The 50 people arrested this morning are the most vocal pro-democracy voices left in Hong Kong.

However, as they are arrested under the NSL, whether bail will be granted to them remains unknown.

Looking forward to response from Team @JoeBiden & the EU.

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

The scale of this crackdown is unprecedented.

The free world must now act in an unprecedentedly robust manner.

Tough, targeted, coordinated sanctions.

A generous worldwide lifeboat scheme.

A UN Special Rapporteur

Cancellation of the ridiculous EU-CCP investment deal.

NOW.

Thread: The 1st arrest of #HongKong's opposition camp in 2021 is a huge one (>50 as of now), targeting one of the most moderate advocacies. In a sense it may set a precedent of "illegalizing" opposition campaign for elections & will shape the already-tightened ways of expression.

[Sen. Marsha Blackburn @MarshaBlackburn]

Over 50 pro-democracy freedom fighters were just arrested in Hong Kong under the so-called national security law for participating in the primary election last July. Carrie Lam’s Beijing-controlled government calls this “suspicion of subversion”. https://t.co/9MOnHABpM9

So much for the rule of law and the right to a fair trial: China to punish lawyers hired to help Hong Kong protesters. Two human rights lawyers will have their licences revoked after representing activists who tried to flee to Taiwan https://t.co/dBwzcpg3XP

Pro-democracy politicians are being arrested for speaking up for freedom and democracy.

When will Beijing stop? They will find any excuse to arrest and silence those who yearn for their basic human rights.
