1hr before the purge in #HongKong, @FT published my op-ed which explains the problem of the EU-China investment treaty.
#CCP simply slams the face of #EU which keeps “feeding the crocodiles”.
We sincerely urge 🇪🇺 to halt the treaty. It’s never too late.

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.
The world knows what is really happening in #HongKong as Beijing continues to crackdown against freedoms. Arresting opposition leaders won’t squash the desire for fundamental rights. I stand with the people of Hong Kong against CCP repression.

China’s crackdown on democracy will not be ignored by the world. More than 50 prominent democratic advocates were arrested today in Hong Kong. This is unacceptable, HKers’ rights are human rights.
Very concerned about mass arrests of pro-democracy politicians and activists among other worrying developments in Hong Kong. The exercise of the human rights and freedoms guaranteed under Hong Kong’s Basic Law must be ensured.
The sweeping arrests of pro-democracy demonstrators are an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights. The Biden-Harris administration will stand with the people of Hong Kong and against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. https://t.co/nSj8dr3OEg
Update:
>50 pro-democracy activists and/ or District Councillors have been arrested at 6am in #HongKong.
Right before the US Electoral-Vote Count on 6th Jan.
In response to Hong Kong's political crackdown, I urge the European Parliament to halt the EU-China investment deal and EU to sanction China&HK officials who are responsible to the arrests.
#Retweet if you agree MEP should VETO the bill and EU should act.
#StandwithHongKong
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.
Police arrested dozens of pro-democracy politicians early Wednesday in a series of dawn raids that swept up many of the opposition’s most prominent opposition figures https://t.co/spFENt3yJq
UPDATE: Multiple 2020 Legco candidates that participated in the pro-democracy camp primary were arrested at home this morning under the #NationalSecurityLaw for subversion.
BREAKING:
Dozens of winners of 2020 #HongKong pro-democracy primaries, such as Lester Shum, Ventus Lau, Fergus Leung and Gwyneth Ho, have been arrested under the National Security Law.
Worse still, there is #NO presumption of innocence under the #NSL.

Early morning arrests being carried out in Hong Kong. At least three former LegCo members from the Democratic Party, including Lam Cheuk-ting have been arrested by national security forces. As always, expect this number to grow.
