“It's important that world continues to pay attention to Hong Kong, because the erosion of freedom in HK is the reflection of the aggressiveness and authoritarian expansion of #CCPChina🇨🇳, and it will eventually put at risk every country in the world, including democratic ones.”
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.
