Hong Kong police arrested the media tycoon and prominent democracy activist Jimmy Lai for allegedly colluding with foreign forces under the newly imposed national security law https://t.co/HFSczNMv96
Longtime #HongKong publisher arrested for daring to speak out against #ChineseCommunistParty - actually, for daring just to report the news. This is the “free speech” #China wants to force on the world
NOT surprised. I said be4 sanctions alone won't change it. It'll get worse 4🇭🇰ers. When we play offense on all fronts 2 take down #CCP fascist🇨🇳, we know #Xitler'll take his anger out of🇭🇰ers. @JimmyLaiApple pays 4 our offense. But we can use that 2 rally our allies 4 CCP demise.
I’m deeply troubled by reports of the arrest of @JimmyLaiApple under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law. Further proof that the CCP has eviscerated Hong Kong’s freedoms and eroded the rights of its people.
The arrests of @JimmyLaiApple, his sons, @chowtingagnes & the police raid of @AppleDaily_hk are outrageous assaults on human rights & freedom of the press in #HongKong.
They should be freed immediately. International action is urgently needed to support the Hong Kong people!
