Democratic figures arrested under the National Security Law last month are requested to report to the police this Sunday. It is suspected that charges might be put. Bails could be denied and years of imprisonment may ensue if they are convicted.
Please pay attention to the case.

4. University ranking systems should include an additional component of "academic freedom." It assesses whether the school's management respects the autonomy of student body and helps the regime suppress and censor. Schools like CUHK would be punished for their collusion.

3. Scholars and reseracheres around the world, if you have any connections with CUHK, please raise your voice over the issue by sending them email or canceling your cooperations with them. The loss of integrity of the school management is appalling and deserves to be condemned.

2. This is a blatant attack on the rights of the students and academic freedom. The school has become a stretched arm of the government to suppress students' freedoms and extend the political terror. It's unacceptable.

1. Academic freedom in #HongKong is in grave danger.
The Chinese University of Hong Kong issued several policies to cut the student union's lifeline. The school says the union's speeches infringe the National Security Law and decided to kick them out from the school's system.

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.

This is the response when people text the number 7979 of Myanmar telecom operator MPT. Many asked me what these characters mean. These are garbled words and mean nothing. No one can read it. The same applies to the glitches on software/ website which shows Chinese character.

//This — China’s bid to reshape the international order to ratify its authoritarian policies at home — is nothing short of an international emergency. ...Countering the CCP’s global ambitions is more than a conventional foreign policy challenge.//

We can all ask our friends in telecom industry to verify it. It's important that we can have information on what's happening in there and try to act in advance to protect citizens there. It's a long process to build an internet firewall -- the free world should act immediately.

Credible sources revealed that the Myanmar military government is receiving “technical support” from the CCP to build similar internet firewalls to block access to Twitter, NYT, FB etc. The internet cutoff serves this need.
Dictators help each other and CCP is leading the way.

Many journalists and foreign citizens I met were shocked by the Juen 4th Massacre in Beijing. People in Myanmar are very worried that the exact same thing will happen in their country. Tanks, soldiers are everywhere and information is extremely limited.

I have personally met many Myanmar activists from my previous effort on enhancing understandings and friendships among Asian activists. I wish them safe -- same to the rest of the population who are fighting for democracy. Extremely heart-broken to have witnessed the development

Friends from #MilkTeaAlliance and democratic countries, I think all of you should be concerned with the latest developments in #Myanmar:
Mass military presence, firing at citizens, internet cutoff… A potential massacre is happening.
Let's keep tweeting and supporting them.

#Breaking: #Myanmar Military Junta is now firing at unarmed civilians, with #InternetShutdown, tanks and endless night arrest. The free world must stand against these atrocities.
All nations backing this dictatorship must be condemned!

While most of us are celebrating Valentine’s day, many activists are unable to share the joy with their important half due to detention, disappearance and fleeing. They are accused of their love for democracy.
Yet, nothing can stop us from it.
Democracy prevails. Love prevails.

People should be reminded more broadly about the threats and dangers of autocracies. Mistakenly claiming China as an "ally" shows the understanding of the nature of CCP is generally lacking, even for people who should be well informed. Something fundamental is missing. twitter.com/NBCNews/status…

cowrote it with @benedictrogers , in solidarity with the protestros in #Myanmar. Democracies should come together to defend our common values in the face of rising tyrannies.
