"With many of the NSL cases being escalated to the High Court, some of HK’s leading democrats now face a minimum of ten years in jail. Their crimes? Writing news editorials or standing in primary elections. It is appallingly unjust." | @Johnny_HKWatch

hongkongfp.com/2021/07/30/bre… Responding to the 9 year NSL sentence for Tong Ying-kit, @benedictrogers said: "Given the upcoming show trials of Hong Kong's leading democratic voices under the National Security Law, this sentencing sets a grim precedent and is totally disproportionate."

"The arrest of Grandma Wong is the latest assault on democracy and free expression in Hong Kong. It appears it is now a crime for pensioners to hold a protest sign at a pedestrian crossing."@benedictrogers hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/2021…

After a week of attacks on HK's judiciary & despite a judge concluding Jimmy Lai is not a flight risk, today the HK Court of Final Appeal has given into pressure & revoked his bail until Feb 2021. The highest court in HK has now bowed to the draconian National Security Law. twitter.com/jooeysiiu/stat…

The US have today sanctioned further officials for the mass arrests in Hong Kong.
It is time for other countries to join them. These sanctions will be most effective with multilateral action from 🇪🇺🇬🇧🇳🇿🇦🇺🇨🇦🇯🇵 and more.
The world must stand together with Hong Kong. twitter.com/jooeysiiu/stat…

This #worldpressfreedomday2021, we stand in solidarity with all journalists in Hong Kong living under the repressive new National Security Law regime.
The NSL has brought unprecedented pressure on journalists and a new atmosphere of self-censorship.

Nearly 30,000 Hongkongers apply to move to UK. Applications numbers swell as China's crackdown on the former British colony intensifies.
As the UK is still in lockdown, it seems likely the numbers will increase in the coming months. | @louisemoon94

Only days after Beijing were vindicated in their view that hostage diplomacy works with the case of the two Michaels, it is alarming and disturbing that @FCDOGovUK cannot give greater reassurances to international activists working to speak up for Hong Kong and for the Uyghurs.

"But if the authorities can strip Mr. Lai of his assets based on a non-judicial order, then no private contract is safe. The asset seizure seems wholly arbitrary. Any shareholder in any company who offends Beijing on political grounds is vulnerable."
