8/ The new law has changed that landscape. It empowers China’s security agents to operate openly in the city, toppling the legal firewall that has existed between the mainland’s party-controlled courts and HK’s independent judiciary.

6/ In order to safeguard Hong Kong’s civil liberties and foreign interests in the city, the British government should consider all measures to call for the withdrawal of the national security law, such as ruling out Huawei from its involvement in the 5G network in the UK.

7/ Since the incident shows that China will use its economic clout to leverage for political support, in order to uphold the UK sovereign capacities, the British government should consider setting the withdrawal of the law as the prerequisite for future trade deals with China.

4/ Joshua said that the breaches the premise of the Sino-British Joint declaration, a bilateral agreement that was registered at the United Nations. It was signed to guarantee HK’s autonomy for 50 years after the former British colony’s sovereignty was transferred to China.

3. Therefore, at the time when holding blank papers was accused of breaching #nationalsecuritylaw, the legislative council election in September has high risks of cancellation. Hence, tomorrow’s primary may be the last chance for #Hongkongers to cast our vote, free from fear.

5. However, when the regime attempts to instil fear and lies with an iron fist, Hongkongers will continue our fight for justice and democracy, since resistance is the only way to venture through the darkest of times and into the light of hope.

심지어 이 지역의 친구들만이 아니라 이 세상 어딘가에서 홍콩인들의 항쟁으로 감동을 받았던 사람들에게까지도 영향을 준다. 오늘 한국의 학생들로부터 메일을 받았는데 그 친구들의 쓴 글의 문장 문장이 모두 너무나 감동적이었다.

8/ While #Beijing once claimed there would be no speech crime, the reality turns out to be the exact opposite.
After all, the situation becomes more critical, especially after the election was postponed.

3. High false-negative rate: #COVID19 studies suggest that false-negative rate of current testers ranges from 20% to 100%. This unreliable testing result will create a misleading virus-free perception, which will further worsen the outbreaks in the community.

4/ #MilkTeaAlliance represented not only widespread anger over China’s stance on Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet, but also wider regional issues linked to growing Chinese influence and expansion through its Belt and Road initiative and infrastructure development.

2. Although the internal event was exclusively for members, three unknown users, respectively called “HK branch of China’s national security bureau”, “China’s national security bureau” and “Shenzhengovernment” made requests to join the talk soon after the talk started.

10/ The day before announcing his departure, Law testified by video link before a United States congressional committee and criticized the new national security law. He is aware that his words can be used against him to accuse him of a series of crimes under the new law.

Once again, we express our sincere gratitude to @hkdc_us, @NY4HK and overseas #HongKonger Lady A. It well demonstrates that the international network is the only way to rescue us from this deadly epidemic.

2/ According to the latest poll, 64% of the city’s population opposes #China’s blackbox #nationalsecuritylegislation that completely bypasses local legislative scrutiny. However, Beijing chooses to ignore all critics and turns #HK into another Mainland city.

@joshuawongcf
11/ HKMAO's statement is a reminder for HKers to be vigilant & prepared. Of course, we must strive to get more than half the seats! But even if we succeed in achieving this miracle, the regime may still use ever more creative ways - like oath violations - to unseat Legislators.

@joshuawongcf
4/ When only Beijing, the country with the poorest human rights record, can interpret the law and human rights protections. For judges, #CCP is playing tricks. In contrast to current practices, judges are required to be assigned, not by senior judges, by Chief Executive

@joshuawongcf
9. Under the new law, local courts are NOT allowed to interpret laws. Since national security-related cases are under China's direct jurisdiction, local courts must seek Beijing's interpretations before their rulings.

2/ Investigation by @appledaily revealed the registered owners of Toyota & Honda 7seaters shared same names of 2 serving police officers - striking resemblance to last account which I was harassed by a group at the Peak’s Garden - both didn’t respond to a request for comment.

6/ "I was called outside and taken to a room without CCTV. He [a guard] grabbed my head and banged my head against the wall about four or five times… I was dizzy for two days," he said.

5. Risky sampling process: sampling process often induces coughs & sneezes, which pollute the air w/ droplets that can survive for days on surfaces. As all testing centers operate 12 hrs a day w/ limited time to disinfect, it only increases the risk of contact transmitted spread.

From my live-streaming of the game just now with my friend William Liu. (He’s much better than I.) Feel free to rewatch it in full on @demosisto’s YouTube channel 👆

2/ Wong, one of the city’s most prominent young activists, was speaking outside a court where he and fellow campaigners were being prosecuted for involvement in civil unrest which rocked Hong Kong last year.
