The speed with which Beijing are using this law to make arrests is alarming. These charges are vaguely defined and carry disproportionate sentencing.

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

And so it begins.

Beijing Secret Police are now arresting people under the nefarious "National Security Law".

Urgent response needed from @DominicRaab @UKinHongKong

Heartbreaking! A young girl in HK hiding behind a chair during this past weekend’s police brutality. A powerful visual of why the revolution must continue! #HongKong ⁦@FreedomHKG⁩ ⁦@Stand_with_HK⁩ ⁦@hk_watch⁩ ⁦@Fight4HongKong⁩ ⁦@SolomonYue⁩ #Hk

China’s systematic oppression of #Uyghurs, #Mongolians, #Tibetans, and #HongKongers is appalling. We stand in solidarity with all religious & ethnic minorities facing persecution in #China, as well as all those fighting for their fundamental rights and freedoms. #HumanRightsDay

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

From the dehumanization of the Uighur community to the crackdown on courageous protestors in Iran, we must never turn a blind eye to attacks on human dignity. The moral gravity of these assaults on basic human rights compels us to act. #HumanRightsDay https://t.co/6fAGrl507M

[Department of State @StateDept]

.@SecPompeo: China’s repressive campaign in #Xinjiang is not about terrorism. It’s about China’s attempt to erase its own citizens’ Muslim faith and culture.

[The Wall Street Journal @WSJ]

China decried Hong Kong's election as a sabotage campaign orchestrated by antiestablishment forces, but it offered little evidence to back its claim https://t.co/DUbzg4ppG5

In Opinion

Karen Cheung writes, "I think we are now a generation defined and united by trauma. We hang on and let life bring us slivers of peace. When we’re done coping, we look again. We owe it to Hong Kong."

Carrie Lam is clearly in denial that the dissatisfaction is with Communist China’s oppressive regime.

The people of #HongKong’s desire for human rights and democracy is echoing loudly and they will not stop until they regain what is rightfully theirs.

[Department of State @StateDept]

.@SecPompeo congratulates #HongKong on free, fair and peaceful elections, and underscores U.S. support for democracy in Hong Kong.

[Leader John Thune @LeaderJohnThune]

As Americans pause to reflect on the blessings we enjoy, our liberties are sharply contrasted by China’s strict censorship that blocks and twists the #HongKong discussion & #Iran’s tactic of shutting off the internet and its brutal response to protests.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

I urge Pres. Trump to immediately sign the Hong Kong Human Rights & Democracy Act. We must send a clear and strong message that the entire U.S. government supports the democratic ambitions of the people of Hong Kong. This must not become a bargaining chip in trade negotiations.

[Rep. Alan Lowenthal @RepLowenthal]

I applaud the people of Hong Kong for their historic vote for freedom, democracy and autonomy this weekend!

[Hong Kong Watch @hk_watch]

Lord Alton of Liverpool said that “a window of opportunity has been opened. The HK authorities must respond and not squander the opportunity to end political paralysis.”
