Daughter had a nasty fall yesterday at school, so I had to take her to work.
Two years ago an anonymous HKer sent this 🐸 from 🇭🇰 (symbol has different connotations in HK/ not associated with ‘hate’ in any way).
It was the only thing that comforted her!

#NEW: I’ve now heard multiple reports that #HK activists nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize are suffering reprisals (bullying/threats) in custody as a direct result of the nomination.
從可靠嘅消息得知，幾位香港抗爭者/民運人事，都因為被提名諾貝爾獎而受到懲教署威脅報復 twitter.com/hkfp/status/15…
803
With the spotlight fixed on them now, hopefully more attention will be paid to their circumstances behind bars.
而家大家嘅關注都晌佢地身上嘅時候，希望都會有多啲對於抗爭者嘅獄中待遇嘅關注。

#NEW @WTA REFUSING to host events in China until #PengShuai case is resolved.
Have to hand it to them. While other sports associations pay lip service to human rights and gender quality, Steve Simon’s WTA is practising what it preaches. twitter.com/SafeguardDefen…

Some “free speech” from you about the #Uyghur genocide would be welcome. twitter.com/elonmusk/statu…

Catching up with @trussliz’s strong Mansion House speech.
Absolutely correct to identify the economic bottom-line as 🇨🇳 key vulnerability.
This rhetoric has to be brought to life. 🇬🇧 must be willing to reduce our dependency on 🇨🇳 together with international partners.

I would love to see Hong Kongers represented in the 🇬🇧 Parliament.
Anyone from the HK diaspora community who wants to do this, I’m always here to try to help or advise. twitter.com/hkfp/status/15…

李家超係透過欽點成為咗香港嘅領導人，香港人冇得投票，你可以用好多字數形容呢件事，但今日絕對冇「選舉」發生。 twitter.com/AP/status/1523…

Uh-oh. New Chief Executive accidentally comes out for #HongKong Independence.
“The result makes me realise how much everyone loves Hong Kong as a COUNTRY” (emphasis added)
Someone report him to the NSL police?

Wow. The ENTIRE G7 SLAMS #HongKong coronation of John Lee. 👏
Now, how about some actions to back up those words.
#StandwithHK
811
I’ll try to look into this, but I’d be wary of spreading this kind of story until verified, as it might cause unnecessary alarm among people who are considering leaving #HK in already desperate circumstances. twitter.com/DiploMuggle/st…

Just so sad.
Will the arrest of Cardinal Zen - a great man - be enough to get @Pontifex to break his silence on the assault against #HongKong’s freedoms? Don’t hold your breath. 😞 twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

#NOW @MPIainDS has been granted an urgent question in @HouseofCommons on the arrests of Cardinal Zen, Margaret Ng, Denise Ho!@ipacglobal @hk_watch

香港政府發放「消息」想禁止使用Telegram，網上一片風聲鶴唳。但呢件事發映左其實佢地有幾驚有幾冇安全感。亦可以睇到佢地對科技操作一無所知，更加無視科技中立等原則，近乎係妄顧現實。
佢地係冇可能如願將整個香港、整場運動滅聲。 twitter.com/charlesmok/sta…

多謝Telegraph畀我評論匯豐又一次以雙重標準、偽善嘅方式營運。如果匯豐唔立即解凍民運人士、相關機構嘅户口，佢地同自打嘴巴冇分別。

Finally meeting in person after 2+ years of collaboration.

‼️I think this is a REALLY IMPORTANT moment for the #HK democracy movement.
Immensely proud of @ipacglobal’s HK lead @chungchingkwong calling out the failure of the democratic world to defend Hong Kong’s way of life and autonomy.

The UN Xinjiang visit is has gone from intrepid investigation to #OperationOstrich.
Thanks @ABCWorldNews for covering.
820
Wow. From Lord (Chris) Patten’s diaries in Oct 1992, published in @Telegraph today.
The British betrayal in Hong Kong runs deep, and they’re paying the price for it now.
821
#BREAKING Human Rights chief @mbachelet “unable” to assess #Uyghur human rights abuses, frames them in the context of “anti-terrorism” and “de radicalisation” measures (which they aren’t).
822
Wow. It’s very clear which questions have been provided to @mbachelet in advance. She is reading from a script in response to PRC state media questions. Shocking.
824
Key takeaways:
- COVID used as an excuse.
- Beijing’s “anti-terrorism” narrative adopted (😦)
- Admission of Potemkin style prison visit.
- No engagement with #XinjiangPoliceFiles
Hard to see @antonioguterres can reappoint her in September. A catastrophic dereliction of duty.
825
Matter-of-fact (very good) response from @trussliz. Basically: “pointless investigation, get on with publishing your report”. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…
