[My oped in @washingtonpost: China is targeting and arresting HK dissidents. I could be next.
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…]
1/ To many dissidents in HK, one of the immediate effects of the new national security law is being forced to accept hostile strangers walking into our lives.

11/ In recent weeks #HKers have regained momentum & #policebrutality persists, with 13yo student reporter arrested & kid dragged on the ground by #hkpolice. As our autonomy & freedoms are once again in peril, I call upon the world to keep an eye on #HK’s situation & #standwithhk.

This keeps happening over and over again. I said it about @Disney before and I'll say it again now: Western corporations bending over backwards to please #China alienates their domestic market and risks getting thrown under the bus. #Mulan should be the biggest wake-up call. twitter.com/StuartKLau/sta…

4. However, even when #Beijing attempts to rule the city with Orwellian thoughtcrimes, #Hongkongers will not surrender. Now it is not just our cause for democracy and liberty, but also a battle between truth and lies.

1/ By changing the wording of the offence, Beijing clearly plans to target human rights bodies or activist groups like us, which have been submitting reports on human rights backlashes to international bodies, testifying against police brutality & authoritarian rules on hearings.

When #China fails to silence #HK's dissents with fear, it appeals to force. Pro-#Beijing thugs disturbed one of our booths this evening when we urged more #HKers to vote. Also, helpers of other democratic parties were reportedly assaulted by Beijing supporters. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

I am shocked to learn that HKGov has evidently colluded with Beijing to put us in greater danger, on matters clearly within its jurisdiction. Perhaps we have too little imagined the determination of Beijing to crush One Country, Two Systems. Full: patreon.com/posts/42651539

Here is the report from #Appledaily. The only printed newspaper that uphold freedom and liberal value in HK under tramendous threat from Beijing. Thank you for the explaination and care from @JimmyLaiApple. We must stand up and fight back with solidarity and unity! t.co/2gEQjjLW6s

This seems very deliberate in doing exactly what Article 23 would do, but at a much quicker pace. It also will save the LegCo from another prolonged standoff, so that body, of which the pro-establishment camp recently regained control, can focus on the national-anthem bill.

🇰🇷 한국 더불어민주당 박용진 의원님께서 최근 한 언론과의 인터뷰를 통해서 홍콩과의 연대의 뜻을 밝혀주셨습니다. 한국 민주화를 직접 참여하셨던 박용진 의원님께서 연대해주셔서 더 큰 의미가 있습니다. 한국 민주화 역사는 홍콩 민주화운동의 원동력입니다. 다시한번 감사드립니다.

[#HKers calling on #Cellebrite to halt selling phone hacking technologies to #Belarus] #standwithbelarus
1/ Phone hacking tech is one of the weapons abused by authoritarian regimes to stamp out dissidents, in particular, crackdowns on leaderless movements in both Belarus and HK.

Liu isn't a victim somehow caught in the geopolitical crossfire. Neither is she an icon of feminism if she ignores the suffering of female protesters. She's instead an icon of authoritarianism willfully betraying the values Hollywood purports to champion. twitter.com/jeffreychngo/s…

[Three questions I would like to answer after being DQ]
1) Since the system is already skewed toward Pro-Beijing camp, why do you think wide-scale DQ is happening?
2) Do you think it disenfranchises voters?
3) Should voters participate if it's not fair?

10/ The hardline suppression merely future protests inevitable, especially when #Beijing is now paving the way to disqualify more candidates in the forthcoming legislative elections on the upcoming summer. Also, more kids might be jailed under the sugar-coated legal system......

2/ On the contrary, the pro-#China supporter was praised for his noble sentiment & sentenced to shorter periods of imprisonment, after he stabbed innocent reporters & #HKers with cleaver & knife at #Lennonwall, leaving victims broken bones, collapsed lung & post-traumatic stress.
