Youth activist @chowtingagnes announces exile in Canada. #CCP ‘s ruthless persecution has shattered the lives of many freedom fighters in #HongKong. We stand with Agnes & all the bright souls targeted by the regime. Until the day when #freedom reigns again.
Today’s news that Agnes Chow is in Canada, safe from the oppressive regime in #HongKong, has touched many HongKongers. Already, images & tributes are emerging:

A man holding a white flower & wearing a "HK (香港)" shirt was arrested outside Sogo in Causeway Bay at 5pm. Police wrestled him to the ground amid outraged onlookers. Today is the #DayOfMourning in #HongKong (known as National Day in China).
