The mass arrest of politicians & activists in Hong Kong is a grievous attack on rights and freedoms.
These arrests demonstrate the intended use of the National Security law is to clamp down on dissent and opposing political views.

I’m proud to stand side by side with my fellow #IPAC parliamentarian colleagues from around the world in this conflict with China. Together we stand with Hong Kong and against China’s suppression of the democratic movement. Only one thing to say: Shame on you China. #12HKyouths
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

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
Trade does not take place in a vacuum - these actions mark a violation of the spirit of the #EU-#China investment deal sustainability commitments. This is clearly not a basis for constructive cooperation.
Merkel, Macron, Michel and von der Leyen have so far refused to explain their China deal to the public. So far, so bad. But if they dodge the issue of this Beijing imposed persecution of Hong Kong democrats now, too, they should be considered as leaders in political cowardice.
The sweeping, mass arrest of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong is unacceptable.
If China does not abide by international agreements it has signed, including a treaty that grants a high degree of autonomy to Hong Kong, how can other countries trust China’s word today?
News that #China preventing #WHO investigating #Covid whilst openly dismantling democracy in #HK is a sign of their growing belligerence. Concerted action needed from global community from sanctions to boycotts to hit their pockets. #economy, only realistic pressure point.
Outraged by the shameful arrests of dozens of pro-democracy leaders & activists in Hong Kong. While the Chinese Communist Party seeks to silence dissent and undermine Hong Kong's autonomy, the U.S. stands with the people of Hong Kong and their long-standing commitment to freedom.
The mass arrests of over 50 pan-democratic politicians and activists in #HongKong is one of the most serious attack on rights & freedom in their history. There is no justification for such an outrageous & targeted attack. The UK will not turn our backs on the people of Hong Kong.
#Uyghur entrepreneur Ekpar Asat spent his 35th birthday in prison, secretly sentenced to a 15 yr prison term after attending a U.S. State Department leadership program.
He should be released along with all those arbitrarily detained in #Xinjiang https://t.co/nLx8ZyMbKJ
I appreciate the donation campaign from @ProtonVPN to support organizations in Hong Kong that offer humanitarian assistance to our fellows.
This clip gives you a brief understanding of what's wrong in Hong Kong now and how to support us.

In a powerful interview, Hong Kong activist @nathanlawkc describes how freedom is under attack in HK. Until the end of the month, we’re donating 50% of our revenue in HK to raise HK$1,000,000 for organizations defending freedom in HK: https://t.co/akh2oP9x9q
#BREAKING Joshua is arrested when reporting to Central Police Station at about 1pm today. The arrest is related to participating in an unauthorized assembly on 5Oct last year. He is told to have violated the draconian anti-mask law as well.
1. I am thrilled to learn that I am part of the #TIME100 2020 list. It has been a tough year for me -- leaving my hometown and embarking on an exiled life. But with no regrets, I become more determined to commit myself to the intl advocacy front of the Hong Kong Protest.
Most of you don't know how devastating the situation of the detained 12 HKers in China is: no information, legal services denied, necessary medicine barred. No one knows whether they're alive. If we lack intl pressure, CCP will DO EVERYTHING on them. Make noise, make an impact.
