5 years ago, on June 26, 2019, tens of thousands of #HongKongers gathered to call on the G20 to support our struggle for freedom & democracy. HK's situation today is dire but we all still carry within us the sense of agency, community & togetherness from those days. #FreeHongKong
Tsang Chi-kin, shot point-blank by police at a Oct 1, 2019 protest when he was 18, has been sentenced to a total of 47 months in prison for riot & assaulting police, then absconding for 2 years after the near-fatal incident. A truly tragic #HongKong story.

UK authorities have discontinued prosecution of Gong Cheng, one of the assailants of #HongKongers in Southampton after a June 11 HK rally. This will further undermine HKers' confidence in the UK gov't's willingness to counter #CCP#TransnationalRepression.

US-sanctioned John Lee has compared the 8 exiled #HongKongers his gov't has issued arrest warrants & bounties on to "street rats" (過街老鼠) that should be avoided. Yet another reason why we HKers in the US demand @POTUS#BarJohnLee from entering the US to attend APEC in November
