The ridiculousness, stupidity, hypocrisy of #CCP
In all of UK rule in #HongKong - yes colonial - there were almost no calls for independence
In 25 yrs of #Beijing's rule, as it has dismantled freedoms, the cry for independence grows
Think why's that?

Jimmy Lai's international lawyers are absolutely right to file this appeal at the UN
It is absolutely outrageous that they, as international lawyers, should face such intimidation for their very valid and justified actions
