For 25 years, the soaring “Pillar of Shame” stood on the HKU campus to honor victims of the #TiananmenSquareMassacre. #HongKong🇨🇳 removed our monument, and removed a part of our history. The artist behind the work, @Galschiot, unveiled a replica of “Pillar of Shame” in Norway:
‘Daughter of #HongKong’ Makes Last Stand on Tiananmen Massacre—From a Court Dock Courtrooms are the main venue left for HK lawyer @zouxingtong to keep alive memories of the events of 1989, as the city erases statues and other memorials. @xinwenfan @yuenok wsj.com/articles/daugh…
What #BennyTai wanted for #HongKong? As much democracy and freedom as possible. Is that a crime? twitter.com/hkdc_us/status…
The Xinjiang Police Files Unprecedented evidence from internal police networks in #CCPChina🇨🇳’s #Xinjiang region proves prison-like nature of re-education camps, shows top Chinese leaders’ direct involvement in the mass internment campaign. xinjiangpolicefiles.org twitter.com/adrianzenz/sta…
Finding A New Home After Leaving Hong Kong is a documentary that tracks the lives of a #HongKong family who left for the UK, and intimately captures the ups and downs in their endeavour. My favourite scene is about the daughter adapting to her new school: youtu.be/bJn3J_PPFGE
Lord Chris Patten, the Last Governor of Hong Kong, gave a talk at SIAF in Zurich about “China and how its economic rise affected the new world order” Near the end of the talk, a #HongKong lady asked him to give an honest advice to people still in HK. Here’s his answer (Part 1):
#HongKong🇨🇳 has plummeted down an international press freedom chart after the enactment of the National Security Law to silence critical news outlets and jail journalists, according to a new report published by Reporters Without Borders. Graphic: koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20…
Why is #CCPChina🇨🇳 afraid of a 90-year-old Catholic bishop? @MarkSimonHK washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/…
The 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund provided support for the injured and arrested in the #HongKong protests. The arrest of Dr. Po-Keung Hui at the airport, before arresting the remaining fund trustees afterwards on NSL charges, proves that there’s a list of people who cannot leave.
Calling John Lee the “Chief Executive-elect” of #HongKong🇨🇳 makes it sound like he was actually elected.

A #HongKong student gets 5-year jail sentence for posting popular protest slogans like “Liberate HK, Revolution of Our Time” and “HK Independence, The Only Way Out” on a Telegram channel. Another young person’s life ruined by the National Security Law 🇨🇳. reuters.com/world/china/ho…
