We condemn the detention of and charges filed against pan-democratic candidates in Hong Kong's elections and call for their immediate release. Political participation and freedom of expression should not be crimes. The U.S. stands with the people of Hong Kong.
Charges against 47 pro-democrat is of great concern to #EU. These make clear that legitimate political pluralism will no longer be tolerated in #HongKong. We urge authorities to abide by their commitments to fundamental #freedoms and the rule of law, as per the #BL and #ICCPR
47 people charged for organising a legitimate election in #HongKong. Their lives will never be the same. Will this latest abomination draw more than “serious concern” from our diplomatic service? 😡

1/ Beijing has said the arrests of 53 #HongKong opposition figures and democrats necessary measure to stop "external forces and individuals" colluding to undermine China.
Chair @RepGregoryMeeks: Beijing’s national security law is being used to ruthlessly attack Hong Kongers—last week by sentencing democracy activists, this week by arresting dozens of pro-democracy politicians for participating in last year’s LegCo primaries

Over 50 pro-democracy freedom fighters were just arrested in Hong Kong under the so-called national security law for participating in the primary election last July. Carrie Lam’s Beijing-controlled government calls this “suspicion of subversion”. https://t.co/9MOnHABpM9
The world knows what is really happening in #HongKong as Beijing continues to crackdown against freedoms. Arresting opposition leaders won’t squash the desire for fundamental rights. I stand with the people of Hong Kong against CCP repression.

In response to Hong Kong's political crackdown, I urge the European Parliament to halt the EU-China investment deal and EU to sanction China&HK officials who are responsible to the arrests.
#Retweet if you agree MEP should VETO the bill and EU should act.
#StandwithHongKong
Pro-democracy politicians are being arrested for speaking up for freedom and democracy.
When will Beijing stop? They will find any excuse to arrest and silence those who yearn for their basic human rights.
Breaking: The court refused to grant @JimmyLaiApple bail, he is immediately detained until next April.
