Several pro-democracy parties were disbanded as the #NationalSecurityLaw was announced in #HongKong on 6/30. I admire #HongKongers who still go out to protest. 30 have been arrested.
UN independent #humanrights experts call for decisive measures to protect fundamental freedoms in #China, incl. Hong Kong SAR. They denounce "the repression of protest and democracy advocacy in #HongKong, and impunity for excessive use of force by police."

The Chinese Communist Party is silencing free expression in Hong Kong.
Today, the US Senate affirmed the #CCP’s HK national security law would violate Beijing’s commitment to grant HK autonomy.

The @hkpoliceforce is totally out of control & using excessive force violating international standards. The remaining trapped students at #PolyU must be allowed to escape without facing a barrage of tear gas and police brutality #StandWithHongKong#ProtectHKStudents
The #HongKong government and police must de-escalate the situation—not use lethal force against universities and peaceful protestors.
Lives—and Hong Kong’s future—are on the line.
Working with my colleagues to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act! #PolyU
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
I condemn the campaign against protesters at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which represents a significant escalation by the authorities.
The United States must #StandWithHongKong and hold the Chinese government accountable for repression. The whole world is watching.
