#JoshuaWong 13.5m in jail - via lawyers, “it’s not the end of the fight. Ahead of us is another challenging battleground. We’re now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK.
Joshua was transferred to Stanley Prison after finishing his sentence early this month. In January, HK Court of Appeal reduced Joshua's sentence to 8 months for participating in the June 4th Vigil. The date of his NSL trial is yet to be fixed while he remains in custody.
Reminder that this young man, Joshua Wong, is locked up for no reason other than he wants freedom from Chinese Communist Party oppression. https://t.co/i2JwOCDH4v
Joshua was further arrested under NSL today. WITHOUT legal representative this morning, he was taken to Laichikok Reception center to take statement. It is not known yet when and where this investigation will lead him to. Joshua has now returned to ShekPik Prison. (Apple Daily)
#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.
#JoshuaWong wrote before moving to maximum security facility, 'how happy the letters written by fellow HongKongers made me. Every night, the letters spare me from loneliness, affirming my faith in activism.' Check out what he reads lately 👉 https://t.co/mDagJZhFld
Author @OwenJones84 speaks to pro-democracy activist @joshuawongcf about his book, #UnfreeSpeech, and why what happens in Hong Kong matters to us all.

After removing legislators and imprisoning protestors, Beijing will then turn to education. The struggle outside prison is equally challenging. People have to prepare for a greater cost merely for speaking up or refusing to conform to authority. Read more https://t.co/Yn600MsCVO
[#JoshuaWong Letter before sentencing] I said ‘it’s tougher for you to be out there’. By this I mean not only the emotional burden of having friends incarcerated but the sweeping control on many aspects in HK’s society (Credit: AFP)
Let’s get this straight: A British bank desperate for continued access to China’s financial market can suddenly freeze your #HongKong assets on Saturday — turning your entire life savings into $0 — unfreeze it without explanation on Sunday, only to freeze it all again on Monday.
“We have to make sure when people think of China they don’t think of economic growth, business opportunities - they think of concentration camps in Xinjiang, the struggle of Hong Kong, people inside mainland China jails.”

“Time is running out for Hong Kong and time is also running out for my safety.... It is hard for me to know when the police will storm into my home and arrest me at six in the morning.”

Another rare glimpse of @joshuawongcf at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre, this one a long-distance shot captured by @StandNewsHK moments ago. He’s set to be transferred to another correctional facility soon, presumably a more remote, maximum-security prison. Take care 😞
China’s brutal sentencing of three pro-democracy leaders in Hong Kong is appalling.
We call on all freedom-loving people around the world to join us in denouncing this unjust sentencing & China’s widespread assault on Hong Kongers' autonomy & freedom. https://t.co/9DhRT1MWx1
