Can confidently say the pro-democracy camp is having a landslide win in #HK’s district council election with a whopping 71.2% turnout. #HKer’s conviction for a real democratic system is loud and clear! #5DemandsNot1Less
Very good to take some time@our from election observation to tell #JuniusHo in person that I was responsible for the revocation of his honorary doctorate from @AngliaRuskin#Sorrynotsorry
🚨The Senate unanimously passes the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act. As the author of the United States-Hong Kong Policy Act of 1992 who has advocated for Hong Kong for decades, I am proud to stand with the protestors and hold China accountable. https://t.co/gugd9usrZi
Hundreds of tearful and helpless parents are sitting in close to the besieged #PolyU campus begging for the release of their kids trapped inside. One said she knew it’s useless but she just wanted to be as close to her kid as possible 😢 https://t.co/Im1mujV2uE
Yesterday I thought the attitude from the police towards the students couldn’t get worse. But reading this morning about what is happening on ground at Polytechnic University is like watching a massacre in slow motion. It’s a human catastrophe #StandwithHK https://t.co/b3k8GVA1ae
#HKPoliceMonsters see EVERYONE as ‘cockroaches’ they can hurl abuse, tear-gas and shoot as they please. They are completely desensitised and their judgement clouded by hatred. #HKers, regardless of their roles in the movement, are facing something worse than killing machines.
Tear gas is out of control on Austin Road.
I've just been tear gassed the worst in my life. I collapsed I couldn't breath. Mask on.
One riot police firing from the roof of a police truck.
Riot police are now chasing us (the press) away pointing their rifles towards us.
Just did this for @BBCWorld - @BorisJohnson@DominicRaab need to put pressure on Carrie Lam to appoint a mediator and come to the table.
#PolyU is their home and represents everything they are fighting for. Leave them alone.

Of all countries, of all people, Germany should be the one who know best about the banality of evil. And this evil is way, way worse than what anyone and anything has been. #StopaidingCCP https://t.co/fxYLoFRBUx
.@Amnesty tells #Germany in no uncertain terms not to train #China's military in 2020, as planned. I would have thought it obvious? https://t.co/2JXSHeH08G
UK POLITICIANS CALL ON HONG KONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE TO ACT TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE Lord Hogan Howe urges no use of " lethal force because it can only make the situation worse." Letter is sent to Carrie Lam. John Bercow - former Commons Speaker - adds voice. https://t.co/RdjLH0y6fT
Inside Poly U now with a Reuters team. We’ll stay whatever happens. A sense of foreboding amid grave fears of a bloody showdown, hundreds of tenacious and desperate protesters trapped on all sides by police, some highly on edge #HK#HongKongProtests#StandWithHongKong
Hong Kong Police, Carrie Lam, Xi Jinping: Pull back from the brink. Do not use lethal force. If you commit another Tiananmen massacre, u will not only destroy Hong Kong but China too. The world is watching. The world will not tolerate a massacre #StandwithHK#DemocracyForHK
#HKPolice are seen carrying AR15 rifles and threatening to fire live rounds at unarmed protesters inside #PolyU! These bloodthirsty monsters are ready to kill! Don’t kill our young! #PolyUMassacre#HKpolicemonsters
I was encouraged by a productive conversation with @MarcoRubio yesterday on legislation to further help the people of Hong Kong. The Senate needs to stand with Hong Kong and I hope we can take action soon.

Here’s a university campus in Hong Kong right now. The Chinese Communist Party has declared war on the people of this Free City. It’s time for the Free World to respond!

#HKpopo hurled abuse at people and told them to stay home if feel unsafe on police-strewn streets. The fact is it’s not even safe at home. Journalists were diagnosed with chloracne, some elders even died after being exposed to tear gas (but hard to prove).
#China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs is wrongly calling an organization that I advise, East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (ETNAM), which nonviolently advocates independence from China, a terrorist organization called ETIM.
