Extraordinarily brave article by Jimmy Lai's son.
These people are heroes and the world must recognise them as such.

As we prepare to celebrate #Christmas, let's always remember #HongKong #PoliticalPrisoners in jail, including #JimmyLai, #JoshuaWong & so many others
Let's never forget them
Let's keep fighting for their freedom
Join me by lighting a #Candle4HK to #FreeHKPoliticalPrisoners

THREAD: I want to share a few reflections & principles about why - & how - I try to support #HongKong's #FightForFreedom, have done so for the past 8 years
1. The most important point is that I have never, ever claimed to represent #HongKongers. All I try to do is support /

I am unable to join this rally unfortunately, but I stand in solidarity with #CardinalZen and all who support him.
If you can join, please do - and let us all pray for this courageous, inspiring, 90 year-old hero of faith now on trial

Great to see the #Taiwan flag still flying at its embassy to the Holy See, just down the road from St Peter's in Rome.
Long may it remain there!

The #CCP's Consulate in Manchester is so sensitive to any insults to #XiJinping that it responds with criminal thuggery
Those responsible - including the Consul-General - should be prosecuted or expelled

@benedictrogers
Excellent.
This is what we should always do to #CCP thugs who threaten our freedoms and harass anyone who criticises #XiJinping's regime
We must stop kowtowing and #FightForFreedom
Good job, Manchester police! 👇 twitter.com/badiucao/statu…

@benedictrogers
Very brave
I am sure those who were so courageous as to speak out like this were speaking for many many more people in #China
No decent, humane human being could ever willingly support #XiJinping's #CCP tyranny

Today is #JimmyLai's birthday, yet he is spending it in prison, awaiting trial and probably denied the lawyer of his choice.
Pray for Jimmy Lai and his family and stand in solidarity with him.
Let's unite to cry out: #FreeJimmyLai !

#HarryandMeghan claim:
➡️they want privacy, but invite film crews into their home, write memoirs, go on TV shows, air their confused emotions to the world
➡️they want to reconcile with the King & Prince William, yet daily stab them in the back
Disgrace!
