[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.

1/ Survived hearing today and need not face detention for now. Yet again travel ban imposed, an attempt to restrict efforts to activism. Thanks to the court I’m forced to continue activism more resiliently in 2020, leading to the shift of vibrant online activism during pandemic.

[Cancelling separation of powers in #HK]
1. #Carrielam claimed today there's no separation of powers in HK after #HKGov’s recent textbook censorship. Even the next Chief Justice that she appointed, Andrew Cheung, said in 2008 that separation of powers is enshrined in Basic Law.

Last year I asked you all to add a 😷 emoji to your Twitter name in support of the #HongKong protests after the government outlawed masks. This ban has since been reversed by the court but we now wear them for a different reason: the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak 😷😷😷😷😷😷

[World Health Organization is one of the culprits in this global pandemic.]
1/ Under @DrTedros, WHO missed the best opportunity to stop the Coronavirus. When the coronavirus first broke out in Wuhan, WHO simply adopted one-sided account given by the Chinese Communist Party.

1/ Mark Zuckerberg said that he hopes Facebook will "find a way" to keep offering its services in HK after @SecPompeo declared that HK was "no longer autonomous" from China. It implied the risk of great firewall adopts from Mainland China to HK.

Joshua Wong and several other pro-democracy politicians claimed that they have recently been followed by suspicious figures believed to be China’s security agents, ahead of the enactment of new national security law imposed by Beijing.

2/ 많은 이들이 이 자랑스러운 민주화의 역사를 잊지 않기를 바랍니다. 지난 시간 민주화를 이루어낸 한국 국민들이 홍콩 민주화운동을 지지해 주셔서 감사드립니다. 어제의 ‘광주’가 오늘의 ‘홍콩’이 되었습니다. 80년 오월 광주처럼, 우리는 끝까지 싸울 것입니다. 앞서서 가나니, 산자여 따르라.

Hey Wumao trolls: Don't forget to toe the government's line! Your latest correct position is…… to join us and #BoycottMulan 😂😂
Quick recap of why:
• It was filmed in XJ
• Liu Yifei backs the HK police
• Donnie Yen wears a blackface
• US$30 for a bad remake

3. Despite 610,000+ #Hongkongers voting in #HK’s primary, #Beijing now staged the biggest-ever crackdowns on the city’s election, by disqualifying nearly all pro-democracy runners, from young progressive groups to traditional moderate parties.

As the Coronavirus became a worldwide health emergency, it frightens almost everyone in the world.

【NATIONAL SECURITY LAW LEGISLATION】
The legislation is effectively a done deal and expected to be passed on before June 30, on eve of city’s handover anniversary. Full draft of the law would not be made public until after passage to reduce the dissenting voices.

Amazing. 1.28 million people have now voted, just after noon. In the last District Council election four years ago, this number was not reached until 9:30 in the evening. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

When China’s leaders finally declare victory against the current outbreak, they will undoubtedly credit the CCP’s leadership. But the truth is just the opposite: The party is again responsible for this calamity.

1/ It will be unbelievably scandalous if it is really the case that the First Minister and deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland have said that they "understand and respect" Beijing's human rights abuses under its sweeping national security law.
