Very honoured to receive an Outstanding Contribution Award and a half Palatinate from @TeamDurham yesterday for my service to @durhambadminton ππ
#Tokyo2020#HongKong badminton Olympian Angus Ng publicly condemned by pro-Beijing camp for wearing black in the tournament. The fact is Ng doesnβt have any sponsorship and is therefore not allowed to sport the HK flag on his shirt.
How lunatic. #BoycottBeijing2022
The Hong Kong authorities' continued malicious persecution of former Apple Daily staff is disturbing. The Chinese government is again failing to uphold its promise in the Joint Declaration to protect freedom of the press and freedom of speech
We need URGENT action from @DominicRaab@BorisJohnson re: a COMPLETELY INNOCENT #HongKong newspaper editorial writer being arrested en route to the UK - probably hoping to participate in the BNO scheme. This makes a mockery of our treaty promises. #Enough
πππ° A tragic day for #PressFreedom and #FreedomOfExpression as the only remaining pro-democracy newspaper @appledaily_hk is forced to close down under the pressure from the Chinese state & party leadership. We will continue to #StandWithHongKong β

So this week will see the last few days of operations for @AppleDaily_HK. A sad day for all of us whoβve written for the paper but especially for the full-time journalists & staff. A bandit regime is now happy to put a profitable company out of business for political reasons.
Hong Kongers try to buy every copy of today's edition of the pro-democracy Apple Daily--500,000 copies--to protest Beijing's growing suppression of their free speech...

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.
Today @ukinchina posted this on Chinese social media in memory of all who lost their lives in and near Tiananmen Square, 32 years ago. It was censored within 20 minutes.
Pro-democracy activist Chow Hang Tung has been arrested by Hong Kong police on the 32nd anniversary of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown for organising the banned vigil.
Trying to silence us will not make us forget about #June4th
A Hong Kong tradition mourning the victims of the 1989 crackdown in Beijing is under threat, but activists like Chow Hang Tung believe it is important to keep the event going
