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.

The trials of pro-democracy activists such as #JimmyLai and #LeeCheukyan are pretty much pre-concluded, but the court is also an occasion where #ChowHangtung talks about what commemorating the #Tiananmen Massacre means to her and to #HongKong. For many years, the pan-democrats have been criticised for being overly ceremonial and neglecting the substance of rallies, Chow was here to tell #HongKongers that beliefs can be manifested in different ways, or as long as they are in our hearts, they may not need to be manifested at all. Be water.

Dear #HongKongers, we really hope that not all news are bad news. We hope this cheer you up a bit (although we all know that most likely they will not get the prize), but it's some form of recognition eh?

Ha-ha, #CCP, very funny. Classic ccp #nationalsecurity logic: we’re accusing you of colluding with foreign forces, we won’t tell u which foreign forces you are colluding with, now prove yourself innocent or ur jailed for 10 years.
