Climate change is a global problem. So do human rights violations.
Same as addressing climate problems, we should work together on tackling democratic recession.
Democracy is a global issue. What threatens democracy in one place, threatens the idea everywhere.

Mr. David Perry, QC quitted from the case of prosecuting Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy media mogul. DOJ of HK says "growing pressure and criticism from the UK community" ensued since he took the duty.
It's indeed good news. Lesson learned for everyone.

5/5 This is our collective battle, for our values, for a world we want to live in. They are simply standing on the frontlines. We must lend each other solidarity. We must not look away. The free world must never leave them stranded.

Police have been aimming at reporters when they are shooting tear gas or whatsoever weapons that they use. They are afraid of truth being spreaded. Salute to all the reporters who are defending our rights to information. Recover well!🙏 twitter.com/ryan_lai1214/s…

Literally what we should all be doing. Uphold values and do what we must to defend them.

“Normally, the first of July was a showcase of civil society and big crowds of Hong Kong people. But today, you can only see a Hong Kong that is being silenced.”

Somewhere in Germany, there is a Winnie the Pooh protest graffiti on the S-Bahn light rail train. From the handwriting, we can tell that it’s not painted by a Chinese native speaker.
The world is supporting us in different ways. Thank you very much.

6. Before he stepped into the police station, he reconfirmed his determination towards the fight for freedom. He quoted President Roosevelt:” The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”

Honored to meet with the former French President François Hollande @fhollande. We talked about the political crackdowns in Hong Kong and human rights abuses in China.
I will continue to dialogue with leaders and discuss how we can defend democracy together. It's our mission.

3. For Joshua and Ivan, this is not the first time they step into the cell. But the sentences are longer than all previous. Joshua 13.5m, Ivan 7m, Agnes 10m.Besides, under the National Security Law, Beijing can also prosecute them for their speeches, turning thoughts into crimes.

3 ways forward for defending democracy:
1. Treat democracy crisis as a global fight
2. Put China&HK human rights issues in the center of Biden's Democracy Summit
3. D10 or more alliances should be formed

4. Sentences could pile up. To be honest, I have no idea when the trio could step out of the prison if Beijing pledges to impose the hardest charges on them arbitrarily. Please support them and offer them encouragement, to remind them that they are not alone.

CCP’s espionage activities are everywhere. It’s a big threat to democratic countries. The influence of authoritarianism can easily reach the other end of the world with advanced technologies.
We have to defend our freedom.

4. Apple Daily is a popular newspaper. It ranked 3rd most credible newspaper in the latest poll by a university research institute. People supporting democracy support them as well. Apple daily is murdered by an authoritarian regime, with the latest weaponized legal state.

3. Thus, I hope that my case can help the Home Office understand more about the complicated situation in Hong Kong. To free more protestors from Beijing’s authoritarian oppression, the Home Office could consider more comprehensive evidence when coping with Hong Kong cases.

It's kinda sad to see all the hype around this man.
Let me remind all of you: he's part of the Chinese Communist Party.
Supporting him is no different from supporting those artists championing Erdoğan, Lukashenko or even Putin.
He's against our values.

1. Living in the UK as a refugee, and one of the hundreds of thousands of Hongkongers, I believe the best way to facilitate social cohesion and ethnic harmony is by sharing our culture.
