1. The documentary “Winter on Fire” has been a documentary Hong Kong protestors are watching. We understand how it feels to have a threatening neighbour and people’s will being suppressed by authoritarian power.
“There’s a Canadian and she is in custody right now.”
CBC News🇨🇦 story: Canadian singer Denise Ho (@hoccgoomusic) is among a group of people arrested by Hong Kong police amid an ongoing crackdown on dissent spurred by China's national security law.

Today is "National Security Education Day" 🇨🇳 in HK.
Kids given toy guns in "simulation environments" such as a fake train station platform at the police training school. These cops who terrorized Hong Kongers on 7.21.2019 are now idolized as role models for our next generation.
Today's sentencing of 9 prominent pro-democracy activists in HK for a peaceful assembly is a travesty, including the jailing of Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Leung Kwok-hung, Au Nok-hin & Cyd Ho.
The sentencing of 10 pro-democracy figures in #HongKong for peaceful protest is a further sign of shrinking democratic space & erosion of freedoms. It questions China’s will to uphold its international commitments, undermines trust & impacts 🇪🇺🇨🇳 relations https://t.co/7yENIFwSnB
1/ #HongKong pro-democracy tycoon and @AppleDaily_hk founder, Jimmy Lai, has faced addition charges today besides his latest sentencing.
In essence, the new charges are "colluding with foreign forces" together with me and other Hongkongers.
The sentences of Hong Kong's democracy activists on politically-motivated charges are unacceptable and incompatible with the non-violent nature of their actions. We call for the release of those detained and imprisoned for exercising fundamental freedoms. #StandWithHongKong
"Hong Kong will never again be the city that many citizens and foreigners remember from not so long ago," Robert Keatley writes. https://t.co/SZjXxkxoUy
Interesting reporting, clearly pointing out that the real problem from Beijing's point of view is not the role of opposition parties but the simple fact that at least 60% of Hong Kongers don't want to vote for the Beijing affiliated establishment parties.

I stand in full solidarity with my fellow MEPs and European institutions targeted by today’s unfair & inacceptable sanctions by China!

The EU is about values & principles, equally at home as well as on the global stage!
Over thousand protestors registered and walked out from PolyU siege through police checkpoint would be arrested or prosecuted - @appledaily_hk #HongKongProtests https://t.co/kCzVLFf9c6
What China is doing in Hong Kong is both a legal and moral travesty, deserving of outrage and diplomatic response.
Unsurprisingly, Xi Jinping's regime disagrees, writes @TomRtweets.
