#Belarus How horrible it is. The new video shows how Raman Bandarenka was abducted from the neighbourhood where he lived in #Minsk. The authorities will do anything to hide the perpetrators. This is a state-sponsored murder by plainclothes. Heartbreaking and outrageous
English version of the law - the most absurd piece of authoritarian overreach I can remember. And surely the suicide note of Xi Jinping's administration. https://t.co/HtMsVN8jgs
Now IPCC report is published I am free to utilise its data as well as our own to underpin our scientific analysis of the evolution of the 2019 protest movement in Hong Kong. Hard at work over this weekend developing our report which we hope to publish on or before 9th June 2020.
1/ Although #China’s liaison office has been toughening its control on #HK in recent weeks, #Hongkongers do not scare off. Tonight, thousands of #hongkongprotesters sang #GloryToHK at Cityplaza and reminded all #hkers of our cause for democracy.
This video’s gone viral in #HK this evening. Police mock pro-democracy District Councillor Andrew Chiu outside Cityplaza mall, the very place where a pro-CCPer bit off his ear in Nov. Here a cop keeps grabbing his ear as Chiu pleads w the cops to act rationally.
1/ Three #hongkongers were slashed by a pro-#Beijing mob with a beef knife, with wounds on her left chest and chin, broken ribs, lungs collapsed with blood, suffering from post-traumatic stress, when handing out leaflets at #lennonwalls last night
Absolutely shocking.
One of the victims was hospitalised in the Intensive Care Unit.
HK judiciary claim that they don’t consider political factors when they sentence activists to 6-7 years imprisonments, and now they are considering political factors?
#StandwithHK#RuleofLaw
Hong Kong authorities just arrested more than a dozen activists and former lawmakers, including an 81-year-old lawyer known as the “Father of Democracy.” Beijing and HK authorities can’t use #Covid19 as a cover. Beijing should know the world is watching and we #StandWithHongKong.
These outrageous arrests are just one more example of Beijing’s shameful efforts to strangle the freedom and autonomy of Hong Kongers. I wrote about these coordinated efforts last year: https://t.co/vpCKX4EpAA
Even as the world confronts the coronavirus crisis, democracy and human rights continue to be attacked in Hong Kong. @RepMcGovern is right — @realDonaldTrump must swiftly begin implementing the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act.
I condemn in the strongest terms the arrest of peaceful pro-democracy leaders in Hong Kong and call on the local authorities and their Chinese Communist Party handlers in Beijing to release them immediately. #StandWithHongKong. #HongKongProtests

As the world grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, human rights continue to be threatened in Hong Kong. I urge the @POTUS to use the tools provided by the US Congress and fully implement the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.
Need more evidence that China is trying to use the #coronavirus pandemic to advance their agenda? Look no further than Hong Kong where those fighting for democracy are being rounded up while the world is distracted by this pandemic. Where will this end? https://t.co/CifqG4Klgp
Arrests of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong are deeply concerning – politicized law enforcement is inconsistent with universal values of freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.
Hong Kong police have arrested opposition politician Cheng Lai-king, under a colonial-era sedition law, for allegedly sharing the identity of an officer who fired a baton round that blinded a journalist during protests last year
