You can see how unlawful the police are: they used baton to smash arrested protesters lying on the ground vengefully.
That’s why we need independent investigation on their violence: they are acting with impunity now.

Finally. After 5 years of hard work, we made it happen. Thank you for the protestors on the ground in HK.

A Hong Kong political prisoner who has been jailed for more than 450days drew this sign to stand with #Myanmar. We all fight for freedom. We are one. twitter.com/WWHK2014/statu…

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!

There are no institutions in Hong Kong that can hold the police accountable. They can fire live rounds to a BAREHANDED protestor without any consequences.
That’s why we need HK Human Rights Act that carries deterrence effect. NO ONE should be shot. NEVER.

It was so touching to hear our Thai fellows chanting for Hong Kong.
"คืนเอกราชให้ฮ่องกง" (Kuen A-Ka-Rhat Hai Hong Kong) -- It means "return independence to Hong Kong."
People fighting for democracy and autonomy should support each other.

On his way to the court from prison, @joshuawongcf hold up 3 fingers and a gesture of heart. He is one of the bravest and most sturdy democratic activists that I have ever met. I think his heart and minds are occupied by the struggles around the world, including in #Myanmar.

The night after the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act is passed, #Hongkong people gathered and celebrated this bitter victory amid the prolonged movement. The bill is a thanksgiving present for HongKong—it encourages us to keep fighting for democracy.

[ 🇫🇷 My letter to President @EmmanuelMacron]
Yesterday, I appealed to the President of France Macron to raise concerns over the human rights violation in Hong Kong with Chinese FM Wang Yi.
It’s important that the democracies stand together and defend democratic values.

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.

In the meantime, lots of freedom-loving French fellow people staged a demonstration in Paris to #StandWithHongKong and oppose #nationalsecuritylaw.

Four years ago, I was elected as the youngest legislator in HK at 23. A year later, the govt unjustly ejected me from the council . Now I am an exiled activist that narrates the story of HK, with larger impact than before. Short term defeat doesn't count -- your persistance does

A #Mulan who supports state violence and police brutality is not representing the true spirits of this character: brave, assertive and dedicated. #Disney made a wrong call and now people #BoycottMulan.
67
This is a COMPLETELY WRONG comparison. The protestors in Hong Kong are fighting for legitimate demands of democracy and freedom. They stormed into a symbol of autocracy and political persecution. I don't think you want to equate the congress in Hong Kong to the US. twitter.com/willripleyCNN/…
68
Why we should #BoycottMulan? It’s about hypocrisy. In Hollywood movies, they claim to embrace social justice. In fact, they kowtow to autocratic China disgracefully. They shamed themselves by upholding values they don’t even believe in. Movies, should be more than money.

Dear Friends and the world:
Now Hong Kong is a genuine police state. Dialogue is merely a decoration. Undercover police are beating protesters and using firearms.

1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.

If you don’t understand how serious it is, try to imagine it happened at WallStreet — billionaires are all over and still get teargased or hit by tear gas canisters. Is that the financial city that you want? twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

I hereby declare withdrawing from demosisto, and continue the fight for democracy and freedom for Hong Kong with my personal capacity.
Stay strong, my friends. Hong Kong people will not give up.

Three years ago, I was imprisoned due to my leadership role in Umbrella Movement. Everything was so uncertain — a month ago I was a parliamentarian, then i turned into a cellmate. But I always know that we are for the right cause and justice, we can overcome any hurdles.

I hereby urge the international community to react very STRONGLY to this gross election fraud and damage to the political rights of people.SANCTIONS on Carrie Lam, the chief architect of the DQs, and the RETURNING OFFICERS who arbitrarily deprived people's right to run are needed

Speaking live with @MarshaBlackburn moments ago on IG, we addressed Beijing’s ongoing #HongKong crackdown, including the arrests of several student activists under the new NSL in just the past few hours alone. We mustn’t lose sight on this troubling, rapidly-changing situation.
