BREAKING:
Dozens of winners of 2020 #HongKong pro-democracy primaries, such as Lester Shum, Ventus Lau, Fergus Leung and Gwyneth Ho, have been arrested under the National Security Law.
Worse still, there is #NO presumption of innocence under the #NSL.
BREAKING: Mass disqualifications of democratic candidates in #HongKong happening right now.
Another hammer-blow to Hong King’s autonomy.
“Lifeboat” policies have clearly been inadequate to curb Beijing’s bullying. It’s time for coordinated sanctions.
The list is as follows. Some "mild" candidates are also barred. No just those who are being named as "national enemies"
Lester Shum
Dennis Kwok
Alvin Yeung
Kwok Ka-ki
Cheng Tat-hung
Alvin Cheung
Tiffany Yuen
Joshua Wong
Fergus Leung
Gwenyth Ho
Ventus Lau
Kenneth Leung
12 pro-democracy legislative council candidates are disqualified TODAY. MORE to come tmr. Most of the candidates from the camp are expected to be barred. The govt is constructing a CCP assembly in Legco to eliminate most of the opposition voice. Outrageous.
