🇩🇰 Den kinesiske ambassade bruger en kommende konference i denne uge arrangeret af tidligere statsminister Anders Fogh Rasmussen som et argument for at stramme grebet om HK. Det får Amnesty og HKs mest kendte demokratiforkæmper, Joshua, til at råbe op. politiken.dk/udland/art7824…

Thx @trudyrubin. "Whatever their future, determination of HK’s citizens to fight for rule of law should inspire Americans to defend their own rule of law against WH challenges. If Wong retains his optimism, democrats in US have no excuse to cave."

4/ He made an official complaint to the Correctional Services Department, but an internal investigation by the department concluded last year that his complaint was unfounded on the grounds that there was no evidence.

It's essential for HKers to maintain momentum & raise global awareness. Even though Gov has abused the coronavirus measures to suppress any form of protest, we will try every means to call for changes. #AnimalCrossingNewHorizons is one of the means for us.

1.2/ More worryingly, Beijing plans to set up a national security agency to enforce the law in the city. This new secret police body will probably supersede HKGov & police forces and launch secret arrests of all dissents in HK, just like Liu Xiaobo and Gui Minhai.

2. 2. Also, @Apple allegedly imposed restrictive guidelines, requiring workers not to wear yellow or black in their memoji which will be displayed on their lanyards. Managers even threatened employees with the sack if they refused to change their memoji.

4/ Some people are respectable because they indeed did something great and conquered the limitations of humanity— being selfless, leading an Europe-wide climate change campaign, sacrificing their future and even their lived for the sake of fundamental human rights.

10/ China made a Joint-Declaration together with Britain before Handover of HK to promised “1Country2System” and universal suffrage for HK in 1984. It is bounded Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, which is an international agreement governing treaties between states.

4/ Before universal suffrage, protesters used both violent and nonviolent action in their cause. Afterwards, the use of violence vanished. This is because democracy is the only way for people to see hope in the system.

5/ Without effective checks & balances, #Policeviolence will just prevail without consequences. Under #China’s iron fist, #policebrutality becomes unerasable, only paving way to authoritarianism. It's the reason why #HKers' cause for democracy is only way to bring justice to HK.

3. Worse still, he may face graver charges if #police crack his clients' phones w/ phone hacking tools like #Cellebrite & find any suspicious conversations. He hopes his bail can be granted & #12hkyouths can come back safe.
After all, #Hongkongers hope he can be released soon.

2/ However, leaving the place where we grow up is just the last resort. More HKers pledge to continue our fight for liberty and democracy. Therefore, even for the first day that the national security law came into effect, hundred thousands protesters took to the street.

To understand Carrie Lam and our troubles, don't miss this great portrait of her journey "transitioning from a hardworking colonial subject during British rule to China’s loyal apparatchik". Here she emerges as ideologically empty yet determined to serve whoever is above her. twitter.com/TheAtlantic/st…

2. "Also alarming is the fate of a dozen young protesters who ... attempted to flee HK by speedboat to #Taiwan.
Is #China preparing to prosecute these 12 young people on more serious charges, and without any of the legal rights that HK’s system once afforded?"

The largest scale of election fraud in HK history is simply, to end the legislature forever. However, even they choose to censor us out from the ballot and legislature, they can't censor us out from the democracy movement in Hong Kong.
THEY CAN'T KILL US ALL.

The only logical conclusion is that the Communist Party today is a regime devoid of any ideology, except one: ultranationalism. This is clear not just in HK but also Macau, Taiwan, Xinjiang, Tibet, the South China Sea, and beyond. Xi's "China Dream" is just territorial ambitions.

2/ That's why Police watchdog IPCC is merely a whitewashing & propaganda to justify the future bloody crackdowns on protest. When police violence has becomes the elephant in the room, what #HKGov do is to act like a #MinistryOfTruth to ignore all these widespread atrocities.

7/ Since the freedoms and human rights of our generations are not values that we can compromise, Hongkongers have no way back. Just like the recent Tiananmen candlelight vigil, law and barricades will not put an end to the city’s spirit of resistance.
