One of the arrested in #PolyUHongKong kept his Facebook live on when being caught by police.

#HKPoliceMurderer would do everything to harm this brave young man who try to reveal their CRUELTY and BRUTALITY.
Please retweet! The world must know!

I applaud the Senate for passing the #UyghurHumanRightsPolicyAct.
We must continue shedding light on the human rights violations by the Chinese Communist Party. The Uyghurs are being imprisoned simply for their religion and it must end.
THREAD: HK's Independent Police Complaints Council released their report today on the anti-ELAB protests. Their description on Sept. 29 of the incident involving Indonesian journalist Veby Indah, who was shot in her eye while covering the protests, is inaccurate.
In report's concluding observations, #IPCC note #HongKong is "being dragged into #terrorism era". Asked how they arrived @ this, #HongKongPolice watchdog chair Anthony Neoh: that's not our conclusion, that's what the police chief (Chris Tang) said.

"Unless an inquiry can be shown to be both transparent & fair...it may simply do more harm than good," @LawOfProtest told me.
Here's my Dec. story on why an indep commission of inquiry into the HK police is urgent, & why the existing watchdog falls short

Passages like this show the extent to which IPCC swallowed #HK police Koolaid. 1st, most protests & protesters remained peaceful throughout. 2nd, why doesn’t IPCC consider protesters’ perspective? Ie, protesters had to defend themselves against increasing police violence.
“Nobody should be subjected to administrative or criminal sanctions for taking part in a peaceful protests." @UN human rights experts urge #HongKong authorities to drop the criminal prosecution of 15 pro-democracy activists who participated in peaceful protests last year.
#HK’s Legislature descended into chaos as pro-#Beijing lawmakers attempted to violate parliamentary procedure to seize power to chair meetings, paving way to controversial national security legislation. Democrat @ray_slowbeat was forcibly dragged out by Beijing loyalist Aron Kwok
A scene witnessed by many reporters in Mong Kok on Mother's Day: A mother stood in front of police cordon line as her two daughters, each 12 & 14 yo, were arrested. She told them: "Don't panic, mum is here."

Pro-Beijing Hong Kong’s leader blames education system for fuelling pro-democracy protests and requests to overhaul. Requiring students to support the authorities in the absence of reason is tantamount to #brainwashing.

Have you already forgotten, or are you just scared to remember?
Today marks six months since the 831 incident-police rushing into a train station and attacking passengers indiscriminately.
Never forgive nor forget.
