1/ Today, a bipartisan group of US lawmakers introduced a bill to sanction 49 Hong Kong judges, prosecutors & gov't officials. They range from appeals judges to low-level prosecutors. If passed, it would make clear that ANYONE participating in persecution can be held accountable.
Jimmy Lai marks his 1,000th day in Hong Kong’s Stanley Prison on Tuesday, an ignominious anniversary that should remind the world of his bravery and China’s disdain for international treaties and the rule of law.

Chinese human rights lawyer #LuSiwei, who helped the #HK12 when they were imprisoned in China, was repatriated by Laos to China last week. The international community should continue to call for his release so that he can reunite with his family in the US. https://t.co/K00RN41YZS
#HongKong national security police have taken away Nathan Law’s sister-in-law for questioning.

For those who asked:
Yes, this is the photo I used to renew my HKID card when I was 18.
The 18-year-old me would never have thought the photo would be publicized globally in an arrest warrant (with a bounty) 8 years later.
Note: they widened the photo on the warrant.
At the University of Queensland in Australia, Chinese students bullied a Hongkong student and shouted, "I support genocide, I'm proud of it, so what?"
These Chinese students utilize the democratic system to grow into a force for destroying democracy.

HKDC's video recap of the #July1, 2019 march of 550,000 and, later that evening, the storming of the undemocratic Legislative Council.
It was four years ago already, but the spirit of all of these moments lives on in #HongKongers' hearts.

More than 700 attended the #June12#Manchester rally in a thunderstorm, marking 4 years since the start of the 2019-2020 #HongKong protests. Speakers included those seeking political asylum in the HK & a group aiding #PoliticalPrisoners in #HongKong.

More than 1,000 attended the #London#June12 rally on Sunday. It called on the UK gov't to publicly support #JimmyLai & other HK #PoliticalPrisoners; close all Confucius Institutes in the UK; & expedite processing of HK political asylum applications.

The Hong Kong government once again kicks off the Streisand effect: the #HongKong
iTunes store's top songs are dominated by #GloryToHongKong, the protest anthem that authorities announced yesterday they will seek to legally ban.

#StandWithHongKong
We are worry that more and more content, article, art or song would be banned if the #HongKong government consider it's against the national security law #nsl. This is totally an #internetcensorship and caused real serious damage to Hong Kong.
#glorytohongkong
@harari_yuval When I see this proud Ukrainian🇺🇦 play his national anthem, I mentally play our own anthem “Glory to Hong Kong” in my head.
We also have our own stories and collective experiences. We must also remember them in the decades and generations to come. Must not let #CCP🇨🇳 erase them.
