2/ China is also gearing up for its punitive diplomacy. A few weeks ago, Beijing introduced the vaguely worded “unreliable entity list”, under which CCP leaders have full discretions to impose economic sanctions on businesses that perceivably don't bow to its political red lines.

張俊富 Cheung, 22
Being a student form the Open University, he should have been similar to other people, leading a simple life. Instead of opting for pleasant university life, he chose to stand up for HK. We hope that he can safely return home, together with 11 of the others.

7/ Hence, the new offence is a new weapon to frame and silence dissidents, especially in this global city with more international connections and ex-pats. To safeguard the vibrancy of civil society, @demosisto will insist on bringing the truth to the world.

3. Four years ago, no one would believe what had happened in #HK, with #policebrutality, arbitrary prosecution, draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, censorship, disqualification, election cancellation and media meltdown, with 9000+ #HKers arrested and 12 youths now detained in #China.

8/ Hong Kong police have imported 129 Daily HI-MATIC model patrol cars from Italian manufacturer Iveco in 2017. As countless news reports show, patrol cars were used to crash to Hong Kong protesters. I urged the Italian government to stop selling patrol cars to Hong Kong.

“Hong Kongers were right to oppose the extradition law,” she said. “I tell you as a person who has experienced it. If the extradition law was passed last year, hundreds and thousands of families would be facing the same situation as me.”

12/ Beyond any doubt, the new security law is retrospective. From opposition leaders to critical media, Beijing is now staging its outrageous political purge on the city’s dissidents. Despite Beijing’s looming authoritarian shadow, resistance is our only way out.

2. According to Wang Dan, one of the student leaders of the #TiananmenSquare pro-democracy movement in 1989, #Beijing will arrest me Joshua Wong and the city’s pro-democracy media tycoons Jimmy Lai on Wednesday (July 1), the day after the law is put into place.

4. Evidently, the decision is one step closer to the implementation of “cooperation of powers” policy proposed by #Xijinping in 2008, emphasizing that judiciary and legislature are required to support the administrative branch.

Age of arrested person
18 or below: 1199
19-30: 4608
31-40 754
41-50: 338
51-60: 192
61 or above: 74
In a city with merely 7 million people, nearly 10000 are under arrest, mostly under age 18. When the youngest one is only 11, what msg is Beijing sending to our next generations?

5/ Any comments that were unfavourable to China-imposed red line will fall prey to China's hegemony. That will be a dire threat to the freedom of speech of Italian people. Also, overdependence on Chinese investments in infrastructure comes with tremendous political risks.

@joshuawongcf
Clearly, the #policebrutality was one of key reasons for #hongkongers to stand out, and it will always be. The virus will not cast off our determination to hold police officers to account for its misconduct.

張銘裕 Cheung, 20
Cheung had once told his father that he needs to “fight for freedom”, which was questioned by his father as to for what he was fighting. “For the next generation”, He answered resoundingly. Such a firmed belief continued to glow upon the moment he was on board.

李子賢 Lee, 29
Lee is a 29-year old cat lover - going to sleep with the two cats he adopted was the most valuable moment in his life. Attempting to leave Hong Kong, he took the initiative to take a photo with his mother.

2/ “I still have a role to play here,” he told EFE in a telephone interview, stressing the importance of getting the most votes in September elections in the city. Wong intends to stand as a candidate in the Legislative Council of Hong Kong.

6/ What we strive to work on now is that if our voice cannot be heard soon, we still hope that the world could speak louder and to defend democracy with more concrete and forceful efforts.

3/ Not to mention that 80% of COVID-19 tests that Czech brought from China give fake results. All censored information by China may lead to another wave of contagion and threaten other countries' life and death. Besides, China is now busy shaping the narrative by blaming others.

5/ It will be more worrying if the Northern Ireland government chooses to turn a blind eye to the potential human rights concerns behind the law and bow down low to Beijing solely in exchange for more economic ties with China in business and education. belfast.chineseconsulate.org/chn/zlghd/t180…

4. Compared to the sacrifice that the city’s young souls have made, mine is negligible. I hope #Hongkongers and the world can continue standing with them when dissents are thrown into prisons one by one.

6. When China tries to silence our voices with fear, HKers will continue to speak up for justice without fear.
Hongkongers, please vote! And let our voice be heard!

Under Beijing's tightening grip, it is understandable that people may feel gloomily frustrated about the future, with some of them risking their lives on angry sea fleeing for asylum overseas. But more importantly, many of us also vow to stay and fight until our very last breath.
