The Administrative Manager of Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in London, Yuen Chung Biu, has been arrested and charged under the UK's National Security Law for espionage. A 20-year-old report from the South China Morning Post indicated that Yuen and John Li, who is currently the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, studied together at Charles Sturt University in Australia. When asked about this, Li stated that they appeared together in a graduation photo but emphasized that it was simply a group photo. The Hong Kong government has not commented on Yuen's background or the scrutiny of the London Economic and Trade Office's past expenditures. #YuenChungBiu #NationalSecurityLaw #HongKong

May 14: YouTube will comply with a Hong Kong court ruling to block access to 32 links of the song "Glory to Hong Kong." The decision raises concerns about the government's commitment to digital economy and business stability. YouTube expressed disappointment and plans to consider an appeal to promote information flow. This is not the first instance of content restriction; tech companies like Google have complied with Chinese laws. The video block for Hong Kong viewers will take immediate effect. #YouTube #HongKong #Censorship

"In the rain, Taiwanese and Hong Kongers unite. They brave the downpour, holding signs that say 'Drenched to the toes but never giving up,' reminiscent of the 1.7 million-strong Hong Kong rally on August 18, 2019. Carrying yellow umbrellas and supplies from Apple Daily, they come to show their support. Along the way, people assist in carrying the items, understanding the importance of standing against the evil law for freedom. He is an organizer of the solidarity gathering, witnessing the transformation from being a spectator during the Sunflower Movement ten years ago to actively participating now. His emotions are mixed, feeling touched but also wary. He believes that Taiwan's democracy will continue to progress after the Sunflower Movement, but recent events reflect potential setbacks or the exploitation of the democratic system."

On this day in 2019, during the anti-extradition protests in Hong Kong, police fired rubber bullets and bean bag rounds at demonstrators, marking the first time such force was used. The government labeled the protests as a "riot." The clashes erupted as the Legislative Council was set to debate the controversial extradition bill. The violence resulted in injuries, including a teacher losing 97.5% vision in one eye. Several individuals were subsequently charged and received prison sentences for their involvement. #AntiExtraditionProtests #HongKong #ExtraditionBill #PoliceViolence #Injustice

Former Australian Chief Justice Anthony Mason, who supports the retention of overseas judges in Hong Kong's Court of Final Appeal, strongly rejects the attacks on former UK Supreme Court judge Jonathan Sumption's character by the Hong Kong government and Chinese authorities. Mason describes Sumption as a highly respected judge. Regarding Sumption's comments on the impact of the national security law on Hong Kong's rule of law, Mason believes that even if judges disagree with the law's provisions, including finding them harsh or violating human rights, they must still apply the law if it is valid. #JudicialIndependence #JonathanSumption #AnthonyMason #OverseasJudges #RuleOfLaw #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw

Hirano Uryu's denial of entry into Hong Kong further highlights the significant deterioration of freedom in the city. The restrictions on individuals expressing their views and commemorating events like the tragic incident involving Leung Kin-fai demonstrate the shrinking space for dissent and the erosion of fundamental rights. The situation underscores the concerns raised by many regarding the diminishing freedoms and the impact of national security legislation in Hong Kong. #FreedomOfExpression #DeterioratingFreedom #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw
