#JoshuaWong 13.5m in jail - via lawyers, “it’s not the end of the fight. Ahead of us is another challenging battleground. We’re now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK.
[Please pray for ten arrested freedom-loving Hongkonger]
1/ Soon after Beijing has disqualified pro-democracy runners and cancelled the legislative election, media newsrooms become China’s new target. Today, ne month after the law has been put in place...

I’m deeply troubled by reports of the arrest of @JimmyLaiApple under Hong Kong’s draconian National Security Law. Further proof that the CCP has eviscerated Hong Kong’s freedoms and eroded the rights of its people.

【David vs Goliath: Defending Hong Kong】
One year has passed since the #HongKong protests first erupted. In the past year, you’ve been there for #Hongkongers, and now we need you more than ever.
📽This is our explainer video on what has happened and how YOU can help #HongKong!
Carrie Lam is attempting to mislead Hong Kongers. Despite what she says, the national security legislation will NOT “only target a small minority of illegal and criminal acts and activities.”
It will change HK as we know it.
Productive call with UK Foreign Secretary @DominicRaab on Hong Kong. Beijing’s efforts to undermine Hong Kong’s autonomy cannot go unchallenged by the international community.
Today is a day to remember in the fight for universal human rights. In 1997, Hong Kong was granted special treatment under U.S. law. But the #CCP slowly eroded Hong Kong's autonomy to the point that it would not be in good faith to continue granting HK special treatment.
America will not stand by and allow tyrants in China to exploit the special treatment Hong Kong received under U.S. law.
We will stand strong with our allies and hold the line against the spread of communism.
The Chinese Communist Party has worked to undermine #HongKong’s autonomy for years. @SecPompeo's certification confirmed what we already knew: Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from the PRC. We cannot let #Beijing profit from breaking int'l agreements.

Clear statement from @SecPompeo today re: the failure of #China policy of last 30 years: “While the US once hoped that a free and prosperous Hong Kong would provide a model for authoritarian China, it is now clear that China is modeling Hong Kong after itself.”
Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
We need to build a twitter army to defend Hong Kong autonomy, freedom, and democracy. You can recruit more people worldwide to join us by tweeting and retweeting for #StandWithHongKong.
