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.

When 200,000 #Belarusians staged the biggest march against dictator #Lukashenko, #China’s media, Dragon TV, spread fake news by claiming those ralliers were pro-Lukashenko, though they held white-red protest flags & placards w/ slogan “A killer can't be a president” in Belarusian

Psalm 23: A psalm of David.
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

[I was tailed by #secretpolice agents again. This time crazier]
1/ Even after #HK’s election was cancelled, #secretpolice stalking has intensified. Today when I met with friends in one building, several unknown agents have lingered outside......

This is amazing. Time and again, we see how people fighting oppression in Hong Kong continue to stand with people fighting oppression in the United States. #BlackLivesMatter twitter.com/austinramzy/st…

Two weeks on with no further updates about their situations, it seems they've been thrown into a black hole of indefinite detention...

[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.

The brave Iranians took to street to demand freedom one year ago while the regime responded with bullet & baton, killing over 1500 people. #Nov2019Massacre will never be forgotten. As freedom loving people, we will stand with Iranians. #فریاد_آبان

1/ #hkpolicebrutality is one of the key factors fueling #HKProtests since last year. The unchecked & indiscriminate use of excessive forces against innocent citizens, pregnant women, underaged kids, unarmed elderly and even medics & journalists sparked anger & sense of injustice.

Beijing continues to blame Hong Kongers for the political instability and economic damage. But China’s unrelenting assault on Hong Kong’s freedom and legal autonomy guarantees that the resistance will continue. wsj.com/articles/more-…

This is the letter that I received when I was in prison during 2017. It’s written by a little girl with the quote from Angela Markel: “Nether the chains of dictatorship nor the fetters of oppression can keep down the forces of freedom for long.”

1. Today is the last day for our pro-democracy primaries. Over 230,000 #HKers have already cast their votes yesterday, well exceeding the original target turnout. With this significant turnout, I am really proud of everyone who has queued and waited in the summer heat.

Many of you have asked me about the ongoing U.S. protests. As a human-rights activist, I stand firmly on the side of the #BlackLivesMatter movement and oppose police brutality, wherever it may be.

1/ Among many differences in ideals and tactics between us, Tony has been through similar state-driven harassment and attacks as I had in previous months. Today he carries four charges, including #secession under #NSL, publishing seditious material and 2 money-laundering offences
