China’s government has finally shown it’s true colors by wiping out their promise of “One China-Two Systems” with #HongKong through the imposition of “national security legislation” that is really an attempt to squash this bastion of liberty. https://t.co/fAFikbnLGG
HONG KONG MATTERS!
With @benedictrogers & @hk_watch we worked to mobilise 203 political leaders from 23 countries to sign a joint statement led by the former Governor of Hong Kong Lord Pattern & the former British Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind 1/3

“What we can see is a pattern of escalation whereby police tactics have functioned to radicalize the population,” @cliffordstott tells @business for our story: ‘Everyone Is Angry’: How police aggression fuels Hong Kong protests, by @BlakeSchmidt and I:

We've received this exclusive footage from 2 social workers trapped inside HK Polytechnic Uni (19:50 HK time), under siege by police. “The police told us it was safe to leave, but when we went out they released tear gas.” The police must immediately defuse the standoff at #PolyU.
BREAKING: Sir Malcolm Rifkind, Lord Alton and Baroness Bennett call Carrie Lam to order HKPF to exercise restraint at PolyU. #StandwithHK

This is very simple.
#HongKong autonomy is the reason the U.S. treats it differently than mainland #China.
If Beijing moves to take away autonomy there is no longer any rationale for special treatment. https://t.co/ZhPzUk5tbr
In the UK @TomTugendhat is the only politician who gets it when it comes to mainland China & Hong Kong.
No wonder, given his background as a former intelligence expert in the British army.
When will other British politicians wake up? @jeremycorbyn@joswinson@NicolaSturgeon
My question to politicians, diplomats, academics and media professionals: What actually has to happen in mainland China and Hong Kong for you to take action? @BorisJohnson@DominicRaab @HCNicHailey @bueti@StvlL@FGodement
There is no choice for those who cherish freedom but to support the protests in Hong Kong, as a bill pending in the United States Congress does https://t.co/SK4AXqFqUf
Meanwhile, a peaceful prayer session-cum-protest for #HongKong at Central’s Chater Garden on Sunday afternoon has attracted hundreds.
Another commemoration rally-cum-protest marking 30 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall is set to commence this evening.

Not only in the #PolyU, #HKPolice also carried AR-15 outside the hot zone. This one was found in a residential area Tai Po. Police armed with live ammunition now station in residential districts. One step closer to #PoliceStatehk.
The only way out of the political crisis in Hong Kong will be a political solution and ultimately de-escalation. If HKPF use lethal force, it will make this kind of settlement near impossible.
The Civil HumanRights Front — organiser of many peaceful protests for over a decade — has appealed to the international community to pressure police to stop the siege of the #hongkong Polytechnic University.
@antd The HK government asks people to treasure our home. This is the way, rather than spreading blue or harmful substances all around the city. #StandwithHongKong
