As the debate on whether District Councillors should take the oath of "being loyal to the government" versus resign rages on, #TiffanyYuen, the district councillor of Tin Wan has been disqualified by the government. #CCP's puppet government has absolutely no respect for the 4192 votes she got. On the other hand, the welfare of her district still weighs heavily on Yuen's mind, even as she is detained in Lo Wu, the northern-most part of #HongKong as opposed to her home and constituents in the Southern District...

"We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness" is faith that bond #HongKongers together. The convenor of Civil Human Rights Front, Figo Chan, who is now imprisoned for organizing the annual July 1st march, implores #HKers to hold the fort and not be silenced.

There's been a lot of talk (and action) of leaving #HongKong lately, we have seen photo after photo of coiling queues at the #HongKong airport check-in desk and teary goodbyes at the departure hall. U, a protester who is now serving prison terms for fighting for the future of Hong Kong, has something to say to both those who decided to leave, and those who decided to stay.

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.

Civil rights groups were dismantled one after another by #CCP. Does that mean everything we have done was flushed down the drain? “Ideas are really bulletproof. Even #China has human rights lawyers,” said Ah Kwan, currently imprisoned for fighting for freedom in 2019. But after such ideas take roots in people’s hearts, what else can we do?
