It’s noteworthy in #HongKong court case for #721YuenLongAttack that a team of police officers arrived at the scene 1 minute after armed mob attacked on civilians. They stayed half an hour and left the mob launching further attacks, and even refused to receive civilians’ reports.
Today is 8th anniversary of my becoming Catholic in #Myanmar/#Burma
I have written this piece
"Today the streets around the cathedral are filled with gunfire and fear instead of bells and birdsong...Please pray for my brothers and sisters in Myanmar"

#HongKong's pan-dem's efforts to win #LegCo elections back in 2020 are now prosecuted as "conspiring to subvert state power". Brazen cynicism. Completely in violation of Hong Kong Basic Law. Violates ICCPR signed by Hong Kong in 1998. #CCP dictatorship.

#China's brutal authoritarian regime is silencing opposition, stripping away the rights of pro-democracy supporters in Hong Kong, including activist Jimmy Lai.
This is wrong & dangerous.
We must #StandWithHongKong against the #CCP’s oppression.

The convictions of Martin Lee & 6 other pro-democracy leaders for peaceful protest are profoundly disturbing evidence of Beijing's accelerating assault on the rule of law. The US Congress will continue to hold Beijing accountable for its strangulation of human rights in #HongKong
The erosion of #HongKong democracy, civil liberties continues.
Together with our partners, we will continue to speak up for democracy, free speech and human rights.
Democracy, peaceful protests and voicing your opinion is not a crime.

#MartinLee, #JimmyLai, & others convicted today for participating in a peaceful protest. The verdict and selective enforcement continue the PRC's aggressive efforts to silence all democratic voices in #HongKong in violation of its int'l treaty obligations and HK's Basic Law.
This is yet another move by the Chinese government to silence critics and limit dissent.
It’s time for the UK to impose sanctions against those undermining Hong Kong’s democracy and to end the participation of British judges in a compromised system

Today, authorities in Hong Kong have sentenced nine prominent pro-democracy activists, including the the ‘father of Hong Kong’s democracy’ Martin Lee, ‘the owner of Apple Daily Jimmy Lai, and international barrister Margaret Ng. https://t.co/eY3L1Zm8bs
We are horrified by the bloodshed perpetrated by Burmese security forces, showing that the junta will sacrifice the lives of the people to serve the few. I send my deepest condolences to the victims’ families. The courageous people of Burma reject the military’s reign of terror.

Andy Li was among 8 HKyouth returned to HK on 21/3 from mainland China.
After a court appearance on 24/3, Andy is missing.
We urge the #HK government to confirm Andy’s whereabouts & guarantee his personal safety & his rights are protected.
A 7yo girl was shot at her home by security forces in her home-the youngest victim so far since #Myanmar military coup. She was not a statistic but a child with a beating heart. We urge @UN and human rights organizations to interfere.

J'apprends que je fais partie des 10 Européens sanctionnés par la Chine. Ça fait froid dans le dos. Mais ça ne nous arrêtera pas. Notre devoir de parlementaires est de défendre la démocratie & les droits humains. Avec mes collègues, je suis plus solidaire et déterminé que jamais.
