🚨 The @StateDept just updated its travel advisory for China and #HongKong, warning of arbitrary law enforcement and the risk of unjust detention. It also confirms Hong Kong's repressive laws now reach foreigners, with arrest warrants issued against people abroad, including 🇺🇸 citizens.

1/7 Today #JoshuaWong pleaded guilty to a 2nd National Security Law case that could result in a life sentence. Sentencing was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

He has been detained for 2100+ days and, before this new case, was due for release in Jan 2027.

🚨Today, pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to ‘foreign collusion’ in his second national security case. He will receive a sentence at a later date.

We denounce the ongoing weaponisation of national security legislation in #HongKong, and urge the international community to press for his immediate and unconditional release.

Following the convictions in the trial of Chow Hang-tung and Lee Cheuk-yan, there should be no doubt that the last sliver of freedom promised in the Basic Law of #HongKong has been stripped away.

International governments and businesses must take note: there is no “business as usual” in Hong Kong.

‼️Sign the petition and help strip the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office of its diplomatic protection.
https://t.co/TFHFjBwgcd

The HKETO was granted diplomatic privileges and immunities by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office Act in 1996 ahead of the city's handover from Britain to China, recognising promised autonomy under "one country, two systems."

Since the 2020 National Security Law, that autonomy has ended.

🚨Breaking: This is repression, plain and simple.
HK dentist Li Ying-chi who never afraid to speak out despite HK's current repressive political climate, was sacked just three days after taking part in a protest on 7. 21, the anniversary of the Yuen Long mob attack. HR's own words: keeping her on would hurt the NGO's ties with the government. Official reason on paper? "Unsatisfactory performance." No complaints in 2 years. Not even allowed to pack her own desk.

This is how the HK government gets to civil society now — not through arrests, but through quiet pressure on employers to cut activists off from their livelihoods.

Her response? "Now I've got nothing left to lose. See you on 8.31."

They tried to silence her. It won't work.
