A Hong Kong court has sentenced Joshua Wong and three other activists to between four and 10 months in prison for participating in an unauthorized rally last year to commemorate the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown https://t.co/WT4Ls1Lhyn
Shocked to learn that this man, reportedly Stephen Ng, seen here perpetrating the vicious 7/21 Yuen Long attacks in #HongKong has fled and taken refuge in Cambridge.
The U.K. should not be a haven for people like this. We will be raising this with the local authorities.
Freedom wins! Over 2.9 million HongKongers went to the polls to exercise their right to vote.
The monumental defeat of pro-Communist China lawmakers sends a powerful message to Beijing — keep your authoritarian regime on the mainland.
#FreeHongKong#StandwithHK
I’m extremely delighted to announce that, despite my disqualification by Beijing, my backup candidate Kelvin Lam has won in South Horizons West with 57% of the vote. The incumbent, Judy Chan, is a protégé Regina Ip who supports police violence and calls protesters “cockroaches”.
Very good to take some time@our from election observation to tell #JuniusHo in person that I was responsible for the revocation of his honorary doctorate from @AngliaRuskin#Sorrynotsorry
The actions of police at #PolyU are disturbing. The Chinese and Hong Kong government need to deescalate. We’ve had enough bloodshed. #StandWithHongKong
The Chinese and #HongKong governments must immediately deescalate the situation and exercise restraint at #PolyU. More violence & bloodshed will only make things worse.
The world is watching. #StandWithHongKong#DemocracyForHK
Let's be clear: the violence is being escalated by the #HongKongPolice & their violent crackdown. Millions of Hong Kongers have been risking their lives for democracy.
They need unequivocal support & warnings of economic consequences, not "both sides" nonsense from @SecPompeo
Enough is enough. 😡
We can’t sit idly by while #HKPolice arrest 10-year-old boys, assault 73-year-old #HongKong elders, & hold untold numbers of people prisoner (i.e., in #SunUkLing).
If we value #HumanRights & Democracy, we have to #StandWithHK.
This barbarity must stop.
