[First day of national security law: #HKers will not surrender]
1/ When #Beijing has defied social oppositions and enacted the sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw in #HK, The UK government has offered an important lifeboat by opening path to citizenship for #HKers.
1004
@joshuawongcf
2/ However, leaving the place where we grow up is just the last resort. More HKers pledge to continue our fight for liberty and democracy. Therefore, even for the first day that the national security law came into effect, hundred thousands protesters took to the street.
1005
@joshuawongcf
3/ Under the new law, Hongkongers are prone to no public trials, no bail, no jury trial, no rights to silence or even extradition to China’s courts. Judges involving in those cases have to be first screened by Beijing.

4/ While the Beijing-appointed city leader has powers to determine what behaviour or information should be viewed as imperilling national security without courts’ scrutiny. Over 300 protesters were arrested yesterday with 10 of them charged with a breach of the new law.

6/ As even ex-pats and foreign companies in HK may fall prey to the new law, the world needs to reconsider the human rights situations of the city. The draconian law can't kill our spirit of resistance!

#hkpolice said these two stickers violate #NationalSecurityLaw, with #Hongkongers arrested: one with word "Conscience" and another one citing "But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream (Amos 5:24). No effect on civil liberties? No speech crime?

Only on July 1st, the #HongKong police conducted more than 370 arrests.
It's time to fight back.

1/ Hanging a Sword of Damocles over civil society, the law criminalizes all international advocacy, criticisms on the Beijing and Hong Kong governments, and all oppositions to controversial legislations in the future.
1012
@joshuawongcf
3/ Since China’s red lines were freshly imposed upon the city overnight, it still needs more time to figure it out. However, beyond any doubts, Hongkongers will continue our fight and never surrender, just as tens of thousands of the city’s demonstrators showed yesterday.
1013
@joshuawongcf
2/ Even for street activism, those who chanted “Long Live Liverpool” were framed as inciting Hong Kong independence, while others that put “FreeHK” and “Conscience” stickers on phones were arrested for “inciting subversion” during yesterday’s demonstration.
1014
@joshuawongcf
6/ What we strive to work on now is that if our voice cannot be heard soon, we still hope that the world could speak louder and to defend democracy with more concrete and forceful efforts.
1015
@joshuawongcf
5/ My friend @nathanlawkc had attended the hearing of the US Congress's Foreign Affairs Committee to call attention to the erosion of liberty and threats under the new law. By whatever means possible, Hongkongers will carry on our fight.

Tam Yiu-chung, #HK's sole delegate to #Beijing's top legislature NPCSC, said media coverage on #hkpolicebrutality can be charged for "inciting subversion of state power" under #NationalSecurityLaw. Now the red line has been once again tightened. What's next?

@joshuawongcf
1/ The new national security law covers not only Hong Kong citizens but also foreign citizens. Given its loosely defined terms, the law is prone to misuse or political manipulation.

4/ Although our voices may soon no longer be heard, we hope the world will speak louder and defend democracy with more forceful efforts.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Beijing tries to silence dissidents with fear, but fear will not kill our spirit of resistance and determination for democracy. Despite the higher cost of expressing open dissent, tens of thousands of HKers took to the streets, vowing to continue our fight and never surrender.

@joshuawongcf
Arrested at July 1 protest, this 23yo first motorcyclist/ first-aider with a #LiberateHongKong flag became the first person in #Hongkong charged for “inciting sedition and terrorism” under #nationalsecuritylaw. He will appear in West Kowloon Court today.

1/ I believe Nathan's decision to leave is to achieve more for Hong Kong's liberty, as his statement says. Under the current National Security Law, those involved in international advocacy and calling for global awareness on the city's liberty are in risk. twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

@joshuawongcf
3/ HK is the irreplaceable homeland for me and millions of freedom-loving HKers. With tears, blood and sweat, we have been fighting hard to safeguard the city's vanishing autonomy and freedoms over the past a year. In the future, we will continue our fight and never surrender.
1025
@joshuawongcf
2/ We can be prosecuted for colluding with foreign forces, extradited to China's courts and thrown into jails for life sentences. To continue raising our voices to the world, I think Nathan has made a difficult decision.
