In Hong Kong, the authorities are right now arresting all the democratic nominees who participated in the primaries — 50 candidates! Hong Kong has just become the frontline of China’s new totalitarian state.
#BREAKING Police also raided Joshua’s home for allegedly violating the national security law this morning as he took part in the primary election last year. 50+ democratic activists were arrested.
Just in: more than 20 nominees of the 2020 democratic primaries are arrested for breaking the NSL and subverting the regime.
As one of those nominees, I strongly condemn these arrests which reveals the demise of HK. I urge the Free World to take action and contain the #CCP NOW
One day
One day #XiJinping & his little morally retarded henchwoman #CarrieLam will be overthrown
One day the perpetrators of crimes against humanity will be brought to justice
One day #HongKong, #Uyghurs, #Tibet & all #China will be free
No doubt about it. History says so.
When US is handling the election certification, HK gov just arrests nearly all pro-democracy activists and nominees in the primaries today.
As a nominee in the democratic primaries, I urge the US gov and Free World to stay alert and stand with HK by all means.
@JoeBiden@POTUS
[Just In] Former lawmakers James To, Andrew Wan, Lam Cheuk Ting were arrested by police national security branch this morning for last yr legislature election. Police said “35+” (winning the majority in LegCo election) was an act of SUBVERSION, in violation of the NSL.
Winning an election is subversion of the state.
Ok then.
A reminder that we signed a treaty promising to protect #HongKong from stuff like this. Where are those promises now?
1. The current political crackdown is not only limited to the winners of the 2020 Pro-Democracy Primary Elections, nor is it limited to the Resistance Camp formed after the Primaries. This is a large-scale liquidation involving 52 democrats across different political spectrums.
