2/ Business circles, banks, lawyers and scholars fear that the law will introduce Chinese styled snitching culture and censorship to HK. It's foreseeable that more companies are forced to kowtow to Beijing once the law is implemented in HK.

6/ Also, he has also been accused of organizing an illegal protest at Hong Kong Police Station on June 21, for which he could stand trial soon. He has been banned from leaving Hong Kong and has to report to a police station twice a week.

I have long opposed him. He personifies the multifaceted imperial forces that prevent Hong Kongers from attaining genuine freedom and democracy, as our territory was handed over merely from one empire to another in 1997. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

3/ “Time is running out in Hong Kong ... (that is almost turning from) ‘one country, two systems’ to ‘one country, one system’ and (this) seems to be the beginning of the end,” said Wong, referring to the principle which China uses to govern Hong Kong.

3/ Today is the day for the majority of #Taiwaneses to choose their fate, to safeguard their democracy and freedoms, and most importantly, to say no to #CCP's authoritarian invasion. People of #Taiwan also show the world their defiance of #Beijing’s lie of #onecountrytwosystems.

3/ ...and it banned an initiative by Catholic activists to mobilize a prayer campaign for Hong Kong. It is unclear whether the pressure for these measures came from Beijing or Rome, or out of fear in the diocese of the wrath of both.

6/ The world will probably cast doubts on the French government's determination in safeguarding human rights worldwide since the resolution was supported by the majority of @Europarl_EN in the first place.

However, just on the same day of the meeting, #hongkongpolice carries new rounds of political persecution by arresting key pro-democracy figures including Lee Cheuk Yan, Yeung Sum and pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai.

5/ Beijing directly appointed members and held meetings in Shenzhen. Therefore, history may repeat. However, Hongkongers will still strive for a parliamentary majority since Beijing has already put its most controversial agenda, the national security legislation, on the table.

2. Throughout my six years in college since the #UmbrellaMovement in 2014, I have been suspended from my studies because I was sentenced to imprisonment. I have also tried taking examinations in prison. Now that I have finally graduated, my wish has been fulfilled.

8/ The student activist, who became known as the main promoter of the Umbrella Revolution protests in 2014 when he was 18 years old, says the most important issue is to stop mass arrests and extradition to mainland China.

9/ However, Chinese were being arrested by authorities and were accused of spreading rumours about the Wuhan-virus, despite it was officially acknowledged. More worryingly, the Chinese authorities have decided to shut down outbound transportation from Wuhan on Thursday morning.

It's an adage that he admits pushes him to fight the good fight for democracy in his homeland. The documentary almost plays out like the origin story of a superhero movie; it’s the scrawny teenager versus the unflinching, shadowy government.

3/ Even they violate the constitution of Hong Kong. It should be discussed in the court via judicial review procedure. And not being narrowly handled within the election petition procedure.

In a failed state like #Hongkong, #Carrielam only knows how to suppress, but not govern. What #HKers should do is not merely #FreeHongKong, but also save Hong Kong.

5. When Beijing criminalizes all international advocacy with its sweeping powers, the vote that I get in the primary would be the popular mandate for our future international advocacy to call for the world's awareness on HK’s vanishing liberty and democracy.

6/ It infected 1,755 people and took away 299 lives. I was just a kid at the time, I remember school was cancelled and I was staring at the news everyday for updates on infection and death numbers, I can still recall how desperate we were.

2/ Even for street activism, those who chanted “Long Live Liverpool” were framed as inciting Hong Kong independence, while others that put “FreeHK” and “Conscience” stickers on phones were arrested for “inciting subversion” during yesterday’s demonstration.

3. Even before this evil law is implemented, #HKgov has already tightened its grip by banning this years’ candlelight vigil for the first time in 30 years. To block #Hongkongers from joining the vigil, the venue was locked down w/ barricades, with thousands of #hkpolice deployed.

3/ It means the law only allows “human rights with Chinese characteristics”. Beijing completely ignores the concerns raised by the Bar Association about how the new law can abide by international standards like ICCPR.
