As Speaker, I condemn the denial of bail to the peaceful democratic activists in Hong Kong, who were targeted & charged for exercising their rights. This action is an acceleration of Beijing's crackdown on Hong Kong, against which Congress will continue to speak out.
CHAOS: The security camera recorded the scene this morning the pro-military thugs stabbed the pedestrians and pro democracy protesters in downtown Yangon. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The sweeping arrests of pro-democracy demonstrators are an assault on those bravely advocating for universal rights. The Biden-Harris administration will stand with the people of Hong Kong and against Beijing’s crackdown on democracy. https://t.co/nSj8dr3OEg
#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.
Today we are taking action against four Chinese and Hong Kong-based officials in connection with policies and actions that have undermined Hong Kong’s autonomy, eroded the rule of law, and stifled dissent through politically motivated arrests. #StandWithHongKong
As part of a four-month investigation, Newsweek has identified 600 community groups in the U.S. with links to the Chinese Communist Party—part of a large campaign by Beijing to sow unrest ahead of the U.S. election. https://t.co/RhcEO3IMRH
Last night I was leading, often solidly, in many key States, in almost all instances Democrat run & controlled. Then, one by one, they started to magically disappear as surprise ballot dumps were counted. VERY STRANGE, and the “pollsters” got it completely & historically wrong!
A young girl of school age was just cornered by riot police & proceeded to run away, before being viciously wrestled to the ground, kicked & pinned down by several police officers.
I wish I could say this isn’t normal in Hong Kong today, but it is.

Takes a particular sort of scum to brutalise a pregnant woman.
Since July last 2019, the @hkpoliceforce have shown again and again that pregnancy is no defence against their disproportionate brutalising of democracy campaigners.
Really hope she is ok.
[11 Facts in Hong Kong]
1. We protested peacefully, and you charged us with illegal assembly.
2. We shielded ourselves with umbrellas, and you shot us with bullets.
3. We said you weren't there on July 21, and then you attacked us on August 31.

1. Starting from today, #Beijing will send medical personnel from China to #HK for mass testing. Just like #nationalsecuritylaw legislation, the decision is unilaterally imposed without public consultation.
RTHK reveals about #721YeungLongTerroristAttack and found a likely police in plainclothes, which noticed the thugs but did nothing.

@lukedepulford@DominicRaab For those who concern about freedom of press in Hong Kong, this is what happened today. The journalist was standing on the pavement...
Hong Kong people are not only brave but also amazing. It was a honor & privilege to witness you making history after May 28 on June 4th. Love ALL freedom loving Hong Kongers. God bless Hong Kong.
We remember the many lives lost in the #TiananmenSquareMassacre 31 years ago. While the Chinese Communist Party may want the world to forget, we will never forget.
