.@chowtingagnes is being brought to the police station now. It’s a devastating move from the Chinese govt that they want to silence the voice of resistance in Hong Kong. I urge the world to keep an eye on what’s happening.

.@chowtingagnes is arrested under National Security Law with the charge of inciting secession. The police are searching her home with a warrant. She will be brought to police station and we don’t know whether she could be bailed. Fingercrossed.

Agnes Chow is arrested under National Security Law and we are still acquiring information about the content of the arrests. Horrible day.

Crazy arrests. The end of freedom of press in Hong Kong. The national security law is quashing the freedom of our society, spreading politics of fear.

Thanks for the statement @DominicRaab . It’s time to sanction the infamous Carrie Lam under the Global Magnitsky Act and send a signal to the CCP that the freedom loving countries will hold them accountable.

So, it’s time for the UK govt to take actions after US govt sanctioned 11 HK officials. At least, get the infamous Carrie Lam banned and her asset frozen.
We should be united and defend democracy together. Hold China accountable!

I welcome the US government’s decision to sanction 11 Chinese and HK officials, who are responsible for the human rights violation in HK. I hope more countries can work together and hold these tyrannical leaders to account. Democracy and autonomy NOW!

We are witnessing a structural change in terms of attitude towards China & CCP.

8. At the same time, I hereby reiterate: My advocacy work overseas is conducted in my own personal capacity, without any collaboration with others. Since leaving Hong Kong, I have also stopped contacting members of my family. From now on I’ll sever my relationship with them.
718
9. My social media will remain active. I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship. I’ll also try my best to protect my safety. Please don’t worry about me. I still have faith in the future.
719
5. For me, it’s with action: I’ve always advocated for democracy in Hong Kong, for sanctions by foreign governments against officials who stifle human rights, for an international response to concentration camps in Xinjiang and the collapse of Hong Kong’s autonomy.
720
7. I really love Hong Kong: its terrain, its culture, its vibe. But what I most love are Hong Kongers’ values and the future of its every inhabitant. What I now face is far greater than my own gains and losses. The price of displacement is what I’m willing to pay.
721
6. The arrests, the disqualifications, the wanted bulletins — these are indications of our need to remain active on the global stage. That Hong Kong has no place for even such moderate views like ours underscores the absurdity of Chinese Communist rule.
722
2. Since 2014 I have experienced a lot of ups and downs: from student leader to a Legislative Council member, and from a prisoner to an international advocate, I have not for a moment betrayed Hong Kongers’ values and democratic aspirations.
723
4. I was prepared when I left Hong Kong to be in exile; but this becoming a reality still disappoints, incapacitates, and frightens me. Indeed who can enjoy freedom from fear in the face of China’s powerful political machine? What we can choose is how to respond to this fear.
724
3. I’d be dishonest if I said I could’ve imagined six years ago that, by the time of Hong Kong’s complete destruction under Chinese control in 2020, I’d be so far gone, truly not knowing when I could return home.

1. THREAD: Like all of you, I found out from news reports that I — along with five other Hong Kongers currently overseas — am on the wanted list for having violated the NSL. I have no idea what is my “crime” and I don’t think that’s important. Perhaps I love Hong Kong too much.
