発言の自由や声を上げる権利が認められなくなりつつある国があるという事、私達の当たり前が当たり前じゃないかもしれない事。
今私が当たり前に与えられている権利について、再度考えていかなきゃいけないと思いました。決して他人事ではないと、私は思っています。

Hong Kong media tycoon arrested for 'foreign collusion' under new security law https://t.co/3DspDRPHVx

This appalling abuse of civil liberties should push our British government to apply #Magnitsky sanctions against those Chinese Communist Party officials who are pursuing this path of oppression https://t.co/nolqymBcwm

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

The Chinese Communist Party and their puppets in Hong Kong continue to silence and intimidate those speaking up for democracy and human rights.

The new security law in #HongKong is nothing more than a direct assault on freedom and autonomy. https://t.co/hzMVrA4vWy

[James Paterson @SenPaterson]

An appalling but sadly predictable development. Jimmy Lai has been arrested for the crime of criticizing the CCP. Free speech is dead in Hong Kong

Hong Kong police arrest @appledaily_hk founder Jimmy Lai under new National Security Law https://t.co/YazOXQ25rC

[Reinhard Bütikofer @bueti]

Jimmy Lai should be released at once and any charges dropped. #StandWithHongKong

[Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) @ipacglobal]

🇪🇺 MEP @bueti one of many #IPAC members to have condemned the arrest of Jimmy Lai, a deeply concerning assault on press freedoms in Hong Kong.

[Hilde Vautmans @hildevautmans]

Another blow to the pro-democratic forces in #Hongkong. With the national security law, Beijing has killed many freedoms, now also press freedom. The EU must be firm and act. https://t.co/tsFzZuDPZb

1/ #Hkgov has just announced a city-wide #Covid19 testing. Without proper tendering procedures, #Carrielam directly granted 150,000,000 HKD for the project.

[Ms Farah London DStG @MsFarahLondon]

Absolutely shocked that two UK Citizens are behind the police brutality in #hongkong where innocent ppl where murdered and raped inside the @hkpoliceforce stations. I will get justice in our UK Court of Law against these two criminals

My thoughts are with the people of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong Twitter is noticeably quieter - the chilling effect of the National Security Law.

I wish I had the ability to reassure friends that tweets won’t be held against them - because the world needs to hear #HK voice.

Thank you to those who continue to speak out.
