We arranged and went into the meeting as Hongkongers, but we are also citizens of the world.
“In the face of the recent tragedy,” I told Leader McConnell at the end, “we should all do something to protect our children.”
As part of the regular dialogue, I had another phone conversation with @BorisJohnson. We talked about strengthening defense support for 🇺🇦, intensifying work on security guarantees, supplying fuel to Ukraine. We must work together to prevent a food crisis and unblock 🇺🇦 ports.
612 Humanitarian Fund(disbanded) arrestees include Roman Catholic Cardinal Joseph Zen, singer @hoccgoomusic, lawyer Margaret Ng & scholar Hui Po-keung.
90yo Cardinal Zen in particular is a fierce critic of China against CCP’s treatment of underground Christians.
God Bless him.
The arrest of Cardinal Zen @CardJosephZen,
echoed the arrest of Cardinal Kung Pin-mei,who was jailed by the Communist Party as he refused to surrender to the state controlling the Church in 1950s.Many Catholic bishops were persecuted on the mainland,and now #HK.
Barrister Margaret Ng among trustees of defunct protest fund arrested by Hong Kong police - sources - Hong Kong Free Press @HKFP https://t.co/S1arqNuX2M
The arrest of @CardJosephZen is important news. At 90, Zen still stands strong (not literally, his back is not good). He visits up to 3 prisons across Hong Kong within a day. No one does that, but he can. He offers spiritual support for many in jail.

Hong Kong independence activist @maxmokchito throws Chinese yuan over Gladys Liu to protest her ties to the Chinese dictatorship. She defends a regime with one million Uyghurs in concentration camps. WHY DOES SCOTT MORRISON DEFEND HER? #auspol
This is an outrage. Hong Kong authorities arrest 90-year-old Catholic cardinal for the crime of his faith in God and individual liberty. Cardinal Zen presents no threat to the Chinese people. To the contrary, he is their biggest champion. 1/x
#612HumanitarianReliefFund trustee #HuiPoKeung reportedly arrested at #HongKong airport for "collusion with foreign forces" under the #NationalSecurityLaw as he sought to depart. Now defunct, 612HRF was the biggest defense fund for protesters. https://t.co/HwxOzCHQXL
Sources said Catholic Cardinal Zen and other founders of the 612 Fund in #Hongkong are arrested. One of them was arrested last night, allegedly colluding with foreign forces. Cardinal Zen,the Emeritus Bishop of HK, like other cardinals, is a prince of the #HolySee.
In an act of outrageous intimidation, China's courageous Cardinal Joseph Zen has been arrested by Hong Kong’s national security police, along with barrister, Margaret Ng and singer Denise Ho Wan-sze- 3 of 5 trustees of the 612 Humanitarian Relief Fund. https://t.co/hE5B5kQ3ob
A Catholic cardinal has been arrested for doing his religious duty in Hong Kong. This is a test for @Pontifex: How far is the Pope willing to go, and how much will he sacrifice, to make nice with the CCP? https://t.co/AZlVvWc5Q2
