I am glad they have been released on bail. But they should never have been arrested in the first place.
The international community must keep up the pressure for the case to be dropped. twitter.com/krislc/status/…

These arrests are unbelievably horrific, and to arrest a 90 year old Cardinal, @CardJosephZen, a truly great man, a hero, is especially egregious twitter.com/XinqiSu/status…

#HongKongers - I have written this message, following the "selection" ("sham election") of #CCP quisling thug #JohnLee as #HongKong's new Chief Executive.
Hope it makes you smile in these dark times.

#JohnLee picked the voters
John Lee had no opponent
John Lee locked up and beat up critics
John Lee wins 99% of his handpicked electors' votes

He could hardly lose
The people couldn't vote
His 1,500 "selectors" were handpicked by Beijng
He was unopposed
A farce. A sham. Resulting in an even more hardline #CCP quisling thug in charge of #HongKong

I one hundred percent agree with @badiucao and stand in total solidarity with @DrewPavlou
It is the #CCP thugs who attacked him who should be arrested, not Drew for speaking out against #XiJinping's brutality and criminality. twitter.com/badiucao/statu…
