A student activist has sent out an urgent plea on FB - National Security staff (as they so claim) were at his home in Yuen Long and just made an arrest. On site info says he was arrested at 2150 for instigating crime against national security

Grainy photos are starting to emerge on Telegram purporting to show 19-year-old Tony Chung (鍾翰林), former convenor of HK pro-democracy group @studentlocalism being arrested by state security agents (de facto secret police) on suspicion of inciting secession. 1984 is here & now.
And so it begins.
Beijing Secret Police are now arresting people under the nefarious "National Security Law".
Urgent response needed from @DominicRaab@UKinHongKong
White terror, politics of fear dispersed in Hong Kong under National Security Law. This is the first case that an individual is arrested on the doorstep under #NSL. It targets activists and quashes freedom of expression of HK people. Please be aware of it.
This is immensely serious. The engagement of foreign judges in #HongKong has guaranteed the independence of its judicial system. Parts must not simply be removed. Beijing bans Hong Kong judges in treason trials

Reported by @appledaily_hk, a case involving a girl living in a Police Quarter suspected to be helping in transporting ketamine.
Department of Justice insists to withdraw the charge despite the judge said it's likely to be guilty in view of the evidence. #PoliceState
To Hong Kong freedom loving people, you should expect both sanctions against evildoers in both China and Hong Kong + revocation of the Hong Kong Policy Act in @SecPompeo's recommendations. Thank you Sec. Pompeo for #StandWithHongKong!
[Sanction red capital, dual-used tech and white glove
companies as the way to send a warning signal to China]
1/ @Reuters and @business Bloomberg just confirmed that the US is likely to sanction China if it approves the hugely controversial bill that damages HK's autonomy.
