Jeremy Tam broke into tears several times & while making his statement in court. #Reporters cried while transcribing his words. We all know he's a pilot before becoming a Legco member, but we don't know how he grow up from ghetto.

HK is delivering a Master Class in showing that people who say, the law is the law, and therefore has to be followed are ass wipes. The law is exactly what the government says it is. That’s why having a moral & ethical government is worth fighting for.
One defendants wife said that the international world must know that Hong Kong people do not have political rights anymore. The condition for freedom is to give up politics, elections etc.
This is simply to torture the 47 defendants, including their family members and friends who have been waiting outside the court throughout the week.
Totally unnessary and inhumane.
With no sense of irony! Isn’t it incredible that the flag is still held up in some ludicrous attempt to legitimise the wording it displays and the police actions it subsequently unleashes.
@ChuHoiDick said he felt honoured that he bear consequences for an common ideal. He wish everyone a fulfilling life, no matter how the situation is, and let people feel love and hope. He also thanked hkers for letting him serve the city in the last 15 years.
The world must not stand by in the face of this horrific crackdown in #Myanmar/Burma
We need tough, targeted sanctions v military enterprises, immediately
We need a global arms embargo
And we need @antonioguterres to lead high-level UN pressure on regime to back down
#HongKong's pan-dem's efforts to win #LegCo elections back in 2020 are now prosecuted as "conspiring to subvert state power". Brazen cynicism. Completely in violation of Hong Kong Basic Law. Violates ICCPR signed by Hong Kong in 1998. #CCP dictatorship.

Charges against 47 pro-democrat is of great concern to #EU. These make clear that legitimate political pluralism will no longer be tolerated in #HongKong. We urge authorities to abide by their commitments to fundamental #freedoms and the rule of law, as per the #BL and #ICCPR
47 charged today under the national security law for 'inciting subversion', for organizing or participating in the July primary. Staggering and devastating for Hong Kong. Our story up now on @washingtonpost with @TMclaughlin3@theodorayuhk
