The Hong Kong police now grants access to ground operations only to “trusted media outlets”: On Monday, reporters from Reuters, Agence France-Presse and The Associated Press, among others, reportedly were blocked from the scene of the raid at Apple Daily. cn.nytimes.com/opinion/202008…

15/ And yet, in the face of this darkest new era of censorship and repression, HK’s spirit of resistance is unflagging. Many HKers lined up in the early hours of Tuesday to buy the day’s edition of Apple Daily.
831
16/ Some groups bought up stashes of the paper to distribute for free to passers-by. More than 500,000 copies had to be printed in total, five times the usual. Hong Kongers will keep finding ways, big and small, to resist.

We will respond to repression by demonstrating our solidarity creatively.

4/ Also, the law is also posing threats to all ex-pats and travellers both inside or outside Hong Kong, since Beijing has begun arresting non-Chinese nationals overseas. All these brutal crackdowns are trampling on the liberal values that Western democracies rest upon.
834
6/ Therefore, we hope the Northern Ireland government can clarify its stance and stand up for the liberal values that the world cherishes. Since Beijing is now stepping up its suppression, we hope the world will keep a close watch on the development here and stand with Hong Kong.
835
5/ It will be more worrying if the Northern Ireland government chooses to turn a blind eye to the potential human rights concerns behind the law and bow down low to Beijing solely in exchange for more economic ties with China in business and education. belfast.chineseconsulate.org/chn/zlghd/t180…

3/ Activists were prosecuted for commemorating the bloody 1989 Tiananmen Square Massacre, for the first time in 31 years after the crackdown. Days ago, even the city's pro-democracy media mogul @JimmyLaiApple was arrested under the new security law.
837
2/ Just within one month after the national security law was put in place, the city has been blanketed in Orwellian fear. Books were pulling from libraries. People carrying stickers with quotes from Bibles or carrying blank placards were charged for breaching the security law.

7/ 本当にとても辛い時期、これからどんどんどんどん辛くなるかもしれませんが、引き続き自分の家を守るために、頑張らないといけないという決心もつけましたので、これからも香港人の1人として頑張っていきたいと思います。ありがとうございました。」

1/ #FreeAgnes「正直、昨日の逮捕は本当に突然なことなので、私は昨日まではそういう心の準備はできていないままで逮捕されました。今までこの香港の民主化運動に参加するのはもう8年目になりましたけれども、今まで4回逮捕されましたけれども、正直に今回は一番怖かった、一番キツかったです。
