4/ Joshua Wong says he expects to be arrested at any time and fears disappearing into a secret jail across the border in mainland China. "My arrest seems to be a matter of timing. Time is running out on my personal safety."

While ppl worldwide living under growing authoritarian influence, I just wrote my first @LetterWiki letter to @DJtotheS w/ thoughts on how HKers respond w/ hope through persistent resistance while #China rules the city with fear under #nationalsecuritylaw

5/ Maybe this happens all the time in Mainland China, but HK is supposed to be different. After all, the national security law still hasn’t been passed. So why are activists & councillors being monitored every single day?

3. Legal Aid Dept is heavily blasted for its tightening scrutiny on legal aid applications, esp for cases related to gov misconducts. But it is the first time for the dept to make such an irresponsible judgment before trials. Plaintiff doesn't even know the date of hearing yet.

After hearing Jack Ma’s speech at the Shanghai Bund Financial Forum, Xi ordered the suspension of Ant Group’s fund-raising plan of more than $US34 billion. It proved how Beijing shows no respect on economic freedom and market mechanism with abuse of power. wsj.com/amp/articles/c…

Joshua called HK the “new Berlin in a new cold war”. The city was then akin to West Berlin. Over the past year, China has turned it into something closer to East Berlin.

1/ ‘’If we are in the new Cold War, HK is the new Berlin.’’ -- for we are now standing between the free world and the dictatorship of China. I’m not an expert in academic but perhaps the historical context would help us shed light on many similarities.

2. 저는 이것에 대해 진심으로 감사를 표하고 싶습니다. 하지만 국가보안법이 통과되고 중국의 인민해방군이 ‘참수’라는 저격훈련을 공개한 상황 속에서 홍콩의 민주항쟁에 뛰어드는 것이 생명의 안전을 걱정해야 하는 일이 된 것은 더 이상 터무니없는 이야기가 아니게 되었습니다.

5/ That is also the key element to maintain the autonomy and freedoms under 1country2systems, as well as the indispensable measure to safeguard foreign interests in HK. I call on the Italian Parliament to take action to pass the resolution to support democratic aspirations in HK.

3.4/ Hongkongers have carried out a large-scale demonstration once in 2003 to block the first introduction of national security legislation. Now Beijing's move is actually ramming this most controversial and unpopular law down HKer's throat without any legislative scrutiny.

6/ On Fri’s meeting, I call upon the #EU foreign ministers to have a firmer stance on the issue & to urge China to halt #nationalsecuritylegislation. I urge the #EU to impose all necessary sanctions if China insists on breaking an UN-filed treaty & finally passes this evil bill.

4/ In the police station, it’s like hell! #hongkongprotesters were severely beaten with heads covered with blood. Even though they have already lost consciousness, #police kept torturing them by beating their faces with batons and dragging them on the floor.

4. If leaving aside all other national security charges and just solely considering the charge of "crossing national border without immigration procedures", the 12 #asylumseekers may face a maximum penalty of one year in #China's prison.

4/ There is no way for Beijing to turn deaf ear to our demands. I hope the Italian government and society can stand with HK in our fight for freedoms. The incident also shows that democracy is the best solution to enhance HK’s autonomy and defend against China’s interference.

Long lines across #HongKong due to a severe mask shortage. We are terrified as the coronavirus spreads. But the Carrie Lam administration withholds its stockpile from the public and still refuses to close the border. Have they learned anything since 2003? #有沒有口罩一個給我 😷😷 t.co/f9yZJtkYhL

5/ For a long time, HK has been treated by Beijing as a white glove port for importing sensitive strategic commodities. Once the law is implemented, a #secretpolice agency and a #CCP-led China’s court will be imposed upon this global business centre.
