On Day 115, the defense rested its case. The #HK47 trial has been tentatively adjourned until Nov 27 for closing statements. It began on Feb 6, nearly 7 months ago. Pictured here are the 16 who plead not guilty, 11 of whom testified in their own defense. https://t.co/G1h99AjRkT
Two years ago today, #HongKong’s #AppleDaily announced it was closing & its final issue was on June 24, 2021. Its six executives have now been in prison for 702 to 925 days each on #NSL charges of “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces” & #sedition. https://t.co/ASTe1SywHi
"#Uyghur activists in Germany and in four U.S. cities gathered outside Thai consulates and embassies on Friday, demanding that the Southeast Asian government improve the condition of Uyghur refugees in detention in Thailand." https://t.co/kTAMV1Azkx
Inviting Han Zheng to the coronation is inappropriate. To some Hongkongers, it's an insult to the community.
My take at BBC at 10 last night.

We sincerely hope more of you can take a brief moment to write to the 47 case related politicians as well as other political prisoners. Until February 2022, there are over 2,800 Hongkongers prosecuted, detained, or convicted of charges relating to the 2019-2020 protests.

Incredible: at Rugby Sevens tournament in #HongKong, protest anthem #GloryToHongKong was played as HK team’s national anthem. HK government has issued statement “strongly deploring” incident. In past, several have been arrested for playing #願榮光歸香港.

Xi Jinping has told the People’s Liberation Army to “focus all its energy on fighting” in preparation for war, a Chinese Communist party mouthpiece has reported. #China https://t.co/JXf6mU6ksg
@CitySamuel rightly says a protestor beaten up outside a CCP Consulate & at least 2 overseas“police stations”in UK is intolerable. Next month Tower Hamlets Council should support Uyghurs,HK & residents & decline an application for a mega CCP embassy in the Royal Mint. Telegraph:
