[#AntiELAB Movement vs #UmbrellaMovement: are #HKers walking on the old path?] 1.1/ #HK's protests have indeed reduced due to the #COVID19 and the #NationalSecurityLaw. #HKGov mass arrests protestors, and crackdown on the education, mass media, medical and judicial industries.

[Court rejects Joshua Wong bid over disqualification] 1/ As the only candidate being censored out from ballot in the 2019 District council election. I applied for Judicial review and to appeal how do returning officers just have abuse of power.
1816
2/ Unfortunately the judge of high court claim that it could not be discussed or go through the process of judicial review. However, the civil servant, just act as the Beijing loyalist, just follow command of Beijing. news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compon…

3/ Even they violate the constitution of Hong Kong. It should be discussed in the court via judicial review procedure. And not being narrowly handled within the election petition procedure. scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

4/ But no matter what happened, I wish the world could know that how the judicial system right now under the cracked down of Beijing and how activists in Hong Kong will face more and more difficulties to continue our resistance inside the institution. reuters.com/article/uk-hon…

#BREAKING Joshua is arrested when reporting to Central Police Station at about 1pm today. The arrest is related to participating in an unauthorized assembly on 5Oct last year. He is told to have violated the draconian anti-mask law as well.

Nothing to celebrate on bizarrely prompt release. Case will be mentioned Eastern Magistrates Court on 30 Sep 2:30pm, the day before China’s decision to approve the arrest of #12youths activists and its national day. @save12hkyouths #StandwithHK #Save12HKyouths

Facing max. The penalty of 5yrs in jail for unauthorized assembly and 1yr for wearing a mask, I'm not deterred whenever I think of fellow protestors who are struggling in detention in HK or in Mainland China.

Today’s arrest is a notorious abuse to the criminal justice system by placing charges ruled unconstitutional earlier. However, I choose not to surrender.

[Phone repair specialist arrested for possessing client's phone] 1. Upon release, I'd like to take opportunity to call attention to other unreasonable arrests. A phone repair shop owner was arrested in Sep for possessing clients' phones #NationalSecurityBureau claim suspicious.

2. Utterly unacceptable that he has been detained for weeks, although those phones don't even belong to him. His bid for bail was repeatedly denied. Before his arrest, he was reportedly harassed by cops after refusing service to #HKpolice to show support against #policebrutality.
