15/ China has to offer and sacrifice respect for human rights. The economic recession brought by the virus ought not to be resolved through succumbing to China’s encroaching authoritarianism; trade happens on equal and fair terms but not threatening and bullying.

‘홍콩 국가보안법’은 앞으로 역사에 독재의 수법이자 악법으로 기록될 것입니다.

5/ Today’s rally is the prelude to a larger scale of protest before the announcement of evil law. It's time for HKers to fight back & safeguard HK. I call upon the world to #StandwithHK & oppose #nationalsecuritylaw which poses a threat to all ex-pats & travellers in global city.

4/ Not to mention that expats will also suffer, especially when #China is carrying out #WolfWarrior diplomacy worldwide. 2 Canadians became victims of hostage diplomacy as retaliation against the arrest of #Huawei's Meng. Foreign reporters were denied entry for political reasons.

3/ The proposed national security agency is like the #secretpolice branch in HK. The biggest concern is arbitrary & political interpretation of the law, When using the law in China, lawyers, reporters, NGOs, religious groups were accused of “inciting subversion”.

1542
2/ It's fiercely imposed by Beijing upon the will of #HKers, without legislative scrutiny. Even tens of thousands of #HKers showed their outcry against draconian law, #hkpolice crushed dissents with armed vehicles, water cannons, teargas & pepper balls but #YouCantStopUs!

We must stand up and fight back. More than thousands of HKers take back to the street again, including @SunnyCheungky, #JannelleLeung, #TiffanyYuen and I. Time is running out in Hong Kong. We need to try our best to oppose the evil national security law.
