3. While Apple claims in its commitment to Human Rights that they “make technology people that respect their human rights”, it is just scandalous for this tech giant to side with dictators and leave people defenceless in the face of authoritarian rules.

18/ While posts quoting the Chinese national anthem’s first line – “Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves” – were censored. Underneath President Xi’s personality cult and his rigid controls, we are the oppressed. Throughout the outbreak, we bear witness to the powerlessness of power.

1/ When the coronavirus outbreak hit several cities in China, it also dealt another blow to HK‘s autonomy. Fear & anxiety are growing as cases in China have more than tripled over the past week.

5/ Since the law introduces legal and political uncertainties to the city, the world should also reconsider Hong Kong’s special status in order to protect foreign interests and as a way to push for the withdrawal of this evil law.

2/ HKGov use new #coronavirus restrictions to suppress protest. Police disproportionately target pro-democracy stores, being checked twice every 15 minutes. When police instruct to line up for body search, bystanders were framed as violating 4 person limit on public gatherings.

5/ ...including those from foreign correspondents. For journalists who had covered the Hong Kong movements last year, their visa applications or renewals were delayed for weeks or even rejected, mirroring the control of the media in mainland China.

[WTH is going on in HK?]
While Beijing used the coronavirus to suppress protest with aggressive measures, it is my pleasure to explain with @dpletka & @marcthiessen from @AEI that why it’s more important than ever that the world stands with HK.

2/ Just within one month after the national security law was put in place, the city has been blanketed in Orwellian fear. Books were pulling from libraries. People carrying stickers with quotes from Bibles or carrying blank placards were charged for breaching the security law.

2/ Rule of law, free flow of information, checks & balances are compromised & give way to Xi’s Chinese Dream. The Wuhan Coronavirus outbreak precisely explain this argument. HK, given its proximity to mainland China, is highly prone to infection and spread of disease.

3. It casts more concerns on the city’s academic freedoms and #freespeech when #CCP members are now nominated to head #Hongkong’s university directly, let alone the chilling effects of the sweeping #NationalSecurityLaw.

The current legislation could not guarantee that personal data would not be sent to mainland China. It was unclear whether the new proposal would be targeted at an outbreak or whether everyone would be forced to take a test.

저는 아시아의 네 마리 용, 한국과 대만의 민주적 프로세스는 홍콩에서도 참고할 만하다는 생각을 해왔습니다. 특히 ‘아시아의 만델라’라고도 불리는 김대중 대통령이 실천하여 이룬 외교적 성과와 국제적 경험은 오늘날 백색 테러의 충격을 겪고 있는 홍콩에게도 시사점을 줄 것이라 생각합니다.

4/ It's the first time members of the press have been arrested under the law. In recent weeks, Beijing has been speeding up its media crackdown. Right before the enactment, HK’s immigration department set up a new national security unit to vet visa applications...

5/ 그러나 지난 시간 한국의 민주 시민들은 지혜롭고 강인했습니다.
절대로 침묵하지 않았습니다.
4.19 민주화운동, 5.18 광주민주화운동, 6월민주항쟁 등 너무도 부럽고 가슴 뛰는 민주 혁명이 한국 전역에서 벌어졌고,

4/ 민주화 시위자들에게 가혹한 고문과 처벌을 통해 민주화 운동을 억압하려 시도했던 아픈 역사가 있었습니다. 민주화운동을 위해 거리로 나섰던 많은 민주 시민들이 한국에 존재했던 ‘국가보안법’이라는 이름의 법률로부터 처벌받고 억압받아 왔습니다.

The West Kowloon Court on Tuesday adjourned the case against 26 leading pro-democracy activists over the Tiananmen massacre candlelight vigil to October 15, pending the prosecution’s request to transfer the cases to the District Court. news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/compon…

4/ 最終的には、パソコン2台、携帯3台、CCTVの一部、たくさんの去年と雨傘の時の制作物、それからジョシュア・ウォンと撮った写真も警察に押収された。一般的な令状の場合は当事者の部屋だけなのに、今回の令状の捜査範囲は非常に広く、どういう重い罪を犯したのだろうかと思っていた。

4/ Compare to the #12HKYouth, who have no access to lawyers, no access to medication, and chances are they are being tortured inside the black-box judicial system of China with more backwards, draconian laws, I am very fortunate.
