This video is insane. Many reports that some police are advancing on #PolyU with lethal weapons + police chief has requested official permission for their use.
Carrie Lam’s Tiananmen may well be a university campus.
The world is watching.
#StandWithHongKong
Many first aiders at #PolyU conducting humanitarian assistance are being locked down in the campus and facing attacks. The police have been arresting them to prevent proper medical treatment for people in need.
This is War Crime. Stop raiding in PolyU and let all to leave safely.
In #HongKong, government police continue their assault on universities into the night, making mass arrests and now threatening live fire against largely defenseless students. Beijing is pushing Hong Kong into a state of siege #StandWithHongKong https://t.co/88poKjgKt8
Mainland #China soldiers appearing on #HongKong streets now. Bad development - Beijing about to escalate further? #HongKongProtests https://t.co/9MErNXkbHc
Let's be clear: the violence is being escalated by the #HongKongPolice & their violent crackdown. Millions of Hong Kongers have been risking their lives for democracy.
They need unequivocal support & warnings of economic consequences, not "both sides" nonsense from @SecPompeo
Tell Regina Ip: 1) it's too little & too late b/c nobody can stop the Senate's #HKHRDA passage, not even pro🇨🇳lobbyists. 2) #HKHRDA is only 1 of many bills targeting her Beijing puppet masters. 3) She is still on my sanction recommendation list. 4) We will lobby 4 sanctions next.
The world needs to see that the U.S. will stand up and tell the #CCP that what they are doing to the people of #HongKong is wrong. @SenRubioPress and I have just initiated the process to quickly pass our #HongKongHumanRightsandDemocracyAct in the Senate. https://t.co/Ouvt3GPgiL
Thank you @senatemajldr for your commitment to helping the people of #HongKong in their fight for freedom and human rights.
We’re working to get the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act done. We need to be a unified voice supporting the people of HK.
I was encouraged by a productive conversation with @MarcoRubio yesterday on legislation to further help the people of Hong Kong. The Senate needs to stand with Hong Kong and I hope we can take action soon.
