Mass barring of pro-democracy legislators from running in LegCo elections (which may be delayed anyway). Not surprising, but also death knell for any pretense HK had to even a semi democratic system.

[UncleBob2020 @UBob2020]

First they ban dining in, then they arrest some teenagers on suspicion of breaking the national security law, then they retracted the dine-in ban, and now this.

For every 12 hours, something absolutely ridiculous happens in #hongkong.

#BREAKING 12 Hong Kong opposition candidates say they have been disqualified from running in legislative council elections

[Jennifer Creery 紀寳瑩 @creery_j]

#HongKong gov't warns of further disqualifications after 12 pro-democracy LegCo hopefuls had their nominations invalidated.

[Iain Marlow @iainmarlow]

Wow. According to the Hong Kong government, "expressing an objection in principle to the enactment of the National Security Law" means you don't uphold the Basic Law, and can't be a member of the Legislative Council.

民主派の出馬資格一斉取り消しが始まった。古くからの民主派政党からの出馬も取り消されている。
9月の香港立法会議員選挙を延期して出馬も全員無効にするという話がかなり確信的ニュースとして既に流出しているのに、なぜ延期になる選挙で民主派の出馬資格を取り消す必要があるのか。

🇭🇰 JUST IN: Pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong @joshuawongcf is among those barred from upcoming Hong Kong legislative elections, SCMP reports. More @business: https://t.co/x5x9AK0Uzf #香港

[Reinhard Bütikofer @bueti]

It is not democracy, if the government decides, which opposition candidates are allowed. At least 12 Hong Kong opposition candidates barred from Legislative Council bids.

#BREAKING Multiple Hong Kong democracy activists disqualified for election: candidates

[Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 @joshuawongcf]

[I was just disqualified from LegCo election, despite being the biggest winner in #Hkprimaries]

1. Few minutes ago, I was just disqualified from running in the upcoming LegCo election in #Hongkong, even though I got the highest vote share in the primary, w/ 30000+ votes obtained

[Benedict Rogers 羅傑斯 @benedictrogers]

So the disqualifications start even as #HongKong government considers postponing Legislative Council elections.

Total disenfranchisement. Totally outrageous.

@DominicRaab it is time to add #CarrieLam and #HK and #China officials to the #Magnitsky sanctions list.

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

BREAKING: Mass disqualifications of democratic candidates in #HongKong happening right now.

Another hammer-blow to Hong King’s autonomy.

“Lifeboat” policies have clearly been inadequate to curb Beijing’s bullying. It’s time for coordinated sanctions.

Alvin Yeung
Kwok Ka-ki
Cheng Tat-hung

Gwenyth Ho
Ventus Lau

[Nathan Law 羅冠聰 @nathanlawkc]

12 pro-democracy legislative council candidates are disqualified TODAY. MORE to come tmr. Most of the candidates from the camp are expected to be barred. The govt is constructing a CCP assembly in Legco to eliminate most of the opposition voice. Outrageous.

Will China’s Upcoming National Security Law Mark the End of an Autonomous Hong Kong? https://t.co/rjYWXNWpPO

[Richard Graham @RichardGrahamUK]

The arrangements for BNO passport holders were annex to Sino-British JD on HK & so if altered wd be breach of spirit of agmt. But if China unilaterally disregards HK ‘high degree of autonomy’ with security laws from Beijing not HK, then they shd expect we too cd act unilaterally
