.@demosisto has bought 1.2 millions masks from Honduras, saying they targeted countries which did not trade much with China. Joshua has accused the government of not doing its job properly to overcome obstacles when buying surgical masks. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

We call on the French government to call a halt to its export of tactical suits to our notorious #HKGov. We also invite the world to join our petition before April.
1957
We believe the best way to protect autonomy is not strengthening #HKGov's repressive forces against the public call for freedom protections. Without dissident voices, the city's autonomy is the next to be blown away.
1958
Any gears supplied to #hongkongpolice will merely turn them into weapons against democracy fighters in HK. Just as G7 leaders supported HK's autonomy last year, some values are more important than dollar signs, and that is Liberty that #hongkongers want to fight for.
1959
Over the past 8 months, #HKPolice has completely ignored guidelines & excessively used forces on citizens. Our elderly was teargassed, first-aiders were shot blind, young generations were trampled by police on their heads, foreign companies' employees were unlawfully arrested.
1960
Less than 2 weeks, our petition against France's sale of tactical suits to #HKPolice has broken 100000 signatories. It shows the world has sided with #HKers' strong appeal to suspend any support to #policebrutality. Our urge is strong & irresistible! chng.it/RQ9DLR4tcT

WHO Needs to Quit Being Polite With China!
The coronavirus poses a global health risk that’s more important than appeasing a major donor to the agency.

There is “a new cold war … brewing between China and the rest of the democratic world, and Hong Kong is holding the line in one of its first battles”.

The Chinese government have reneged on the promises made to protect and enhance their rights and freedoms. It is time the UK government reopens the BNO Passport scheme and extend it to give the people of HK the right to live in the UK. libdems.org.uk/hong-kong

7/ With limited weapons, the whole city is now forced to fight a risky war on #coronavirus with our hands tied.
1969
4/ As #HKGov refuses to seal the border, the burden now shifts to shop holders. Once customers are found inflected, stores are forced to close for weeks. Restaurant owners complained that they face the twin blows to their income and reputation.
1970
6/ Worse still, their inflection or deaths won’t be coved by insurance if they use any donated or self-prepared masks.
Therefore, the demand for border shutdown is not a question of us & them, but a matter of life & death.
1971
5/ More importantly, we have to face the fact that our limited mask stocks can’t support an endless battle. Masks for medics can only last for 1 month, while some only have 5-day stocks. Though working in a highly contagious environment, each nurse can only use 2 masks a day.

[No one can fight an endless war with limited weapons]
1/ Unfortunately, this piece appeals to identity politics & loses touch with reality in #HK, especially #HKGov's messy mishandling over the past few weeks. It's #quarantine rule is entirely toothless. time.com/5784258/hong-k…

3/ All these mean the concern over community spread is real. And concerns grow when our adjacent province, Guangdong, is now the second hardest-hit after Hubei. Don’t forget, over 80 cities in #China have already been sealed to stop the virus spread.
