1. Let me tell you what has happened to Hong Kong's top university students, who were charged with "advocating terrorism," and you will realize how dictatorial Hong Kong has become. Bails are denied and they could face years in prison.
902
3. Beijing is using the pretext of "terrorism" to frame and suppress all grievances and opposition directed towards the government. Following the imprisonment of legislators and the forced dissolution of the major civil society groups, students are the next to be targeted.
903
2. They have suffered so much as a result of a Student Union motion. In the motion, they have offered their condolences to a person who stabbed a police. That may not be appropriate, but that's definitely not "advocating terrorism." It's way below the threshold.
904
4. The Hong Kong government sees our younger and vocal generations as terrorists, while police violence is neglected or even praised by the authorities. What kind of a government is this?

Never forget how the Hong Kong police terrorized and assaulted citizens two years ago. Full-geared special force rushed to the station and attacked passengers indiscriminately. Many were severely injured, yet no officers are held accountable. It's an eternal scar in HKers' heart.

Democracy was a cherished dream in Hong Kong. Over the years, we have seen the repeated efforts of activists, lawmakers, colleagues, friends, and loved ones fight to save the Hong Kong they love. We cannot let their efforts go in vain.

The Arts Center said it might endanger public order or public safety, which is totally ungrounded. It’s just a convenient excuse for the government to conduct political censorship.

I believe the young should have ideals. To be able to imagine a better home, and one that is more reflective of our own values and those of today and not the past, is an important freedom of youth. As students we don’t yet have many of the responsibilities of later life, ...

Freedoms are lost by unjustifiable red lines, and more so by not knowing where the red lines are drawn. China’s definition of what constitutes a threat to ‘national security’ is deliberately obscure. The result is a people who never know what exactly they are allowed to ...

Sports deepen bonds. Yesterday, a group of Hongkongers in UK enjoyed a friendly match with Labour MPs and staff. It’s crucial for us to continue spreading our words. We had a lot of fun -- thanks for the amazing performance by @SKinnock & @justinmadders.

1. The CCP issued a "(false) fact sheet" that accused US for interference activities and repeated their propaganda language claimig that HK protests are staged by foreign powers. As the most named individual in it, I will see it as a badge of honor rather than being shamed.
921
2. Standing up for democracy and speaking up for our fellow Hongkongers are not shameful. The regime that brutally suppresses the legitimate demands of Hong Kong should be ashamed.
We fight for what we deserve and we raise our demands. -END

I'm always ready to advocate the democratic rights of Hongkongers and urge the world to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable. It's been a year since I last visited Washington D.C. -- I'm grateful for the support I've received from policymakers and members of Congress.

It's absolutely disgusting for the shameless @hkpoliceforce, which is part of the authoritarian force that crushes democratic demands from Hongkongers, to quote Gandhi.
These people must have forgotten how the peaceful protestors were badly hurt by their violence.
