Dear @hkpoliceforce, as your arrests couldn’t get any more farcical, I think you need to arrest Junius Ho, seen here colluding with foreign forces (me).
Look how delighted he is. Clear evidence.
The arrests of @hka8964 make it crystal clear: Beijing’s crackdown has never been about “national security.” It’s always been about preventing democracy from taking root in #China. The #CCP is waging an ideological struggle against freedom. We must fight back. #StandWithHongKong
@DominicRaab@StuartKLau We need sanctions to hold the Chinese Communist Party 🇨🇳 accountable for its material breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration - an international treaty lodged in the UN.
Today's arrests of members of the Hong Kong Alliance are another chilling demonstration of how the National Security Law is being used by Beijing to dismantle civil society and stifle political dissent in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong: police arrest senior members of group that organised Tiananmen vigils.
Chow Hang-tung, a barrister and organiser of the Hong Kong Alliance, wrote on Twitter ‘Any farewell words for me?’ before she was detained. https://t.co/Cx5wknf7Ad
This attack is likely yet another example of the #CCP using violence to silence their critics and those seeking to hold them accountable for human rights abuses in #HongKong.
We will continue to do our part in Congress to defend Hong Kong’s democracy.

Very honored to receive such a nice #postcard all the way from #HongKong. I promise that I will continue to #StandWithHongKong and fight for their rights! 💪🏼
NEW: @DominicRaab response to letter from 63 MPs / Peers, led by @DavidAltonHL & facilitated by @hk_watch:
👉UK are "deeply concerned" by case of #12hkyouths, raised it on a "number of occasions"
👉 UK will "lobby" for BNOs when rights are at risk, but not offer consular help.
We condemn the Chinese-controlled Hong Kong Police Force’s arrest of three student democracy activists and call for the immediate release of those that remain detained.
