BREAKING:
HK activists & politicians are arrested under "subversion" due to their participation in pro-democracy camp's primary election.
When one of the most critical Senate races is ongoing in the US, in HK, participation in elections could lead to life-long imprisonment.
When US is handling the election certification, HK gov just arrests nearly all pro-democracy activists and nominees in the primaries today.
As a nominee in the democratic primaries, I urge the US gov and Free World to stay alert and stand with HK by all means.
@JoeBiden@POTUS
Jeffrey Andrews was a mere participant at the primaries. I watched the pre-election forum and never once had he mentioned anything anti-establishment yet he was nicked. Absurd!
#BREAKING Police also raided Joshua’s home for allegedly violating the national security law this morning as he took part in the primary election last year. 50+ democratic activists were arrested.
53 most prominent politicians and activists who participated in the democratic primaries have been arrested this morning. This unprecedented mass arrest has been the biggest crackdown since the implementation of the National Security Law in Hong Kong.😡
#HongKong
In response to Hong Kong's political crackdown, I urge the European Parliament to halt the EU-China investment deal and EU to sanction China&HK officials who are responsible to the arrests.
#Retweet if you agree MEP should VETO the bill and EU should act.
#StandwithHongKong
HSBC’s frozen the accounts of Ted, the exiled former lawmaker, and his family members. HSBC is facilitating CCP’s political persecution, which endangers political dissents, and shockingly, their families. The UK govt should act to show no tolerance to collusion with autocracy.
[#JoshuaWong Letter before sentencing] I said ‘it’s tougher for you to be out there’. By this I mean not only the emotional burden of having friends incarcerated but the sweeping control on many aspects in HK’s society (Credit: AFP)
[Urgent: Petition to #StandWithThailand]

We, Hongkongers, have faced endless political persecution in the year-long ongoing protest. The fight for democracy is a collective battle, and we stand with our fellows in #MilkTeaAlliance.
@nathanlawkc and I launch a global petition to call for support for Thai protesters. Thai Monarch must listen to people and undergo reforms. It’s not the medieval age, Monarch can’t use divine right to justify repression. Plz #StandWithThailand

People should not be afraid of their governments.
Only governments should be afraid of their people.

URGENT! Police disperse democracy protest in front of Bangkok’s Siam Paragon using water cannon to break protesters’s line and pushing through with shields. Protesters defend themselves with umbrellas. @HRW#WhatsHappeningInThailand#16ตุลาไปแยกปทุมวัน#หยุดคุกคามประชาชน
4. Once their voices are silenced, It becomes imperative for us to continue speaking out for them. To prevent #FreedomOfSpeech from being stolen from this country of creativity, #Hongkongers and the world need to #StandWithThailand and spread their words. #FREEDOMFORTHAI
