Independent news outlets in Hong Kong are closing down one by one. The government is abusing a draconian colonial law that has not been used for more than FIVE decades to prosecute journalists. Please support press freedom in Hong Kong.

In London, Bristol, Manchester, and many cities that Hongkongers congregate in the UK, rallies were held to express solidarity with journalists in Hong Kong and support press freedom.
We are here to remind everyone how fragile freedoms are and the need to defend them by actions.

I've been overwhelmed by all the positive reviews I received on my book "freedom." This review from @melissakchan is one of the most heartfelt and touching.

My advice to organizations with BNO fundings: you SHOULD NOT outreach to Chinese Embassy or relevant institutions to promote your courses or events.
Hongkongers have no trust in these orgs. Instead, the best way is to approach local Hongkonger social media groups or platforms.

The disgusting comment from @chamath , claiming that he and "nobody" cares about what's happening to the Uyghurs.
It's just shameless. It's much more than "lack of empathy" - it's cold blood. twitter.com/EnesFreedom/st…

Thank you so much @NikkeiAsia & @michan_hk for featuring "Freedom." It's indeed a timely reminder to our world how fragile freedoms are and what we need to do to safeguard them.

The only reason why I am a criminal in YOUR (Hong Kong) justice system is that the system is compromised to persecute democratic activists and suppress basic rights.
Obviously, Regina Ip, and many other CCP mouthpieces are propaganda tools. I am a Hongkonger, and will forever be.

In my testimony to the European Parliament, I suggest that the EU🇪🇺 should:
🆘Open more “safe boat” routes for HKers at risk
❌End Extradition treaties with PRC and HK
📝Sanction HK officials
👊Treat PRC as a systemic rival, not a partner when they violate international treaties

A Lunar New Year good news:
Excited that my book “Freedom” is shortlisted in "the Best Political Book by a Non-Parliamentarian" of Parliamentary Book Awards📚
I hope this book reminds us how much we need to do to protect freedom.

An excellent overview on the status of HKers relocated to the UK and what we aim to achieve. We all hope to continue the struggles in different ways.

As a free and independent country, #Ukraine has the autonomy to decide its future and allies. The right to self-determination is also what we #Hongkongers are fighting for. If dictators like Putin advanced and launched a war to get what they want, Xi will be the next to move.

Cannot describe how excited I am to this important initiative. It means a lot to the diasporic Hongkongers community.
Stay tuned. Movies are coming to town.

Not sure why we continue to allow Chinese officials to use the platform they banned in the PRC to spread lies and stigmatization (with an Iphone).
Anyone overlooking the ongoing Crimes Against Humanities in Xinjiang, Tibet and suppression in Hong Kong is the colluder of dictators

1. The documentary “Winter on Fire” has been a documentary Hong Kong protestors are watching. We understand how it feels to have a threatening neighbour and people’s will being suppressed by authoritarian power.
1048
2. We clearly understand one point — if the international community cannot deter dictators from advancing their interests by war, democracy and peace will never prevail. It’s time to act and put the harshest sanctions over those culpable for the invasion.
1049
3. Our Ukrainian friends have been supporting our struggles against dictatorship. It’s time that we support their fight. Talk to your Ukrainian friends, shop Ukrainian products, follow the news, and most importantly, urge the international community to act.
