How the National Security Law is being used in HK now: HK Police visited “the local newsroom of [Japanese newspaper] Nikkei armed with a court order. The reason...was an advert placed in Nikkei a year ago calling for international support for pro-democracy protests...”

[Hong Kong Global Connect @HKGlobalConnect]

On the same day the police raided the Apple Daily HQ, Nikkei’s HK newsroom was searched because of an ad placed by @demosisto well over a year ago.

This is another proof that the #NSL targets foreign media as well as past acts and words retroactively to support “investigations”.

On 10 Aug, three officers paid a more discreet visit to the local newsroom of Nikkei, the Japanese financial newspaper, armed with a court order.
The reason, according to a source present who spoke to @AFP on condition of anonymity, was an advert placed in Nikkei a year ago.

In total, we’ve found 428 prison compounds across Xinjiang through our research and many of them contain multiple facilities – camps, prisons and pre-trial detention centres.

You know what, Wang Yi, you've given a brilliant idea

In fact why don't we give the Nobel Prize to #HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Taiwan, #Tibet and the dissidents of #China, either all in one or for the next five years in succession?

The University of Queensland has blocked the website of a coalition of 61 pro-democracy and Uyghur/Tibetan advocacy groups on their network.

Can you think of a single other example where political speech has been so specifically blocked in Western universities?

Guangdong Coast Guard caught a fast boat on Aug 23, arresting some 10 people on suspicion of “unlawfully crossing boarder.” The news was only released 3 days later. The location was not far outside Hong Kong. This raised eyebrows over who were on the boat and their treatment.
