#Belarus. Even driving cars is not safe anymore. Anyone can be stopped by a road police, beaten adn threatened with a gun. We are living through horrifying times right now. However, in the future, it will be also extremely hard to rebuild trust in state institutions
#RuleofLaw in Hong Kong:
Using law as a tool to suppress the rights and freedom of #Hongkongers , including the right to defend themselves after being arbitrarily arrested.
The business community should watch this closely and reconsider their investments in HK.
#StandWithHK
Completely outrageous
This money was raised to support legal fees of those facing political prosecution, crowdfunded by Hong Kongers
Freezing these assets is appalling & sets a dreadful precedent in a major financial centre

Yesterday I thought the attitude from the police towards the students couldn’t get worse. But reading this morning about what is happening on ground at Polytechnic University is like watching a massacre in slow motion. It’s a human catastrophe #StandwithHK https://t.co/b3k8GVA1ae
Fingers crossed for a smooth passage of the #HKHRDA in the Senate, presumably within the next 20 hours or so. Hong Kongers, as usual, appreciate @MarshaBlackburn for yet another message of support 🤞🤞
BREAKING: Outgoing Speaker of the House of Commons urges CE to protect young lives: "I join appeals to Carrie Lam to do her duty to protect the lives of Hong Kong citizens, especially young people, and prevent loss of life."

#BREAKING Medical volunteers arrested, their hands tied and locked like fugitives. This is outrageous. The HK govt has lost control over police force. A violent bloodshed is under way.
@HawleyMO Police have besieged #PolyU and trapped all the students inside.
Innocent students who tried to leave as the police commanded are arrested and so are voluntary medics!
PolyU is facing humanitarian crisis!
In #HongKong, government police continue their assault on universities into the night, making mass arrests and now threatening live fire against largely defenseless students. Beijing is pushing Hong Kong into a state of siege #StandWithHongKong https://t.co/88poKjgKt8
#LIVE: Number of injuries is so enormous, counting becomes impossible. This part of Chinese University seems to have become like a purgatory that protesters are aware they can’t hide nor retreat as they need to safeguard their school from police encroachment. #HongKongProtests
Filmed by HKU’s Campus TV: a journalist in yellow vest appeared to be shot by tear gas. A group of #CUHK students went over to help move the journo to a safer area, while another round landed at the exact same spot. Does this still look like a “protest” scene to anyone? #HongKong
#LIVE: Nightfall, police advanced CUHK firing TearGgas & multiple RubberBullet despite Principal Rocky Tuan's attempted negotiation, injuring students. Tuan was also affected. University is now besieged by reckless police. If we lost this fight, so as our last breath of freedom!
