It’s been two years since @joshuawongcf was jailed. We have no idea when he can leave — no verdict yet, and govt just put an extra charge on him.
We must continue to voice for them and request an immediate release of all political prisoners in HK.

I've also received msgs seeking help from young Hong Kong protestors with similar cases. @SuellaBraverman has to work more on protecting these persecuted individuals. twitter.com/lukedepulford/…

The scenes of Iranian police opening fire and beating protestors are terrifying. Hong Kong police committed the same brutality during the 2019 protest, which ignited many more HKers to protest.

Go VOTE.
Democracy is not perfect, it's flawed, and it relies on voters to correct its mistakes.
We have been trying so hard to get a vote. Don't waste it.

Echoing my friend @TomTugendhat: we should ban Confucius institutes, the extended arm of the CCP, in the UK.
Hongkonger & Taiwanese communities here will provide the service for the education of Chinese language & history instead. Let's work on it.

Regardless of intl outcry, Hong Kong Trade Development Council had a now-deleted post encouraging businesses to import computer keyboards into Russia. No wonder Hong Kong has become a shelter for some sanctioned Russian Oligarchs. These behaviors should be exposed and shamed.

The police confirmed that the Hong Kong protestor was dragged inside the consulate area and assaulted; Instead, spokesman from Beijing claimed that he 'illegally entered' the consulate.
This is lying, victim blaming, and disgusting—true nature of CCP. We cannot tolerate it.

I’ve repeatedly stated it: Hong Kong protestors fight against the dictatorial PRC regime, not the Chinese people. We stand in solidarity with brave dissidents in China and overseas. We have the same demands – to elect govts leaders, and determine our futures.

A Hongkonger was dragged into the PRC Consulate and beaten.
If the consulate staff responsible are not held accountable, Hongkongers would live in fear of being kidnapped and persecuted.

Protest in China.
Even though the situation may seem dire, we must believe that the fall of dictators is inevitable. twitter.com/TGTM_Official/…

The Iranian govt supports Russia’s brutal war on Ukraine, suppression of Hong Kong democratic movement, and many other dictators.
Human rights activists should be united and support the Iranian protestors fighting for women's rights and a free country.

These CCP state agents must be scrutinized. It's a worrying sign.
//By using the police “service” stations instead of following formal extradition proceedings, the Chinese government “manages to avoid the growing scrutiny of its human rights record”.//

Meeting with Russian officials, CCP's no.3 official expressed China's support on "important issues." He said it's Russia's national security interest to take "appropriate measures" regarding the Ukraine situation, and China provides support accordingly.

Dictators work together to retain control. The collaboration of Russia and China has never been closer, despite the ongoing Ukraine war. They have pledged to reshape the global order and continue a 'no limits' relationship.
The risks democracies face are enormous.

The Queen's first visit to Hong Kong in May 1975. Years went on, and people still talked about it.
May she rest in peace.

The Queen is loved by millions of Hong Kong people. The thoughts and prayers of us are with The Queen and her family.

For anyone who says there's freedom of speech in Hong Kong -- this is what speech crime looks like.
Tales are not allowed in the city anymore.

You are wrong about this. You are wrong about Taiwan issues.
You have no idea about people's struggles, whose freedoms are threatened.
You have no empathy for the Uyghurs in concentration camps and Ukrainians safeguarding their integrity with all they have.
Shame. @rogerwaters twitter.com/rogerwaters/st…

Non-jury trial is set for one of the most most iconic National Security Law cases. Rule of law is violated, and these defendants are charged because of running in a primary election —what an absurd development. My blessing is with all the defendants, including @joshuawongcf.

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.
