1. 47 democratic activists are charged with "conspiracy to subvert state power" and will appear in court tomorrow. All of them are remanded in custody.
It's heartbroken to witness such massive persecution. Let me explain what has happened and why it's an insult towards democracy

The police are arresting school kids on the way to their school. They are destroying our next generations.

This talk is a reminder: Protest in Hong Kong is not over yet. We fight for democracy and autonomy promised by Beijing in an international treaty. We need to hold China accountable. They have to play by the international rules if they want to joshuareap the benefits.

"In the U.S. we've already seen the change(structural change in terms of China policy), but in Europe and the U.K. the change is happening. So I think my presence and my arrival could facilitate that change."

My take on #HUAWEI ban. The world should know that these mega Chinese state companies serve the interest of the Chinese Communist Party.
We need to #HoldChinaAccountable.

Rare scenes of protest in Hong Kong emerged: a group of citizens gathered in Central, the busiest commercial area, and held blank papers. Police arrived and protestors' IDs were marked. It's been a long time since protests are staged in the streets after NSL.

The Hong Kong community in the Netherlands has been doing a lot of good work to support our movement, including today’s protest against the Wang Yi visit there. If you haven’t already, please follow @NLForHK 👇 twitter.com/NLForHK/status…

In #HongKong,
📢Chant #FreeHongKong
🏴Wave #RevolutionNow flag
🗳Participate in #Primaries
🎙Conduct #interviews with foreign media
✍️Tweet to #criticize China
all can be seen as “threatening” "national security" and sent to jail for life.
Hypocratic #CCP calls it a “free city.”

Universal truth, from a group of students at the Tiananmen Square in Beijing, 1989.
No dictatorship. Democracy now.

Today, 500 political police raided Apple Daily, the most critical newspaper in Hong Kong. The editor-in-chief is arrested for “collusion with foreign forces.”
Independent journalism in HK is a crime and threatens China's "national security." How fragile is the country?

🗳️Cast your vote❗️
After the passage of the "Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act" on the House floor, should the Senate pass it as soon as possible?
Tag your Senator and get their answers!

Looks like someone does not want me to read their posts. Maybe it’s because they just can’t handle critics?
Twitter should set up a rule: officials from a country that bans Twitter are not allowed to use the service.
That makes the internet cleaner.

Pro- democracy camp now is having a landslide victory in the district council election. It reflects the support for democracy and the resentment towards the govt.
Democracy Now!

Criticizing CCP’s human rights violations is NOT racist. Locking Uyghurs in concentration camps, banning their religious practices ARE.
Anti-racism promotes diversity and empathy, and CCP values none. Demanding an open society in China is what matters, not silencing critics.

BREAKING:
3 pistol shots were fired to a BAREHANDED protestor by a policeman. No imminent danger was experienced by the police. News says that 2 youngsters were shot.

I have issued an open letter appealing to countries — #Australia, #Finland, #Germany, the #Netherlands, #NewZealand, the #UK, and the #US — that have signed extradition treaties with Hong Kong to suspend such arrangements. Hong Kong no longer enjoys the rule of law.

My view on the protest today --
“It’s like a de facto curfew now,” said Nathan Law, a prominent pro-democracy advocate.
“I think the government has to understand why people are really angry,” he added. asiatimes.com/2020/05/hk-pol…

The political reform imposed by Beijing to Hong Kong is in effect degrading the election to SELECTION. Beijing vets out all the pro-Democracy candidates and most of the seats in Legco are reserved for them without election.
The system has lost all credibility.

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.

1. After several interviews in 4 months, the Home Office has informed me that my asylum application is approved. The fact that I am wanted under the National Security Law shows that I am exposed to severe political persecution and am unlikely to return to Hong Kong without risk.

1. It's too dangerous for a Hong Kong political dissident to travel to Thailand. In 2016, Joshua was detained at the airport when he tried to give a speech there. I was so worried he would be abducted just like the bookseller, which we may not be able to see him again.
