One year ago, #CCPChina🇨🇳 forcefully shut down Apple Daily, a newspaper that provided a voice for HongKongers.
The forced closure of #AppleDaily🍎 effectively marks the death of press freedom in #HongKong. twitter.com/Stand_with_HK/…

She was loved for standing up to China. She may die in jail.
The story of Claudia Mo is also that of 🇨🇳Beijing’s tightening grip on #HongKong

The sinking of Hong Kong’s iconic Jumbo Floating Restaurant into the South China Sea is a metaphor for the sinking of #HongKong’s civil society, and along with it our dreams of a free and democratic city.

Three years ago in #HongKong. On June 16th, 2019, 2 million HongKongers took to the streets.
Time-lapse of 2 million marchers in a city with a population of 7 million. This means 2/7 of the entire Hong Kong population came out that day to protest.

Do not go gentle into that good night
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Just 3 years ago, on 6/12, 3 days after a million person march in #HongKong, the HK govt started to use brute force to end protests, firing 150 rounds of tear gas (which seemed a lot back then), and labeling protesters as ‘rioters’
612 is the day when HongKongers finally woke up

“Films can record history, but they can also change history. I insisted on releasing it now to confront the current political environment. This is the power of film.”

‼️ Together with HongKongers around the world, SWHK calls for Overseas Non-Permanent Judges sitting on the #HongKong Court of Final Appeal to resign. The presence of foreign judges only serves to lend legitimacy to the authoritarian regime.
