In a city with merely 7 million people, nearly 10000 are under arrest, mostly under age 18. When the youngest one is only 11, what msg is Beijing sending to our next generations?

For the past year I've closely followed @PeteButtigieg's historic presidential campaign after @jeffreychngo told me about him. This thread documents his support for #HongKong at every turn. He also cares deeply about #Xinjiang and #Taiwan. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

China is the most powerful autocratic regime. Our struggle has become your struggle, whether you like it or not. I call the Hong Kongers’ fight “an infinity war” which “I am afraid, may be coming soon to a political theatre near you.” areomagazine.com/2020/02/19/big…

I went to #MartinLee’s legal firm to give him a copy of my new book #UnfreeSpeech. My warmest thanks go to Martin, the Father of Democracy in HK, who taught me everything I know in international advocacy and continues to guide me to this day. hyperurl.co/unfreespeech

When I had a chance to interview Joshua after watching the film, I wanted to ask a silly question: Who is your favorite superhero? “Spider-Man,” he tell me. His favorite quote? “With great power comes great responsibility.”

It's an adage that he admits pushes him to fight the good fight for democracy in his homeland. The documentary almost plays out like the origin story of a superhero movie; it’s the scrawny teenager versus the unflinching, shadowy government.

1/ Six months after the passing of #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct, #US @StateDept will deliver its first annual certification of Hong Kong’s autonomy as specified in the Act. The Act is designed to safeguard #HK’s autonomy and freedoms from #China’s growing influence.
290
@joshuawongcf
3/ Clearly, #China plans another bloody crackdown upon pro-democracy #hongkongprotests. Not to mention that #China is imposing a new sinofication on the city and turning #Hongkong into another Mainland city.
291
@joshuawongcf
4/ Credit rating companies have warned about the erosion of #HK's of political and economic independence in recent years. Only by human rights sanctions, we can counter China’s erosion of the city’s freedoms and foreign business interests on this island.
292
@joshuawongcf
5/ I call upon the US Department of State to include effective implementation of sanction measures in the forthcoming report on Hong Kong’s autonomy, as a way to send a warning signal to #Beijing not to infringe upon autonomy and basic freedoms of Hong Kong any more.

è una pandemia devastante, ed è nata in Cina, a Wuhan, è bene non scordarlo. Pechino e il governo di Carrie Lam hanno avuto una gestione disastrosa della crisi, ma non fermiamo le proteste. Italia, ti siamo vicini formiche.net/2020/03/corona…

[#HKpolice, the Ministry of Truth of 21st century’s #HongKong]
1/ For the first time, #HKPolice attended #UN Human Rights Commission recently after civilians, journalists, elderly, pregnant women & #HKProtesters were forcibly & unreasonably shot, beaten & tortured by them.
296
@joshuawongcf
3/ Leaked police manuals have already shown police’s excessive & disproportional use of forces against unarmed civilians. #Policebrutality was also well caught by international media & slammed by human rights groups. But #HKPolice just arrogantly dismissed them as liars & fools.
297
@joshuawongcf
4/ Over 9 months since the outbreak, zero police officer has been charged for his misconduct. They now claimed all these apparent violations of interactions and excessive use of forces is “lawful and reasonable.”

The first annual certification of HK’s autonomy under #HKHumanRightsandDemocracyAct is imminent. @demosisto, @Stand_with_HK, @HKHIIAD, @SunnyCheungky have jointly initiated an open letter addressing to @SecPompeo. We welcome everyone to co-sign it: bit.ly/LettertoSecret…

@joshuawongcf
2/ To demonstrate a deterrent effect for further erosion of human rights in HK, formal investigations should be launched by USGov to identify and consider sanctioning HKGov officials who are directly responsible for extensive police brutality that grossly violated human rights.
