Riot Gaming is 100% owned by Chinese Tencent. Pro players and hosts of League of Legends are “reminded” to avoid discussing "sensitive issues”.
Gaming is freedom. Is banning your voice coherent with the sportsmanship of E-sports?

5. I hope political prisoners will be released soon and reunite with their families;
I hope protesters in exile can one day come back to Hong Kong without fear nor threat.

Congrats @GretaThunberg for the recognition of TIME the Perosn of the Year! It's important that we know China plays a role in this global fight-- we all share some similarities when it comes to our fights.
We need a better world.

Attending #Time100 summit with my first #freedomshoe, designed and produced by Tibetan activist Khenzom. It combines our support for Ukraine and Hong Kong, and opposition against dictatorships. Hope leaders in this community can be more prepared to defend democracy.

@Wix said they removed the website by mistakes. I genuinely hope that they learnt sth from this incident. The website was down since 31 May, took them 3 days (and three hours after I tweeted) to reinstate it. This is what they told me when I first asked them.

1/Myanmar’s resistance against military dictatorship has been two years, and still continuing.

3. I would like to use this precious moment to draw the world’s attention to the 12 Hongkongers that are still detained in China’s prison. For nearly one month, they are still barred from any access to family-instructed lawyers. I hope they can return back soon and safe.

It's hypocritical to counter "anti-Asian hate" but defend China's human rights record. Millions of Uyghurs are suffering in concertion camps now. They can only get away from it by equating "criticizing China" to "advancing US imperialism."
I can't even explain how lame it is. twitter.com/Fio_edwards/st…

1. This article aims at encouraging a global approach to tackle the democracy crisis. The decline of democracy has been ongoing for almost two decades, and many people suffer. It's time for us to rethink our approach to defend our democratic values.

2. The parent company of Apple Daily, Next Digital Limited, is a listed company. The govt forced a listed company to close itself in a matter of days, though signs have been there for months.

1. It's been a few months since I published "Freedom." There's been positive news for the book, including getting 2021 Foreword INDIES Gold Winner. I want to talk about why I wanted to write this introductory book for the HK protest movement and the moving reviews.

1/ The book “Freedom” warns the world how fragile and precious freedom is — thus part of the revenue is donated to the fight for freedom in Ukraine 🇺🇦.
We need more doers not talkers. From Russia to China, from right to vote to right from fear, we are all in this together.

//many of us are unable to imagine the life of worrying that, on every single morning, 6:00 a.m., there would be a group of police knocking on your door, and you will be taken away. Possibly, you stay in prison for years before you can come back...//

[annivesary of first million rally]
The police now arbitrarily conduct “stop and search” to anyone on the street, especially targeting individuals nearby buildings where NGOs reside. I was unfortunately SSed and a reporter captured that. Police are abusing their power.

3. By arresting executives, journalists and freezing the asserts, the companies cannot pay their staffers, and staffers are afraid of being arrested. The paper with a history of 26 years is gone. The companies and the arresstees are not even trialed yet.

5. Firing at reporters, many of whom were filming scenes on the ground from footbridges far away.
