"We call upon ICAO to reverse its practice of blocking discussion of #Taiwan on Twitter & make clear publicly its understanding that freedom of expression must always supersede political insecurities of member states"
@icao, did you read this yet?

[The outbreak has been more than just #WuhanVirus spread]
1/ By covering up the severity of pandemic with force & fear, #China has turned whole crisis into the Chernobyl disaster of the 21st century. China's still clamping down on #coronavirus coverage as cases surge day by day.
183
@joshuawongcf
3/ Under the surface, we see the powerlessness of power. Burnished by the personality cult, this rigid regime rules the people with fear and distrust. #Beijing's iron-fist control on citizenry also makes it unresponsive to social grievance.

4/ Just hours ago, Dr. #LiWenliang, one of the 8 disciplined whistleblowers died. When truth-tellers are accused of “spreading rumours and severely disturbing social order”, this authoritarian regime is doomed to fail.

@joshuawongcf
5/ I think it is time for #CCP to wake up from its dream and face the damages they have done to the civil society and democratic aspirations on its territory.

As the Coronavirus became a worldwide health emergency, it frightens almost everyone in the world.
1/ The disease itself is terrifying, but what is more terrifying is the panic caused by misinformation, false rumours and bias.
188
@joshuawongcf
14/ It's of vital importance that we acknowledge coronavirus is not an excuse for xenophobia & definitely not a substantial excuse to attack anyone. The most frightening part of current epidemic is not virus itself, but the fear & hatred that is caused by false rumours & biases.
189
@joshuawongcf
15/ We are in a global health emergency, but spreading hatred would not help but create more problems. If you are really afraid of being infected, wearing a mask and improving personal hygiene would be more helpful than attacking anyone.

#Hongkong’s new #quarantine rules are entirely toothless! New measures rely heavily on the self-discipline of the targeted people? #WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak
1/ Even though the rule has been put in place today, there is no staff informing newcomers about the new measure.
191
@joshuawongcf
2/ Even though #HKgov claims that 14days quarantine is mandatory, new arrivers are told that they can “go out” during the quarantine periods so long as they wear masks. It puts into doubt the effectiveness of quarantine policy as it means #coronavirus can spread in communities.
192
@joshuawongcf
3/ Although #HKgov warns to impose imprisonment and fines on violators, such punitive measures are only supported by daily phone calls and random checks. Even if quarantined people violate the rules, they will be only warned verbally.
193
@joshuawongcf
5/ With tens of thousands of travellers crossing the border every day, it is expected that such weak quarantine policy cannot fend off the #coronavirus spread. Without a full border seal with #China, #Hongkong is doomed to be sealed by the world.
194
@joshuawongcf
4/ Even civil servants slam the new order as ineffective, not to mention that many arrivers frankly told reporters today that they will not follow the rules.

As much as HK needs the international community, the international community needs HK. Joshua says that HK’s fight against the CCP is an “infinity war”.

2/ In July 2019, the @Europarl_EN passed a resolution on the situation in HK & called for the EU, its Member States & international community to impose "appropriate export control mechanisms to deny China, & in particular, HK, access to technologies used to violate basic rights."

@joshuawongcf
1/ Hong Kong police force has just announced to import 3,932 sets of tactical suits from a French company #Protecop. With its headquarters in Paris, Protecop is a defence manufacturer, who provides tailor-made protective equipment for police officers worldwide.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Countless reports show HK police used excessive force during over the past seven months when suppressing protests in HK. According to @amnesty, police deployed reckless & indiscriminate violence against protesters with arbitrary arrests, brutal beatings, torture in detention.
