🧵Today we are launching an emoji for the #MilkTeaAlliance, an online solidarity alliance first started in April 2020 as a Twitter meme which has grown into a global pro-democracy movement led by activists and concerned citizens in 🇭🇰🇹🇭🇹🇼🇲🇲 and around the world.
This sadly sums up where #HongKong is at.....
The crew is very talented and deserves credit for their amazing work.

On this anniversary the question is how did the protests escalate to this extent and what role did policing play in the process that culminated in #PolyU. Read our analysis here https://t.co/8beCXsPaJc
1. #HKgov now demands #US to drop the new label ban and stresses its products are not made in China. One local exporter told @appledaily_hk, slamming HKgov for being hypocritical since it previously arrested now-disbanded Demosisto members for selling “not-made-in-China” masks.
Deeply disturbed that Hong Kong democracy activists, arrested two weeks ago, have been denied access to lawyers of their choice. We hope Chief Executive Lam’s stated commitment to protecting the rights of Hong Kong residents is more than just words.
Hong Kong police used pepper spray & arrested 12 at a rally marking 1 year since officers beat pro-democracy activists on a train.
"Terrible police violence once again,” an activist said.
A new security law allows activists to be charged with life in prison for “subversion.”
[Trapped in the black hole -
After two-week detention in #China, still no update abt 12 HK #AsylumSeekers]
1. Only thing we know is they are all taken to detention centre in #Shenzhen & Chinese cops will decide whether to arrest them formally by Oct 1, according to #China’s law
[Detainee faces indefinite detention & tortures in #HK]
1. A detainee from #India on hunger strike was brutally beaten by officers at Castle Peak Bay Immigration Center (CIC, aka "black prison"), before unwillingly sending to hospital for forced injection, per @appledaily_hk.
[My Oped in @Independent] My former colleague @chowtingagnes has been arrested and so has @JimmyLaiApple.
Beijing is stepping up its attack on press freedom. It is the first time members of the press have been arrested under national security law.

[The city's largest-ever DNA collection by #China]
1. Starting from today, #Beijing will send medical personnel from China to #HK for mass testing. Just like #nationalsecuritylaw legislation, the decision is unilaterally imposed without public consultation.
Why did a restaurateur from Cambridge join pro-Chinese Communist Party criminal triad thugs in a mob attack in #YuenLong#721YuenLongAttack#HongKong?
And why was he allowed to return to Cambridge freely?
Isn't it time Stephen Ng is brought to justice?

Great news @pritipatel and @BorisJohnson for initiating BNO citizenship for the oppressed ppl of #HongKong but how will you stop ppl from applying that are the oppressors, working for @hkpoliceforce and Govt workers #standwithhk

Absolutely shocked that two UK Citizens are behind the police brutality in #hongkong where innocent ppl where murdered and raped inside the @hkpoliceforce stations. I will get justice in our UK Court of Law against these two criminals
