The visa refusal of @HongKongFP editor @aaronMCN is the latest example of freedom of the press coming under pressure post-NSL.
The world must stand up so this fundamental right is protected.

"Now as foreign secretary it is time for @DominicRaab to implement those sanctions against figures involved with repression in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. Dirty money & assets held in the UK must be frozen to send a clear signal that we will not tolerate violations of human rights." twitter.com/LaylaMoran/sta…

"Carrie Lam claims this law is just about a small minority of troublemakers, but she actually wants to ensure that all Hong Kongers, and all political dissent is silenced, and if it is not then people are vulnerable. That is what is so dangerous."

The postponement of the LegCo elections is totally unnecessary and an assault on freedoms.
When Singapore held their elections, their daily case number was 4 times higher than Hong Kong's is currently. The Hong Kong Government should reconsider their decision.
