To those who follow me only for ACG or doujin, I am so sorry for retweeting so much about Hong Kong these days but not something funny or joyful. We face injustice and personal abuse which I cannot imagine few months ago. I am so angry and scared and the situation become worse.
Prominent Hong Kong urologist and pro-democracy politician Kwok Ka-Ki, who was jailed and recently released after serving a 4-year sentence on national security charges, has just announced that he has been stripped of the right to practice medicine in HK.
In his announcement, Dr Kwok mentioned that apart from him, there are teachers who are barred from teaching, social workers who are barred from helping the vulnerable, and lawyers who are barred from practising law.
Dr Kwok’s and my being barred from our respective professions as medical doctor and lawyer are not isolated cases. Hong Kong’s national security crackdown is transforming the city’s professions, and not in a good way.
