Kyiv, our splendid, peaceful city, survived another night under attacks by Russian ground forces, missiles. One of them has hit a residential apartment in Kyiv. I demand the world: fully isolate Russia, expel ambassadors, oil embargo, ruin its economy. Stop Russian war criminals!

At least 3 former members of @studentlocalism have been arrested under national security law for “incitement to secession” including ex-convener Tony Chung and his girlfriend, as well as Ho Nok-hang. They were sent to the Ma On Shan police station.
In response to the arrests, 12 student unions have issued a joint letter: "Hong Kong has fallen into the Era of White Terror... We shall continue defending Hong Kong with hope until widespread of the flames of resistance." https://t.co/IxCTWFUheU
A screenshot is being widely circulated showing former @studentlocalism convenor Tony Chung (鍾翰林) is active on Facebook, despite him being in custody after his arrest under the National Security Law. Many believe it’s the HK Police searching his phone & social media accounts.
Hong Kong police make their first major arrests under a new national security law, detaining four young people on suspicion of inciting secession. Police say they made comments on social media that urged independence for Hong Kong. https://t.co/ZBLySSER6Z

Beijing has just brought the full force of the so-called National Security Law down on the heads of three teenagers. This is the true face of authoritarian China @ipacglobal@DominicRaab
This is only the beginning. The first prominent democratic activist in Hong Kong, @nathanlawkc, has left the city as a refugee. Hope my own country, Denmark, could be a safe heaven for outstanding activists like @nathanlawkc and @joshuawongcf#dkpol https://t.co/hMtDSNRHit
It is concerning that @KingsCollegeLon are honouring HK Justice Secretary Teresa Cheng who was key in destroying HK’s autonomy.
I stand with Hong Kongers to ask that this honour be revoked.
