3. Slightly different from previous cases, the scope this time is unprecedentedly broader, not only limited to the young and progressive candidates but also those of the traditional political parties.

2. The letters have been long considered as the way to disqualify election runners since the electoral officers have huge powers to bar any candidates from running the election.

[#Beijing is paving ways to disqualify pro-democracy candidates]
1. Despite 610,000+ #HKers voting in first-ever #hkprimaries, pro-democracy candidates started receiving letters from #HKgov questioning their political stances, including whether they support #nationalsecuritylaw

The Vatican has said little about the ongoing democracy protests in HK, even though local churches have been major supporters of the movement. Joshua Wong says his faith motivates his work. This week, he announced his candidacy for the HK legislature. abc.net.au/radionational/…

As I told @appledaily_hk, Beijing’s latest threat to somehow “not recognize” BN(O) passports is ludicrous. #HongKong citizens use our HKIDs to exit the territory and, if we enter China, use our so-called “Return Home Permits.” Meanwhile, British citizens use their UK passports.

2. Wonderful story by @BBC on how I was tailed by 3 unknown cars and 1 motorbike on the day that I applied to run for #HK legislature. bbc.co.uk/news/av/world-…

[Seeking justice amid stalking by unknown agents]
1. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, the world may be wondering how it affects the daily life of ordinary #Hongkongers, especially #Hongkongprotestors. Chinese-style surveillance and stalking is one thing.

Yesterday it was #Tibet. Today is #HongKong. Tomorrow might be #Taiwan’s turn. If we don’t stand up for freedom, #China will prevail.

It’s my pleasure to speak with @jonsnowC4. Indeed, under #nationalsecuritylaw, continuing to fight for freedoms in #Hongkong is always risking our life by #Beijing, but that is the duty of our generation to carry on the cause. twitter.com/jonsnowC4/stat…

[#Nationsecuritylaw changes business-political nexus]
1. Excellent story by @TheEconomist with insights on how #NSL imperils #HK’s business environment, impartiality and gov role, while #Beijing claims the law will not affect business confidence.

It's not exactly the wisest thing to characterize as China's "domestic policies" the National Security Law against Hong Kongers and concentration camps against Uyghurs. @NBA has been complicit for too long on these issues, and @mcuban's comments today are disappointing. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

5. However, fear will not scare me and all freedom-loving #Hongkongers off. We will continue our fight and let our next generations live in freedoms without fear.

[Under #nationalsecuritylaw, I was tailed by 4 unknown cars in 30 min today]
1. After #NSL became effective, stalking that targets me has intensified. Solely today I was tailed by at least 4 unknown cars/motorbikes in 30min drive. Even my Uber driver could tell we were stalked
1049
2. According to telegram bot developed by #Hkprotesters that crowdsources information about unknown cars owned by #hkpolice or unknown Chinese holders, the cars’ numbers are all classified as “dangerous cars”.
