As #China prepares to jam the #HongKong crackdown through its “legislature,” tomorrow I will AGAIN go to the Senate floor and ask my colleagues to condemn this attack on democracy and #StandWithHongKong
UN independent #humanrights experts call for decisive measures to protect fundamental freedoms in #China, incl. Hong Kong SAR. They denounce "the repression of protest and democracy advocacy in #HongKong, and impunity for excessive use of force by police."

You must keep popular support of both Hong Kongers and the free world for a long fight. The only way for you to achieve that is to engage in a peaceful resistance.
BREAKING: The Hong Kong Autonomy Act, tabled by @SenToomey and @ChrisVanHollen, alongside @HawleyMO's strong Hong Kong resolution, has just passed the floor of Senate, sending a signal that the US stands with HK.
Vital that @SpeakerPelosi now fast-tracks the Act in the House.
Pompeo said “we should all watch” the Legislative Council election in Hong Kong in September to see if it would be held freely and fairly, or postponed.
As an international community we all have a stake in 🇭🇰success & prosperity. With my @G7 colleagues 🇨🇦🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹 🇯🇵🇺🇸🇪🇺we reiterated our grave concern at China's decision to impose the national security law. HK's autonomy & rights & freedoms must be protected https://t.co/tmab1jYfd3
We stand in solidarity with Hong Kongers as they fight to defend their basic democratic rights and remain free from oppression, so we are asking @SecPompeo and @StateDept to work arm in arm with our allies to find a solution for those fleeing the CCP's obscene crackdown.
The Chinese Communist Party’s callous attempts to exploit George Floyd’s tragic death for its own political gain will fail. During the best of times, Beijing ruthlessly imposes communism. Amid the most difficult challenges, the United States secures freedom.
I call upon the administration to prioritize the admission of persecuted Hong Kongers to the United States through the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
In coordination with our allies, we can help save these brave Hong Kongers from a horrific fate under authoritarian rule.
Hong Kong people are not only brave but also amazing. It was a honor & privilege to witness you making history after May 28 on June 4th. Love ALL freedom loving Hong Kongers. God bless Hong Kong.
