[#HKgov told right lawyers: #Hkpolice's shooting in #Hkprotesters’ chest is “reasonable”]
1. On Oct 1 last year, an 18yo student was shot in his chest by live bullet fired at point-blank range, 3cm from his heart with bullet fragments scattering around his ribs, lung and chest.

2. But when he sued for injury compensation, #HK legal aid dept, not only unreasonably rejected his request but also prejudicially supported #HKpolicebrutality, saying "the use of force by the Police at the material time was reasonable" before trials and rulings even begin.

3. Legal Aid Dept is heavily blasted for its tightening scrutiny on legal aid applications, esp for cases related to gov misconducts. But it is the first time for the dept to make such an irresponsible judgment before trials. Plaintiff doesn't even know the date of hearing yet.

4. Clearly, it is another assault on #HK's rule of law and judicial independence & also casts doubt on whether presumption of innocence still holds under # Beijing's sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, where citizens/foreigners can be extradited to #China's secret courts and jails.

[Has #HK become a #secretpolicestate?]
1. More #hongkongers are tailed by unknown agents in recent days. Today pro-democracy lawmaker @tedhuichifung said he has been followed by unknown cars for a few days, with cameras and video recorders inside.

2. But when Ted tried to ask the drivers to identify themselves, #hkpolice came, slammed Ted to the ground and cleared the path for the secret agents to leave.

3. Under #nationalsecuritylaw, it is dubious if our privacy and safety are still under protection when more evidence suggests #HK comes closer to a #secretpolicestate where citizens and foreigners can be maliciously followed by unknown agents.

[Forces can’t take away our future]
1. Two days ahead of another rally on Aug 16, it is horrifying to know Thai #police just forcibly arrested student leader Parit Chiwarak @paritchi & bundled him into a car, to crush our Thai fellows’ call for changes.

2. When our next generations fight with sweat and tear for a better future where people can live with dignity, justice and liberty, there's nothing more ridiculous for the dark power of tyranny to turn the clock back with suppression and draconian laws. bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

3. Force & fear won’t kill our spirit of resistance, and can never take away our future & imprison our soul. As situation in #Thailand turns critical, I hope all freedom-loving ppl can #StandWithThailand & #SaveParit.

[In the face of tyranny, #Hongkongers stand with the oppressed #Belarusian]
1. Although #police unreasonably fired rubber bullets and tear gas at protesters last week, tens of thousands of #Belarusian still took to streets and voiced their anger on #policebrutality.

2. From them, we can see the people’s courage, robust bonding with each other and their resolute determination for justice and democracy. These are what autocratic regimes cannot crush. These are what dictators fear most. twitter.com/KonigMargaret/…

4. Facing the shared destiny under tyrannical rules, we are all the oppressed. #Hongkongers can feel #Belarusians’ pain and sense of injustice, and therefore #HKers will #StandwithBelarus in their fight for democracy.

3. When scrolling through their biggest telegram channel, NEXTA Live, time and again I am impressed by #Belarusians’ creativity and vibrancy, when people generously provide shelters and donate medical resources.

Here is the summons to defendant that I received by DPC 14223 of Hong Kong Police Force recently. The government prosecuted me with the charges of participating unauthorized assembly. The court hearing take place on 15 September 2:30pm at West Kowloon Magistrates Courts.

I will continue to fight until the last minute since that’s no reason for us to give up, and in such an uphill battle we will continue to stand with fellow HK protestors. I have no hope towards the government, but I have hope towards the people. twitter.com/AdityaNSharma/…

2/ Before she is arrested, she said she had been tailed by unknown personnel for days. I fear that other dissenting voices will also face this kind of surveillance, harassment and persecution. It is indeed frightening.

@joshuawongcf
3/ What we are facing is the strongest dictatorship in our times, it seems impossible to fight back. Yet, in the face of this dark time of censorship, our resistance is unflagging. In history we have seen, democracy and freedom always prevails. Hongkongers will fight on.
