4. 저는 지금 홍콩 데모시스트당의 사무총장직의 사퇴를 선언하며 홍콩 데모시스트당을 탈퇴해 개인의 자격으로 저의 신념을 실천하고자 합니다. 홍콩의 의지는 국가보안법 혹은 어떠한 악법으로도 꺾이지 않을 것 입니다.

3. 10년 이상의 투옥과 가혹한 고문을 당하고 심지어 중국으로의 인도 등 앞으로 무슨 일이 일어날지 누구도 알 수 없게 되었습니다. 혹독한 운명이 눈앞으로 다가온 지금 개인의 앞날을 헤아릴 수 없게 되었지만 이럴 때 일수록 더더욱 이를 짊어지려는 용기를 내어야 합니다.

[홍콩 민주화운동가 조슈아웡, 페이스북 글_06.30]
1. 홍콩 데모시스트당 창당 이래 저의 동료들은 정치적인 문제에 지속적으로 관심을 기울여 왔습니다. 또 항쟁의 길에서 설령 큰 파도가 덮쳐오는 상황이었을 지라도 모두 물러나지 않았으며 어려움 속에서도 저와 함께해 주었습니다.
1229
2. 저는 이것에 대해 진심으로 감사를 표하고 싶습니다. 하지만 국가보안법이 통과되고 중국의 인민해방군이 ‘참수’라는 저격훈련을 공개한 상황 속에서 홍콩의 민주항쟁에 뛰어드는 것이 생명의 안전을 걱정해야 하는 일이 된 것은 더 이상 터무니없는 이야기가 아니게 되었습니다.

3. With sweeping powers and ill-defined law, the city will turn into a #secretpolicestate. #HongKongProtesters now face high possibilities of being extradited to China’s courts for trials and life sentences.
1232
4. However, even under the ill wind of #China’s direct authoritarian rule, #Hongkongers will continue to fight for our freedoms and democracy for the city’s next generations. When justice fails, our fight goes on.

[End of Hong Kong, Beginning of Reign of Terror]
1. #Beijing has just passed the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw. It marks the end of Hong Kong that the world knew before.
1235
5. With draconian punishments, the law is Sword of Damocles hanging over civil society & business communities in the city. As #Hongkong is on the brink of collapse, I call upon the world to take stronger actions to urge China to withdraw the law.
1236
4. Not to mention that offenders could be extradited to #China’s courts for trials and subject to forced confessions through tortures, televised confessions, arbitrary detention and secret trials.
1237
3. As Wang says, by throwing all the political leaders behind bars, what Beijing plans is to kill the whole generations of dissents.
1238
2. According to Wang Dan, one of the student leaders of the #TiananmenSquare pro-democracy movement in 1989, #Beijing will arrest me Joshua Wong and the city’s pro-democracy media tycoons Jimmy Lai on Wednesday (July 1), the day after the law is put into place.

[With its claws sharpened, Beijing toughens penalties under #NationalSecurityLaw]
1. Defying all oppositions, #Beijing will pass the law by June 30. NPC delegate Ip Kwok-him unveils, maximum penalty will be raised from 10 years to life sentence, heavier than previously expected.
1241
4.4/ No matter how gloomy our future might be, I still hold strong confidence in Hongkongers. Therefore, I call upon the world to take actions to safeguard the city's freedoms from tyranny.
1242
4.3/ Just like democratization movements in other places, like South Korea, Taiwan, the Czech Republic and Poland, all fights for liberty and democracy take years. Now is still the beginning of our fight.
1243
1/ It is foreseeable that China will fully implement the national security law swiftly.
1.1/ It's based largely on the level of international pressure. Even though various countries have expressed concerns, unfortunately only a handful of them pledges to take punitive actions.
1244
3. This is the first sanction using #HongKongHumanRightsAndDemocracyAct that was passed last year. I believe today’s visa restriction should be just the beginning.
1245

[Response to US's visa ban on CCP officials]
1. When #Beijing insists on ramming through an unpopular & sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw that imperils HK’s autonomy, @SecPompeo just announced visa bans on #CCP officials responsible for undermining #HK’s autonomy and human rights.
1247
1248
2.3/ It is by far the strongest criticism made among former public officers. Though these limited opposing opinion would not be able to prevent Beijing from doing so.
