More coverage of #CCP threats to me & @hk_watch under #HongKong's absurd draconian #NationalSecurityLaw, over two weeks after receiving them.
And an important wider story about #HK's brain drain thetimes.co.uk/article/hong-k…

This is unbelievable.
No freedom of expression AT ALL in #HongKong now, not even the freedom to wear #Ukraine flag👇

Such an amazing privilege to be with #HongKongers last night singing #GloryToHongKong at @RoOT_film UK premiere.
So incredibly moving.

What an honour. A full page in #HongKong's #CCP Ta Kung Pao
First they deny me entry
Then they send me, my neighbours, mother & employers threats, lobby UK MPs to try to silence me, and send fake emails
Then they threaten me under #NationalSecurityLaw
Now it's Ta Kung Pao :)

A week ago, two letters landed in my in-box. One from #HKPF; one from #HongKong's National Security Bureau. Both threatened me, as co-founder of @hk_watch, of violating #NationalSecurityLaw
Today, I have written this, in response to them & in solidarity with all #HongKongers 💕

BREAKING: 5 years ago I was banned from #HongKong
Over recent years I've faced #CCP harassment
Now I face potential #NationalSecurityLaw charges if I don't take down @hk_watch website - which of course I will not do
