52 Korean Civil Society Organizations Denounce the Arrest of Pro-Democracy Figures by Hong Kong Police: “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"
//...freedom of assembly and association and freedom of expression are basic human rights that must be guaranteed.
We also express our deep concern that the arrest of pro-democracy activists by Hong Kong police could aggravate the social division and confusion at a time when governments and citizens must cooperate to fight the global disaster situation of COVID-19.
...“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,” the injustice occurring in Hong Kong is, after all, a threat to justice that should be guarded by democratic societies around the world.
Therefore, we will continue to stand in solidarity with the Hong Kong citizens’ peaceful resistance toward democracy till the end. We strongly urge the Hong Kong government to immediately cease its unjust and arbitrary arrests of pro-democracy activists.//

Furious Chinese Netizens over City Lockdown posts National Anthem "Rise Up" to Protest, and are Promptly Blocked on Weibo
With the widespread of #Omicron in Shanghai, the Chinese government is responding with a tougher stain on the lockdown of the city, leading to public discontent and resistance.
Many Chinese netizens used the first line of the national anthem, "Rise up! Those refuse to be slaves", as a hashtag and posted it on #Weibo to express their anger. This was blocked by Weibo later on, which is ridiculously tantamount to making the national anthem a forbidden word.
It was found later, after searching on Weibo, that the national anthem is still searchable, but the search results would be blanked if the keyword is a hashtag of the national anthem.
This is not the first time China has banned its national anthem. Back in the early days of the #COVID19 outbreak in #Wuhan, when 'whistle blower' Dr. Li Wenliang died, Douban.com banned the lyrics of the same song for "containing radical current affairs or ideology".

Hongkongers set up a Facebook page to make fun of the Chief Executive hopeful's poor writing skill
Although most people in Hong Kong seldom pay much attention to the small-circle Chief Executive election, the substandard writing skill of the sole candidate, John Lee Ka-chiu, did stir up discussions and local people's interests.
In recent days, netizens created a public page on Facebook, titled "Daily Watch over Lee Ka-chiu's Chinese Writing Standard".
The page took a twisted approach to show "concerns" over this year's one-candidate-CE election.
It edited and even gave scores to the official posts on Lee's election page on Facebook.
Many of Lee's posts have seen heavily edited in red so that the language becomes more proper and readable.
To many people's surprise, Lee's election team actually took on many of these edits and amended their original writing.
Ah Chiu, (Pseudo name), administrator of the "Daily Watch" page expressed that since Lee failed to provide an election manifesto when he launched his election campaign, nor has he made meaningful contact with local citizens, his substandard writing skill, is perhaps, the only thing that people could remember.
