Wong is the youngest among the 12 detainees. Supposedly, as a teen under 18, he can't entrust a lawyer on his on device. However, HKGov claimed that Wong voluntarily did so. Wong’s family lawyers requested a meeting with officials but were forced to withdraw.

6/ Therefore, I call on the Australia Government for pushing HK & Beijing to achieve universal suffrage for chief executive poll and Legislative Council election in Hong Kong.

7. Universities should be more than just business values, but also the bastion of liberal values. I hope that Australian universities should take concrete measures to protect their autonomy and make their controversial ties with #China more transparent.

Apart from his family, Kwok, an HKU Student who loves drama, was also thinking about a girl whom he knew from the Drama Club. Perhaps she is, indeed, the main cast of his life. Before leaving his homeland, he plucked up all his courage to confess to the girl...

2. Before that, #Beijing has already been toughening its curb on media, from setting up a new #nationalsecurity unit in Immigration Dept to screen foreign correspondents' visa application, replacing news heads of credible TV providers, to interrupting local media's news coverage.

4/ While the Beijing-appointed city leader has powers to determine what behaviour or information should be viewed as imperilling national security without courts’ scrutiny. Over 300 protesters were arrested yesterday with 10 of them charged with a breach of the new law.

5/ As #COVID19 is transmitted through droplets, & surgical masks have been proved effective against droplet transmission, wear masks is the best way to keep away from virus, especially when it's commonly found that ppl cough in fully enclosed mass transportation & crowded areas.

4/ Credit rating companies have warned about the erosion of #HK's of political and economic independence in recent years. Only by human rights sanctions, we can counter China’s erosion of the city’s freedoms and foreign business interests on this island.

4/ This is a matter of time when China extends its Great Firewall and censorship apparatus to HK, and censors social media platforms like Facebook, Whatsapp and Twitter. It harms not only freedom of speech, but also free flow of information & all business interests relying on it.

Reporters Without Borders (RSF) calls on the World Health Organization (WHO) to lift its ban on Taiwanese journalists, which violates the universal right to information and is undermining efforts to combat the coronavirus epidemic.

2/ Beijing has never stopped its crackdowns on HK’s liberty, from the arrests of tens of thousands of HK protesters, the appointment of party committee members to university board, to the recent launch of national security hotlines that encourages snitching on neighbors.

5. With such systematic oppressions of HK freedom seekers, especially under #nationalsecuritylaw amid #Beijing’s mounting influence, it is foreseeable that more and more people will lose trust in the city’s judicial impartiality which this international financial centre lies on.

鄧棨然 Tang, 30
Suffering from asthma and skin disease, 30-year old Tang might not have medicine since related information was not found. Worrying, his mother’s every single word in the press conference was heartbreaking to many.

4/ Italy joined the belt and road project, signing a memorandum with China cause concrete risk for Italy to fall completely under chinese influence. It's a perfect example that China will use it's as the economic leverage to export its authoritarian value and censorship to Italy.

@joshuawongcf
3/ Police also dressed like bandits and pointed guns at civilians, putting ppl in peril in #HKPoliceState. But suppression only sparks more resistance. Resolute and determined, #hkers will not kowtow to this totalitarian regime of #China.

Any gears supplied to #hongkongpolice will merely turn them into weapons against democracy fighters in HK. Just as G7 leaders supported HK's autonomy last year, some values are more important than dollar signs, and that is Liberty that #hongkongers want to fight for.

鄭子豪 Cheng, 17
Before leaving, he purchased a phone for his mother as a birthday gift. It's still here while the receiver has been so distant away. He loves HK no less than family. He's willing to bear the burden & go away, taking all the fishing equipment & leaving overnight.

Joshua told how he constantly feared arrest following the imposition of a new security law, in a virtual appearance at British book festival. He said his very participation might put him at risk, but that it was his duty to keep speaking out about China’s tightening grip on HK.

@joshuawongcf
7/ Quartz today reported that China is now buying up Italy. If the Italian government fails to guard the nation against China's autocratic ambitions, the consequence of losing sovereignty and autonomy will be more disastrous.

@joshuawongcf
6. To safeguard the city's democratic aspirations, civil liberties, and the last hope to remember the atrocity publicly in the future, I call upon the world leaders to take actions to urge #China to withdraw this evil law.
