As a global pandemic brought life in many cities to a halt this year, the ground beneath Hong Kong shifted at an astonishing speed, courtesy of sweeping legislation imposed by Beijing in June. @jenniCNN, @jgriffiths, @angeladewan and @FaidellCNN write. https://t.co/NjkLAImeTg

"To make life a little better for people less fortunate than you. That's what I think a meaningful life is. One lives not just for oneself, but for one's community."

Embattled Philippines journalist Maria Ressa was found guilty of "cyber libel" Monday, in a case she and press freedom groups have described as a politically motivated prosecution by the Duterte government. https://t.co/LsuJlDXPiY

I could feel #GeorgeFloyd’s family’s severing pain through my earbuds after accidentally becoming the conduit between the family and The Minneapolis Police Chief just now. It was their first conversation ever . I just hope, no I pray, I did it justice.

This is not accurate - our CNN crew identified themselves, on live television, immediately as journalists. We thank Minnesota @GovTimWalz for his swift action this morning to aid in the release of our crew.

[Brian Stelter @brianstelter]

The CNN crew is out of custody – and their camera is *still* rolling! Expect to hear from @OmarJimenez live on the air shortly...

Live updates as CNN continues our coverage of protests after the death of George Floyd - an unarmed black man - at the hands of a Minneapolis police.

The kind of scene I’m used to covering in *other* countries

[CNN Communications @CNNPR]

A CNN reporter & his production team were arrested this morning in Minneapolis for doing their jobs, despite identifying themselves - a clear violation of their First Amendment rights. The authorities in Minnesota, incl. the Governor, must release the 3 CNN employees immediately.

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

I cannot believe what I am watching on CNN live air right now.

Future of political art in Hong Kong uncertain as Beijing tightens grip https://t.co/4AfmkCrhDx via @CNNStyle

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

As of 530pm local, Hong Kong police say they have arrested nearly 300 people for “participating in an unauthorized assembly” as well as “possession of offensive weapons” and “possession of tools for illegal use.”

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

Central quiets down, Causeway Bay picks up. Police running around corners, making arrests, pepper spray. Tension now as people mill around chanting.

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

Some pro-democracy chants and a sporadic gathering of people in Central - Hong Kong’s busy business district - led to moments of chaos, with police on the streets clearing bystanders.

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

Situation seems to be stabilising in Central as groups of police begin to head out. One doesn’t need to look far to find police still out in the business district though.

My #CNN crew and I getting pepper sprayed in #HongKong during the protests over #NationalSecurityLaw. Another #HongKongProtester arrested taking toll to over 240 today

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

Police out in force around Central & Admiralty today. Personally haven’t seen this much police presence in Hong Kong in last few years. Security checkpoints along 1 walkway leading to LegCo where the national anthem bill is due for a second reading starting in a few minutes.

[Sarah Faidell @FaidellCNN]

Street art in a skatepark in Hong Kong. One day before a 2nd reading of the controversial national anthem bill. Police have already warned protesters not to gather outside LegCo, with tensions in the city running high in the shadow of China’s proposed national security bill.
