Crackdown on protest never stops even during the outbreak of #WuhanVirus. At least 12 prominent democrats and ex--/lawmaker have been arrested this morning: Martin Lee, Jimmy Lai, Albert Ho, Raphael Wong, @loktinau Au Nok Hin, Lee Cheuk Yan, Leung Kwok Hung, Jimmy Sham......
Arrests of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong are deeply concerning – politicized law enforcement is inconsistent with universal values of freedom of expression, association, and peaceful assembly.
The United States should be standing up for freedom and standing with the people of Hong Kong. Instead, Trump has said he's “standing with Xi Jinping.” That's weak. We need to be strong on values when it comes to China. That's what I'll do as president.
#HKSAR Government responded to media enquiries about "Chinese influence in #HongKong " at 1am on Sunday midnight. You can check it in the replies of this tweet.

Dangerous signs that China is using the distraction caused by coronavirus to carry out political arrests in Hong Kong. UK Government has a duty under the handover agreement to stand with them.

“The Chinese want to change the geopolitical order, and are well aware they are in a strategic competition with the West. It is high time we woke up, realised the same, and acted accordingly. Evil will triumph if enough good men do nothing.” https://t.co/5BNzifg3G0
Sir Malcolm Rifkind, former UK Foreign Secretary talking about the arrests on BBC.
"The timing is not coincidental, they are doing it now because they believe that we will be distracted by coronavirus... Every govt that believes in rule of law must put out a strong protest."

When the #RuleOfLaw is Endandered, Will the Legal Professionals Walk Out or Stand & Fight? Dr. Margaret Ng, aged 72, said it was her 1st time being arrested. It's important to reflect on whether #HumanRights are respected in the existing public order ordinance #antiELAB#HKHRDA
