tldr: GUILTY verdict for the first #nationalsecuritylaw case, tried without a jury.
-
Despite evidence of Tong Ying-kit trying to dodge the three policemen to avoid crashing into them, the judges turned white into black and said that he was a terrorist. Despite expert witnesses testifying that a slogan's meaning can be fluid and adapted, the judges found that Tong is inciting a separation of #HongKong from #China. By criminalizing this slogan, the #CCP has effectively set a precedent of criminalizing anyone opposing them in #HK. Are these to be wondered at? No, it's only further proof how #HK's judiciary has been compromised by the #CCP.

This is #terrorism when #CCP literally just received the #Taliban in #Tianjin?! #TongYingkit’s case shows the world that #HongKong’s courts are now a political tool that is no longer independent. The so called #NationalSecurityLaw is weaponized to crackdown on dissent and spread fear.

The happiness of #HongKong athletes shining at the #Olympics sustained us for a few days, before we received wave after wave of bad news: the imprisonment of #TongYingkit, the dissolution of the PTU and CHRF. How did we even get here? The world two years ago seems like a different universe.

Looks like the forced shut down of #AppleDaily, conviction of #TongYingkit under the #nationalsecuritylaw, detention of 47 pro-democracy politicians, their torturous marathon trial etc did not hurt Lord Reed’s “good conscience”. Shameful.

The loss of the right to legal representation is no longer news in #HongKong, we’ve already got the example of the 12 #HK youths abducted by the #CCP in Aug 2020. Now the first defendant of under the #nationalsecuritylaw #TongYingkit has given up appeal as he is not allowed to appoint his own lawyer under the legal aid scheme.

A deeper look into #HongKong’s corrupt judiciary… the scary thing is it doesn’t happen in one day, the decay and degeneration seeped in when people think it’s too far away a prospect to worry about. Don’t let it happen to you. // #CCP #China #ruleoflaw #judiciary #nationalsecuritylaw #UK #TongYingkit #democracy
