Caption's a bit long due to the gravity of #HK's situation so we thank you in advance for reading it all!

Last week, #ChowHangtung has been arrested again for "inciting subversion", a made-up crime often used to persecute activists in #China, but used the first time in #HongKong. It's supposed to generate much greater noise in a normal universe, but sadly, in reality, we can barely keep up with the absurd oppression happening every day.

This letter dates back to July 2021, when she was arrested and detained for a much less "serious" charge - "inciting unauthorized assembly" (what even does that mean? freedom of assembly is a human right). She wrote about activism in a heavily cracked down Hong Kong, and how, despite knowing the difficulty, she kept applying for bail every 8 days to make a statement, that she is not kowtowing to #CCP. She's now detained under the sham "#nationalsecuritylaw" and once again denied bail.
