5/ Beijing directly appointed members and held meetings in Shenzhen. Therefore, history may repeat. However, Hongkongers will still strive for a parliamentary majority since Beijing has already put its most controversial agenda, the national security legislation, on the table.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Otherwise, councillors fail to "show their allegiance to the central governments” and "serve dutifully” as the oath states. In other words, HKMAO is paving the way for a large-scaled disqualification before and after the election.

2/ The office unprecedentedly accused pro-democracy lawmakers of violating LegCo oaths when they use procedural tactics to block the controversial national anthem and national security legislation. In the eyes of Beijing, LegCo can only serve as a rubber stamp.
1604
@joshuawongcf
[How do you envisage the legislative elections in Sep?]
1/ A worse scenario will be like: Beijing will dissolve the existing LegCo & disqualify all 70 lawmakers once pro-democracy camps win the majority. One of the references is recent statement by China’s office on HK Affairs.

'5·18 광주'서 미래 찾는 홍콩인들
[CBS노컷뉴스 송정훈 기자] "어떤 이는 오늘의 홍콩이 40년 전 광주와 같다고 합니다. 저는 이 말에 동의합니다. 현재 한국 국민들은 직접 대통령을 뽑을 수 있고, 민주적인 정치 제도가 있습니다. 저는 한국 국민

2/ 많은 이들이 이 자랑스러운 민주화의 역사를 잊지 않기를 바랍니다. 지난 시간 민주화를 이루어낸 한국 국민들이 홍콩 민주화운동을 지지해 주셔서 감사드립니다. 어제의 ‘광주’가 오늘의 ‘홍콩’이 되었습니다. 80년 오월 광주처럼, 우리는 끝까지 싸울 것입니다. 앞서서 가나니, 산자여 따르라.

1/ 오늘은 5·18 광주민주화운동 40주년이 되는 날입니다.
40년 전, 민주화를 요구했던 수많은 광주 시민들이 독재세력으로 인해 희생된 그날입니다. 40년이 지난 ‘5월18일’ 이날은 민주와 인권을 향한 위대한 민주화운동의 역사로 인류 역사에 남아졌습니다.

4/ I also encourage the world to #TweetforTaiwan. #COVID19 is the biggest challenge of the century. It is a matter concerning the health of the world, so we hope all member states will make a decision with wisdom and courage. #WHACountdown

@joshuawongcf
2/ #Taiwan’s participation is critical, especially after #China’s medical advisor Zhong Nanshan has just warned of #secondwave of infections. Taiwan exclusion from WHA will only have deadly implications & risk #HealthForAll, by blocking Taiwan’s valuable experiences & expertise.
1611
@joshuawongcf
1/ Over the past few months, #Taiwan has proved the success of #TaiwanModel, with science-driven policy-making, transparency and state collaboration with the whole civil society. Experts worldwide praised Taiwan for setting a great example and proving #TaiwanCanHelp.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Political discontents can only be settled with the courage to admit the deep-rooted problems, instead of denials and coverups. Hence, I welcome Professor @cliffordstott’s decision to work on a genuinely scientific report to shed light on #hkpolicebrutality.
1613
@joshuawongcf
2/ That's why Police watchdog IPCC is merely a whitewashing & propaganda to justify the future bloody crackdowns on protest. When police violence has becomes the elephant in the room, what #HKGov do is to act like a #MinistryOfTruth to ignore all these widespread atrocities.
1614
@joshuawongcf
1/ #hkpolicebrutality is one of the key factors fueling #HKProtests since last year. The unchecked & indiscriminate use of excessive forces against innocent citizens, pregnant women, underaged kids, unarmed elderly and even medics & journalists sparked anger & sense of injustice.

[THEY CAN LOCK UP MY BODY, BUT THEY CAN'T LOCK UP MY MIND!]
In today's (16 May) last year, I was jailed because of the Umbrella Movement. I could not imagine more than 2 million HKers could take to the street during my jail terms to against the controversial extradition bill.

A family member cries and bid farewell to a prison van after an anti-government protester Sin Ka-ho has been sentenced four years for rioting, in Hong Kong......uk.reuters.com/article/uk-hon…

@joshuawongcf
11/ In recent weeks #HKers have regained momentum & #policebrutality persists, with 13yo student reporter arrested & kid dragged on the ground by #hkpolice. As our autonomy & freedoms are once again in peril, I call upon the world to keep an eye on #HK’s situation & #standwithhk.
1621
@joshuawongcf
10/ The hardline suppression merely future protests inevitable, especially when #Beijing is now paving the way to disqualify more candidates in the forthcoming legislative elections on the upcoming summer. Also, more kids might be jailed under the sugar-coated legal system......
1622
@joshuawongcf
8/ Clearly, in the absence of effective checks and balances mechanism, #hkgov and #hkpolice are ready to step up its political prosecution and clamp down upon democratic movements with “rioting” charge. Up to now, 8337 #hongkongers were arrested and 595 ppl charged with rioting.
1623
@joshuawongcf
9/ When more people who defend against an evil law fall behind bars, it only reveals the injustice of the system. June 12 of 2019 was the time when #HKers came up with our 5 demands & urged for a more accountable & democratic gov, and an independent probe into police atrocities.
1624
@joshuawongcf
7/ However, in this 1011-page whitewash report, police watchdog just completely ignored all undeniable facts concerning #policebrutality & claims there is "no evidence of collusion”. In fact, oversea experts had warned of the watchdog’s independence by resigning from the panel.
