[Antony Blinken @ABlinken]

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

#BREAKING: #IPAC statement on the arrest of over 50 Hong Kong activists.

We call on democratic countries to take immediate action at the United Nations and to consider what joint, punitive economic action can be taken to ensure the Chinese government reconsiders its actions.

[Kristian Odebjer @KO_HongKong]

Just to be clear, #HK political crackdown is having a significant negative impact on business. Legitimate questions about rule of law raised + as #HK image deteriorates, it becomes more and more difficult to defend why you should maintain costly operations here

[Nikki 🇺🇸 🌸 @nikki_miumiu]

Today marks the #InternationalHumanRightsDay, @hrw analysed a leaked list of more than 2,000 detainees in #Xinjiang’s Aksu prefecture, found out #CCP is using big data to select #Muslims for detention.

"Beijing is destroying the last vestiges of freedom and rule of law in Hong Kong."

#IPAC 🇩🇪 co-chair @MargareteBause addresses the Bundestag, calling for Germany to not reward the Chinese government with a lucrative EU-China investment deal in light of abuses in Hong Kong.

[Nick 😷 stand with Ukraine @NickDemocracy]

70 years ago founder of #CUHK fled #CCP coercion and founded CUHK. Today #HKPoliceTerrorists were called by CUHK to investigate into their students’ protests. Pure disgraceful.

[Hong Kong Liberty 攬炒團隊 @HKLiberty_Team]

It has been 90 days since the 12 pro-democracy youths were arrested by the Chinese coast guard in late August when fleeing #HongKong for #freedom. We must never forget them and fight until they come back to HK safe and sound. #save12hkyouths https://t.co/Ys1Ns166MN

Apple trying to water down Uyghur Forced Labor act in back room Senate lobbyings. They should be yelling at Chinese partners and administrations that are entangling them in Xinjiang atrocities. ⁦@Apple⁩ , how much concentration camp is ok for you? https://t.co/kl6zjcBkln

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

An open letter today from #hkprotestors who are now detained in prisons for their democratic causes.

Fighting a common battle to safeguard liberties, #HKers share our fellow #Thais’ feelings & will #standwithThailand in their fight against tyranny together.

#MilkTeaAlliance

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

Dozens of #hkpolice deliberately travelled miles to hunt down #HK12youths’ parents, just because they flew balloons and called for #save12hkyouths

Even 2 reporters were accused of violating gathering ban because they carried two balloons.

Political crackdown to a new level

[Hong Kong Watch @hk_watch]

Yet another unjust and unacceptable National Security Law arrest, this time of a journalist. Alarming seeing 'money laundering' charges used as an excuse to crackdown on opposition fundraising.

BREAKING: #IPAC statement on the expulsion of opposition lawmakers from the Hong Kong Legislative Council.

This blatant assault on Hong Kong's autonomy demonstrates the contempt with which the Chinese Communist Party regards the Hong Kong people and their democratic values [1/2]

[Hong Kong Free Press HKFP @hkfp]

"We stand for the people of Hong Kong, we fight for democracy in the long run - today, we will resign from our positions," said Democratic Party chief Wu Chi-wai, after 4 democrats were ousted by the #HongKong gov't. https://t.co/MJF7MPjwK5
