Fact of the day: Hong Kong received more than 14,000 canisters of tear gas over 1 year.

🇭🇰🇺🇦 To all friends from #HongKong:

Stop apologising for not being able to organise protests for Ukraine. We feel you, we know you are with us in this war! We’re receiving massive donations from Hong Kong! You are one of our greatest supporters in Asia! We are with you always!

[Students for a Free Tibet @SFTHQ]

There is less than a month to go until #Beijing2022, but world leaders still have the opportunity to demonstrate that they support human rights for all!

Thank you Denmark and the Netherlands for choosing to stand on the right side of history.

[Liz Truss @trussliz]

Electoral overhaul and the National Security Law has wiped out opposition voices in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 and is an affront to liberty.

China should:

✅ Allow freedom of speech

✅ Abide by Sino-British Joint Declaration it agreed

✅ Act according to international obligations

As Kabul is on the brink of being taken over, a reminder that #CCPChina🇨🇳 is prepared to recognize the Taliban.

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

As usual, the Chinese Communist Party regime is behind the overthrow of a legitimate elected government by a brutal, inhumane, criminal dictatorship

Why are we allowing #CCP and #Taliban to walk all over freedom yet again?

July 8th marked the 7th day (頭七) of Mr. Leung passed away. Kind-hearted #HongKongers made graffiti in a tunnel in #HongKong. They said Mr. Leung is a hero & his legacy would last forever. Mr. Leung is our martyr & hv a bright noble soul during the dark era.

When asked if Hong Kong is turning into a police state, the pro-Beijing lawmaker Alice Mak responded “why not”, “I don’t think it is any problem with a police state”.

@RSF_inter @cdeloire @RSF_en @ReporterOG @cmihr Thank you for speaking for Hong Kong. Merci♥️ The fallen of Apple Daily has planted a seed inside every HongKonger, which eventually, will bloom.

[RSF @RSF_inter]

Today RSF staged parallel “funeral protests” outside the Chinese embassies in Paris & Berlin following the closure of #AppleDaily, warning that without concrete action by democracies, the death of press freedom in #HongKong could follow.

Breaking News: Apple Daily, a pro-democracy newspaper in Hong Kong, said that it would shut down by Saturday after the police froze its accounts and arrested staff. https://t.co/j09ByVxX7G

Foreign Secretary @DominicRaab describes @AppleDaily_HK’s forced closure by Hong Kong authorities a chilling blow to freedom of expression.

China must stand by promises it freely assumed under the Joint Declaration to protect press freedom & freedom of speech in #HongKong.

[New York Times World @nytimesworld]

The Hong Kong police on Thursday arrested five executives who work for Apple Daily, the embattled pro-democracy newspaper, or its parent company, citing suspicion of colluding with a foreign power https://t.co/y45hepuRya

Pro-democracy residents in Hong Kong are grasping for new ways to sustain the memory of the Chinese military’s bloody crackdown in Tiananmen Square, under a government increasingly bent on repressing dissent and free expression. https://t.co/HYXvEAAzYw
