🚨 Police have detained the owner of one of #HongKong’s last independent bookstores, along with three staff, over allegations of selling “seditious” materials.
Items seized include a biography of 🇬🇧 citizen Jimmy Lai by @MarkLClifford.
This is yet another stark warning sign about the state of freedom of expression in the city. The international community must not turn a blind eye.

This holiday season, we call for the immediate and unconditional release of the #HongKong47, so that they may be reunited with their family and friends next Christmas.
