1. Most of you may not understand how dreadful the closure of Apple Daily means to Hong Kong. Not only to its journalistic landscape, but also to the people and the city itself. This is their last day. They are going to print 1 million copies tomorrow to commerate the fight.
Breaking: @appledaily_hk is being raid searched again and 5 top executives including the editor in chief are arrested under the NSL.
Era of white terror.
Time to revisit the scene when a volunteer medic was struck in the eye in a protest in Tsim Sha Tsui, as pro-Beijing media say she lied about her injury. One of the bloodiest scenes during the 2019 Hong Kong protests, the video was taken on 11 August 7.25 pm. #HongKongProtests
Hong Kong's internal police complaints body has found no wrongdoing on the part of an officer who removed a pro-democracy figure's goggles to pepper-spray his face at close-range during a demonstration in Causeway Bay in January 202. https://t.co/KGkb7y4iIh
More than 50 pro-democracy politicians and campaigners have been arrested in Hong Kong under the national security law, over accusations they “subverted state power” by holding primaries and saying they intended to win a majority of seats.

We condemn the arrests of 52 pro-democracy politicians who ran in the primaries last July that drew 600,000+ HKers. Among the arrested were veteran lawmakers, as well as Jeffrey Andrews, first ethnic minority social worker to run. They are charged with “subversion to the state”.
In response to Hong Kong's political crackdown, I urge the European Parliament to halt the EU-China investment deal and EU to sanction China&HK officials who are responsible to the arrests.
#Retweet if you agree MEP should VETO the bill and EU should act.

Received multiple messages that Twitter is now blocking retweets of my tweet below about @NYPost and #JoeBidenUkraineScandal. I just tried to retweet and quote tweet myself but was blocked. @jack @twittersafety
#HongKong should have been voting today.
Instead they’re picking brualised schoolgirls up off the tarmac.
Take a bow, international community. You allowed this to happen by legitimising the CCP Party-state.
