Une cinquantaine de figures de l'opposition pro-démocratie ont été arrêtées aujourd'hui à Hong Kong en vertu de la récente loi sur la sécurité nationale, dans le plus grand coup de filet mené à ce jour contre les détracteurs de Pékin au nom de ce texte drastique #AFP

Patten: "Taking advantage of distractions around the world, the CCP has further turned the screw in Hong Kong. It is now clearly to be regarded as illegal to support democracy."

"When terrible things are happening, we cannot simply look the other way.”

This is deeply worrying news from Hong Kong. Democracy is being eroded before our eyes. The Chinese regime is disregarding the Sino-British Joint Declaration. https://t.co/FwNgiZGKRb

One week since we signed the #CAI , and then you read this. What about our European values-based trade agenda? Promoting democracy or executing your freedom of speech or association are no crimes. This crackdown must stop. #HongKong

We condemn the arrests of 52 pro-democracy politicians who ran in the primaries last July that drew 600,000+ HKers. Among the arrested were veteran lawmakers, as well as Jeffrey Andrews, first ethnic minority social worker to run. They are charged with “subversion to the state”.

First they came for the protesters, then the democrats, then the press, then the teachers, then the lawyers, then the judges ...

If we don't speak out now, there'll be no one left to speak out for us

Today, 53 officials and pro-#democracy activists were detained in #HongKong. Why? For their involvement in an informal primary election.

The Chinese government will not be satisfied until the very memory of democracy is erased in Hong Kong, and beyond.

No more!

Thread: The 1st arrest of #HongKong's opposition camp in 2021 is a huge one (>50 as of now), targeting one of the most moderate advocacies. In a sense it may set a precedent of "illegalizing" opposition campaign for elections & will shape the already-tightened ways of expression.

Over 50 pro-Democracy legislators AND even a US Citizen have been arrested today in Hong Kong. It’s now time for the US and the UK to impose strict sanctions on HK and Chinese governments. The gloves must come off now... ⁦@SecPompeo⁩ ⁦@State_E⁩ https://t.co/Dm7shZyo42
