#JimmyLai & 6 other people are now facing with more charges for publishing a newspaper.
This is part of #ccppropaganda to threaten #HongKongers not to speak against the #CCP.
It's no coincidence that they are now facing more charges right after everything about #tiananmansquaremassacre being removed from 3 different universities. It's all part of the undertaking to demolish #freedomofspeech in #HongKong.
