Jailed activist & former organiser of the #June4 vigil #ChowHangTung & 5 other individuals arrested for social media postings “with seditious intent”, days ahead of the 35th anniversary of the #TiananmenMassacre
A new round of #CCP crackdown begins.
I find it moving to re-watch this 2020 @BBCNews report on #GloryToHongKong
The expressions on the faces. Does Beijing really think it can extinguish this yearning?
#HongKong court accedes to government's appeal, grants injunction banning protest song #GloryToHongKong/#願榮光歸香港: It's “necessary” to persuade global online platforms to remove “problematic videos” of the song to "safeguard national security." https://t.co/eltrPjUKVd
Protest in Los Angeles at the Chinese consulate against draconian new #Article23 national security legislation imposed on #HongKong.
Two dozen protests worldwide this weekend.
No matter what the CCP & HK gov’t do, HKers will keep fighting for our #freedom.
#光復香港時代革命
BREAKING: Draconian #Article23 national security legislation has just been passed by the rubber-stamp Legislative Council by a vote of 89-0, cementing #HongKong's status as a full-fledged authoritarian polity. Yet another milestone in HK's very dark recent history.
The new national security law targets foreign entities in HK. The vague laws empower the government to arbitrarily label anyone as a "foreign agent." Journalists are targeted as "state secret" can be almost anything.
Civil society further collapsed.

As Hongkongers commemorate #June12 around the world #Southampton protesters are assaulted by Chinese students from @unisouthampton.
We strongly condemn this hate crime and urge the university and law enforcement to take serious action against those thugs.
Recently created Twitter account appears attempting to exculpate the Chinese Consulate in #HKBob saga with heavily edited video splicing material clearly gathered mainly through Consulate CCTV.
Wonder who’s behind the account 🤔
#BREAKING: Activists Wong Yat-chin, Chan Chi-sum and Chu Wai-ying from Student Politicism (賢學思政) are jailed for 36, 34 and 30 months respectively.
They earlier pleaded guilty to "conspiracy to incite subversion" over street booths calling for overthrowing Beijing.
The injuries of the protester at the PRC consulate in Manchester today who people from inside the consulate tried to pull inside the compound by his hair, gouging his eyes and reportedly also kicking him. UK authorities must investigate. Who exactly were these consulate thugs?
A photo of a Manchester police officer rescuing a protester from PRC consulate people (presumably staff) who tried to pull the protester into the consulate compound, dragged him by the hair and put fingers in his eyes.
Sun afternoon, PRC consulate, Manchester: people from consulate exited gate to tear down satirical Xi Jinping pic, then dragged protesters inside compound & roughed them up before police arrived & separated them. No arrests reported.
