47 charged today under the national security law for 'inciting subversion', for organizing or participating in the July primary. Staggering and devastating for Hong Kong. Our story up now on @washingtonpost with @TMclaughlin3@theodorayuhk

A 19yo #CUHK student is arrested under #NationalSecurityLaw for taking part in a campus rally last Nov.
His crime? Holding a slogan of #LiberateHongKong#RevolutionOfOurTimes.
Our national security seems to be more fragile than thin ice on which we are forced to carefully tread.
THREAD: Tomorrow is anniversary of #831PrinceEdwardAttack by brutal #HKPF
I have decided to do a 24 hour fast/hunger strike for #HongKong in solidarity with all #HongKongers
A fast - accompanied by prayer - and a hunger strike - accompanied by protest

Takes a particular sort of scum to brutalise a pregnant woman.
Since July last 2019, the @hkpoliceforce have shown again and again that pregnancy is no defence against their disproportionate brutalising of democracy campaigners.
Really hope she is ok.
The department has requested a mention at the court between Aug 20 and 28, to withdraw the summons for the police officer, who will not be required to attend.

Responding to the decision, Ted Hui said: “Teresa Cheng’s action is overriding rule of law with rule of man. DoJ failed to provide any reasons for withdrawing the charges.” https://t.co/qLp4osGc3M

.@chowtingagnes is being brought to the police station now. It’s a devastating move from the Chinese govt that they want to silence the voice of resistance in Hong Kong. I urge the world to keep an eye on what’s happening.
#NSL
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
Postponing #HongKong legislative elections under the pretext of health concern is another ploy by #CCP to curtail democracy and silence the voices of the people. We must continue to #StandWithHongKong and democracy.

Thank you to all the brave journalists for being in the frontlines, once again, delivering the important truth in these crazy times.
#nationalsecuritylaw#StandWithHongKong
HKPolice fired tear gas & pepper spray to disperse thousands protesting against Beijing’s plan to directly impose national security laws on HK. Armoured vehicles & water cannon deployed to tackle protests amid China plans to force through security laws. https://t.co/Yi3kuCLm6Z
1/ From anti-extradition law to anti-national security law, more than thousands of #Hongkongers took to streets to protest against this highly controversial law since the new law will kill future democratic movements, and murder any slight chance to seeking justice in the city.
