3/ When laws are used as a repressive judicial tool against the people, youths are forced to abandon dreams but to live with these: daily harassment, arbitrary arrests, multiple charges, remanded in jail as if eyes and ears of authorities everywhere, in a place called #HongKong.

4/ When China has been stepping up its influence in Asia, the threat is now on our doorstep. Therefore, I hope all Asian societies can build pan-Asian solidarity to fend off all forms of authoritarianism from China, with our creativity and fondness for liberty.

3/ Joshua Wong told Reuters he was subjected to demeaning treatment in prison, such as being made to squat naked while being questioned by guards in an area of the prison with no CCTV.

Although some pessimists may call it a ‘bottleneck', we are still finding novel ideas and ways to continue the momentum.

Activist Joshua Wong accused Disney of “kowtowing” to China, citing Liu and another actor’s support for Hong Kong police and the movie’s credits mentioning state organisations in Xinjiang. “We urge people around the world to boycott the new Mulan movie,” he told Reuters

3/ After consulting with lawyers, @chowtingagnes, @ivanlamviiv and I will plead guilty, which implies that Mon’s hearing will skip trials and go straight into sentencing. Compare to with 2k HKers are prosecuted and 12 HKers detained in China, the charges that I face are minimal.

3. The success of #1country2systems framework is built upon international confidence in this global financial city. Beyond any doubt, Beijing's treatment is casting doubt on the city's liberty, rule of law and judicial independence.

@joshuawongcf
4. When #Beijing scraps its promise of the city’s autonomy and extends its reach to schools, civil servants, judicial system and legislature, it is foreseeable that other countries will review their policies on Hong Kong.

5/ Therefore, EU should have more robust strategy to encounter China’s authoritarian threat to freedoms and autonomy worldwide, including HK. Democratic values & civil liberties lay foundations to all western democracies, & these are also the values that #HKProtesters strive for.

3/ We will not forget their names. In the new year, #hongkongers will continue our cause for democracy and freedoms. And I will continue to seek international support and pass human rights bills on Hong Kong.

2/ Clearly hygiene measures can step up to lower the risk of infection, like what we did during the democratic primaries voting. But the govt knows only to interfere with the election that used to be free and fair, either disqualifying my candidacy or to call off the election.

1/ It may sound pessimistic, but I think arresting Joshua Wong is only a matter of time. I don’t think I can avoid or escape it.

4. Clearly, it is another assault on #HK's rule of law and judicial independence & also casts doubt on whether presumption of innocence still holds under # Beijing's sweeping #nationalsecuritylaw, where citizens/foreigners can be extradited to #China's secret courts and jails.

@joshuawongcf
11/ Now it is clear that China is unwilling to keep its promise, and worse still, China has recently declared the Joint-Declaration to be invalid on its own. The Joint-Declaration was a historical document that no longer had any practical significance, China said.

9/ 8936 #HKers were put under arrest by #hkpolice during #HKProtest since 2019 with 1808 of them prosecuted. For those charged with rioting, the figure is 612. Just a coincidence, 6.12 was was the day when half million HKers took to streets to oppose the evil extradition in 2019.

4/ なぜなら、警察はいつでも国家安全という理由で令状を申請したり、メディアの事務所を捜査したり、記者を入境拒否することまでできるからです。
明日の午後、私は大埔警察署に出頭しないといけないですが、もし、起訴されたら、年単位で拘束される可能性が高いです。

6. When pro-democracy figures like @tedhuichifung and @JeremyTamMH face similar furious stalking, there's a growing concern that #HK is now turning from #policestate to #secretpolicestate where people's freedoms and safety are under unprecedented assault.

@joshuawongcf
Therefore, I call upon the EU side to launch sanctions on the Chinese government if it insists on covering up the truth.

Under #NationalSecurityLaw in #HongKong, now even flying balloons is a crime.

I like how I'm reflecting on the repression of HK/TW by great powers and critiquing the post-1945 international order here, and then, instead of at least attempting to engage with my argument, these Chinese "wumao" bots casually flood my feed with stupid things like this. twitter.com/XflJasmine/sta…

2/ Never have I underestimated the chance of imprisonment at the upcoming hearing on Mon, especially at the time when lawmakers were expelled, journalists were sued for mentioning police brutality, and universities were probed in the pretext of national security claims.

We call on the French government to call a halt to its export of tactical suits to our notorious #HKGov. We also invite the world to join our petition before April.

🎄From summer to winter, #Hongkongers have been fighting hard for a better city for our next generations. To light up our hope in the new year, @demosisto has designed two sets of X’mas cards.
