7/ On the day he was released from prison last year, he made an appearance outside the headquarters of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong, where he was cheered on by thousands of people who had gathered in protest against a proposed extradition bill.

4. If China insists on delinking this international financial city from the world, it is foreseeable that more countries will have a rethink on the city's human rights protections and safety.

3/ National security cases can also be sent to Chinese courts for trial. Vowing not to give up on their mission, Wong says they are prepared to go to jail. Wong, who has already been imprisoned three times, told the Guardian that he had “no choice” but to keep going.

@chowtingagnes: 15歳で、初めて政治の舞台に上がってから、今年で23歳
アグネス・チョウの、8年の青春は、全て香港社会運動へと、捧げてきました。本日、彼女は、国安法により逮捕後初めて、再度警察署へ出頭しました。どうか、引き続き皆様の応援の程よろしくお願いします。youtu.be/ZcM9o266XKM

7/ Similar to SARS, the Huanan Seafood Market, which sells meat is sold alongside live animals like dogs, hares, and civets, in Wuhan is thought to be the starting point for the virus outbreak.

3/ Of millions of visitors who have come to HK, how many of them have unknowingly been in close contact with those who have contracted coronavirus? Medical staff went on strike to pressure HKGov to seal off the borders to prevent more people from entering HK but to no avail.

2. At that time it was like a miracle when the final result was announced. Everybody cheered with joy at the central counting centre, with hopes in our eyes to make some changes in the rigged system that had lost its touch with the people completely.

3/ Apart from expressing concerns over HK, I call the Australian government to embed human rights clauses in its free trade agreement with HK, serving as the economic leverage to protect human rights, basic freedoms and autonomy in the city.

@joshuawongcf
But in newyear, I see hope in HKers & other freedom lovers of the world. HKers do not fight alone. This is a global fight against the authoritarian expansion of CCP worldwide. We don’t want basic freedoms, human rights & democratic systems fall prey to #beijing’s manipulation.

1/ Yet just when sleep-deprived bankers are heading home for the night, 24-year-old Joshua Wong will go to bed wondering if he’ll be awakened in the morning by police coming to arrest him.

@joshuawongcf
Seared with SARS in 2003, & already mobilized for protest against unpopular gov, HKers acted swiftly, collectively, & efficiently, in effect saving themselves. Organizational capacity & civic infrastructure built by protest played a central role in HK’s grassroots response.

2/ That is how #China’s global censorship regime works. First UK activist @benedictrogers, followed by reporters like @VJMallet and academics like @DanGarrett97, and now even US human rights advocates @KenRoth were denied entry.

3. By far, I see at least three fatal impacts: 1) Tailor-made offences for key activists and foreigners based on diplomatic needs, 2) Cut-throat damage to judicial independence, and 3) Beijing's direct rule by installing China's institution in the territory of Hong Kong.

2. As a juvenile suspect, he may be detained at #PikUk Prison, which is notorious of jail abuses, from forcing prisoners to lick urine to pouring boiling porridge over their heads. Situation grows afterwards, esp when it comes to political prisoners.

3/ The innovative ‘Milk Tea Alliance’ is more about how netizens and key opinion leaders on social media can take a leadership role and generate pressure against the momentum of Beijing’s propaganda machine. It will enhance more students to push forward global solidarity.

2/ 문재인 대통령은 홍콩에 대한 지지를 표명하는 것에 주저하는 경향이 있습니다. 이것에 대해 어떻게 생각하십니까?
2.1/ “이해관계가 인권 원칙보다 우선시 되어서는 안됩니다. 특히 문재인 대통령은 예전에 인권변호사였습니다.

@joshuawongcf
9/ Beijing has also said it will have jurisdiction over especially “serious” prosecutions. China says the powers will restore stability after a year of pro-democracy protests, will not stifle freedoms, and will only target a “very small minority”.

@joshuawongcf
4/ Such human rights and autonomy clauses can also secure Australian investors' interest in Hong Kong free from China's threat. Australian parliament can also pass its Magnisky Act legislation to serve as an efficient sanction regime to provide minimum human rights protection.

3/ Without effective checks and balances, the police can arbitrarily abuse their power and torture citizens without consequences. Working with the police, mobs can just walk away after attacking pregnant ladies.

@joshuawongcf
According to a police statement detailing the investigation, and Wong’s application to Hong Kong’s High Court to have the warrants declared unlawful, hundreds of messages on Telegram and WhatsApp were accessed and collected by police.

3/ I have imagined what would happen if I were detained and sent to China. The physical mistreatment and deprivation of liberty and human dignity seem inevitable. Being separated from my beloved family and friends would also be heartbreaking.
2098
@joshuawongcf
4/ But if I suffered this misfortune, I hope the world to stand with HK. The most unbearable ordeal for a political prisoner is watching one’s home fall into authoritarian grip while others continue to harvest economic & other gains from financial hub as though nothing happened.

@joshuawongcf
Now that they can't protest in the streets, people are doing it inside the hit social simulation game.
“For lots of people around the world who play this game, they have to put their ideal life into the game, and for HKers, we have to put our protest sites inside the game”

5. Unfortunately, Youtube and Netflix alike still remain silent on their stances on #NSL and whether they will bend to China’s whips and censor “sensitive videos” from their platforms. We hope all service providers can put democratic values ahead of dollar signs.
