So winning elections is subversion?

#CCP is only doing this to #HongKong because Britain & the free world has responded to grave breaches of an international treaty with mere words

@DominicRaab @BorisJohnson words don't work with #XiJinping. Actions might

#TimeforSanctions

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

50!

50 #HongKongers

Whose only crime is peacefully standing for election, helping organise elections or upholding the democracy they were promised

@vonderleyen @JoeBiden @BorisJohnson @ScottMorrisonMP @JustinTrudeau @antonioguterres: time to act

Not just to speak, but to act

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

The scale of this crackdown is unprecedented.

The free world must now act in an unprecedentedly robust manner.

Tough, targeted, coordinated sanctions.

A generous worldwide lifeboat scheme.

A UN Special Rapporteur

Cancellation of the ridiculous EU-CCP investment deal.

NOW.

This makes me want to vomit. I’m not sure if it’s worse or better that most if not all of them had probably been waiting for this to happen. #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw

[Antony Dapiran @antd]

HK waking to news of mass arrests of pro-democracy politicians for conducting a primary election which is being called an act of “subversion” under the national security law. Total numbers arrested not yet clear, but it seems to be dozens.

#BREAKING #HongKong wakes up to another round of arrests of pro-democracy activists. Several ppl, includ LSD's Leung Kwok-hung, Tiffany Yuen from disbanded Demosisto & Ventus Lau, were arrested over #NationalSecurityLaw, for joining pan-dems Legco primaries in July.

[Laurel Chor @laurelchor]

Local media are reporting that dozens of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists & politicians have been arrested under the National Security Law. This is the biggest crackdown so far under the NSL & the biggest ever wave of arrests of major pro-democracy figures in one day in HK.

[Aaron Mc Nicholas @aaronMCN]

Alvin Yeung, Ventus Lau & Gary Fan have also been arrested, according to their social media accounts. Fergus Leung is also being served with a search warrant at his home, so an arrest is likely to follow

That's at least seven arrests in relation to the pre-LegCo primary in July.

[Hong Kong Global Connect @HKGlobalConnect]

UPDATE: Multiple 2020 Legco candidates that participated in the pro-democracy camp primary were arrested at home this morning under the #NationalSecurityLaw for subversion.

[Rachel Cheung @rachel_cheung1]

#HongKong people spoke loud and clear about their determination for democracy when 600,000 participated in the primary elections last year.

Today, Chung is among dozens of candidates arrested for subverting national security.

[Sunny Cheung @SunnyCheungky]

Just in: more than 20 nominees of the 2020 democratic primaries are arrested for breaking the NSL and subverting the regime.

As one of those nominees, I strongly condemn these arrests which reveals the demise of HK. I urge the Free World to take action and contain the #CCP NOW

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

Winning an election is subversion of the state.

Ok then.

A reminder that we signed a treaty promising to protect #HongKong from stuff like this. Where are those promises now?
