.@benedictrogers: "Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi isn’t usually my source of inspiration. But he gave me an idea. He warned Norway not to give Hongkongers the Nobel Peace Prize – which is precisely why Hong Kong should receive the prize this year."

Today should have been Hong Kong's election day.
Instead, it was unnecessarily postponed, and there have been scores more unjust arrests. twitter.com/SamGoodman22/s…

The use of broadly defined sedition charges to charge an opposition politician for using protest slogans is a clear and unacceptable breach of international human rights norms.

We call on the Chinese government to ensure that there is due process in this case, and that every HKer in jail is treated with dignity. They should face trial in HK. #save12hkyouths

"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…

Joshua Wong's arrest is the latest example of political prosecution in Hong Kong. Beijing, and their counterparts in HKG, are waging a campaign of lawfare, abusing courts to silence their political opponents and create an atmosphere of self-censorship.

Joshua is right to remind the world that it is important that the case of 12 young activists detained in mainland China is not forgotten today. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…

The 12 young people from Hong Kong have been denied access to their lawyers or contact their family for a month.
It is unacceptable that they have been denied this basic right.
International governments should be pressing China to treat them with dignity.
