"Is limited freedom really freedom?" asked Lorie Lai, union chairperson during mitigation, Judge Kwok Wai-kin immediately shuts her down by saying that political statements are now allowed. His trial of this case is itself a poignant political statement. // #freedomofspeech #speechtherapy #sedition #hongkong #ccp #nationalsecuritylaw
Snubbing a cardinal who stands up for #humanrights and begging a murderer who allows churches to be burned, just… wow. #Vatican #PopeFrancis #JosephZen #nationalsecuritylaw #hongkong #china #ccp
We're laughing but it's actually not funny. The simplest expression of playing a song in #HongKong is now criminal, and so are thoughts. #CCP is also moving quickly on wiping our history, renaming our schools and streets and institutions in the name of "de-colonization". Public opinion? It has no part to play.

#LizTruss is playing the #China card. Not to say that her points are invalid, but we will have to see if there will be actual action now that she is PM, and how long she could last in the position.

Also, crackdowns have been going on in #HongKong for literally years. #UK has been saying that the #SinoBritishJointDeclaration is legally binding and that #CCP has broken it, so, where's the legal action to hold them responsible? #HongKongers are very grateful for the lifeboats, but let's not pretend that's an adequate response to CCP's brutal breach of an international contract. We haven't even mentioned the atrocities in #Xinjiang and #Tibet, and military threats in #Taiwan yet.

This is not a post recounting the details of the #UmbrellaRevolution so much as what it stood for and how it informed the #fightforfreedom in #HongKong. For years, #HKers had been struggling to defend our rights and values from the #CCP. The #UmbrellaMovement in 2014 was for many an awakening to the root cause of the social problems in #HK - the lack of a popularly mandated government as ours was (and is) but a #Beijing puppet.

The experience of 2014 produced the now much more mainstream indigenous ideology and inspired new protest tactics in 2019. Hong Kong has never stopped evolving to cope with challenges and does not intend to stop now. "Be water", the city-wide pro-democracy movement in 2019 taught us, even though it may be dark and the suffering ahead seem endless, don't lose heart. We will remember who we are, what we stand for, persevere and outlive the tyrant.

Is this for real?! TLDR: #CCP literally has no respect left for international diplomatic code, or anything for that matter.

1. Has #China got extraterritorial jurisdiction in the #UK now?
2. Is 🇬🇧 going to do anything about it other than saying they respect our freedom of speech?
3. Hope the protester recovers 🤕 And look after yourselves, y'all going to anti-CCP protests.

Where's the future of #HongKong? In the #MiddleEast perhaps! #CCP's puppet government has lectured the audience to "understand #China".

1- when the #ccp #surveillance is carried out overseas and then the draconian #nationalsecuritylaw is used to threaten people … should the #unitedkingdom @ukgovofficial do something?
2- You are probably safe as long as you are overseas, but please think carefully before you wanna go back to #HK.

Landmark #nationalsecuritylaw trials have started in #HongKong. #CCP using #HK’s corrupted judicial system to impose its twisted narrative on HK history. People’s wish for self determination is to be criminalised as “sedition”. Courts = puppets, it’s not just 47 on trial, but everyone in Hong Kong who ever supported the fight for freedom. #China #beijing
