Detainee faces indefinite detention & tortures in #HK]
1. A detainee from #India on hunger strike was brutally beaten by officers at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Center (CIC, aka "black prison"), before unwillingly sending to hospital for forced injection, per @appledaily_hk.

With such a hardline crackdown on my friend, I’m really disappointed – in Southeast Asia, the idea that activists should have more solidarity and unity is really important.

Wong told @HongKongFP that sharing his experiences of civil disobedience was not equal to advocating such methods: “I am totally disappointed with the judgement, because having a Skype conference within an indoor panel discussion should not be recognised as any public assembly.”

7. Universities should be more than just business values, but also the bastion of liberal values. I hope that Australian universities should take concrete measures to protect their autonomy and make their controversial ties with #China more transparent.

@joshuawongcf
5. On top of that, Beijing-backed and owned entities also use to the research capacity of Australian universities to develop #China’s surveillance and social credit system, which are used in internal repressions.

2. From growing unexamined ties with China, censored articles to expelled students, It is worrying that autonomy of Australia's universities now faces intensifying erosions.

@joshuawongcf
3. Without public scrutiny on funds from #Beijing government and directly funded bodies, it is worrying that those CCP funds have become China’s new leverage, which would clearly undermine the educational independence of receiving universities.

8/ Also, it should be applicable to its employees in Hong Kong. Since the saga will definitely undermine the company’s reputation and raise more doubts on its commitment to liberal values that its customers care most, I hope Apple can affirm its commitment...

@joshuawongcf
7/ After the tragic killing of George Floyd, you also issued an open letter to the company's employees to reiterate the importance of diversity and vow to "build an Apple that is inclusive of everyone." This inspirational message should be the core value that Apple stands for.
