Canada needs to step up and provide political asylum to pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong who face arrest and detention under the new security laws. #cdnpoli@ElizabethMay

Three years ago, I was imprisoned due to my leadership role in Umbrella Movement. Everything was so uncertain — a month ago I was a parliamentarian, then i turned into a cellmate. But I always know that we are for the right cause and justice, we can overcome any hurdles.

Meanwhile, in Hong Kong.
Another day of real STATE SANCTIONED police brutality.
Where are all the celebrity tweets for this?
And not one person looted after this.

Tonight the United States Senate unanimously passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.
Tonight we affirmed that we will do our part to hold accountable those who violate basic human rights in #HongKong
The UN is condemning the #HongKong PROTESTORS? Is this a joke? It is time for the UN to address the real issue here, which is #China failure to abide by the 1984 Joint Declaration, a treaty on file with the UN
The US Senate has just passed unanimously the #HongKong Human Rights & Democracy Act. To the protestors in Hong Kong: You did this. Your courage has moved the Senate. It has moved the Congress. It will move the world. #StandWithHongKong
@JulianCastro HKPolice is aimed at massacre, not only students inside, unarmed citizens are also attacked, it's worse than just #HKPoliceState , they are now insanely attacking people
I condemn the campaign against protesters at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, which represents a significant escalation by the authorities.
The United States must #StandWithHongKong and hold the Chinese government accountable for repression. The whole world is watching.
#HongKong police trapping hundreds of students inside #PolyUniversity. Won’t let them leave. Apparently want mass arrests. These actions by Beijing-backed govt raise question whether #China is in violation of its 1984 Joint Declaration commitments https://t.co/tc7akTgyZK
Just did this for @BBCWorld - @BorisJohnson@DominicRaab need to put pressure on Carrie Lam to appoint a mediator and come to the table.
#PolyU is their home and represents everything they are fighting for. Leave them alone.
#StandWithHongKong
The images from PolyU in Hong Kong are deeply concerning. The world will not stand idly by as HK’s One Country, Two Systems model is undermined by Beijing.
Officials must show restraint, deescalate the situation, and engage in dialogue to address protestors' legitimate demands.
A bloody fight has broken out between protesters and riot police outside Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where upwards of several hundred student protesters have been barricaded inside for days. https://t.co/TCtHvlLEId
Dozens have been rounded up by riot police — present in large numbers across Kowloon — for suspected participation in the earlier protests, including at a rooftop.
