#HongKongers: in these increasingly dark times for #HongKong, here's what I wrote for you today 👇
I can't promise to change things, but I can promise to do everything possible to help, to redouble my efforts & shine a light, however tiny, on the darkness - & be a 'handfoot' :)
[4 students from 16 to 21 yrs old arrested for inciting secession]
They were followed for several days and arrested for a FB post on "China's nationalism". While phones were hacked after their arrest, it clearly sends a chilling effect on online speech.

#Breaking 19 year old Tony Chung Hon-lam was arrested by National Security Police who raided his apartment, on charges of "inciting secession" under #NationalSecurityLaw.
Chung was the founder of the now disbanded pro-democracy group StudentLocalism @studentlocalism.
@lukedepulford It seems that when the world put more pressure on CCP, CCP respond it by prosecuting more Hong Kongers. We feel scary, helpless but we never surrender. If we burn, CCP burn with us. #fucktheCCP#standwithHongKong
The same thing happened in Nazi Germany to the jews. Any pro-democracy supporter can get arrested in #HongKong, then shipped to a gulag in mainland China where many will not survive. We can't let this happen again! The international community must intervene!
Concerns for retroactive application of Nat’l Sec Law are renewed, as #HongKong govt arrests #TonyChung & 3 others whose political group disbanded before the law went into effect. The Chairs call on HK gov’t to drop charges & for @UN to establish a Special Rapporteur for HK.
Day 19-Today I wrote Cantonese with pen for the first time. My message may not be related to the Bible.But this is what I believe.Hong Kong will not be just a city or state but Hong Kong will return as a great nation like Israel in future by God grace. 🇭🇰🇭🇰#HongKongIndependence
And so it begins.
Beijing Secret Police are now arresting people under the nefarious "National Security Law".
Urgent response needed from @DominicRaab@UKinHongKong
Tony CHUNG Hon-lam, convener of disbanded student organization, Studentlocalism, was arrested in the name of “inciting subversion of state.” This is the first arrest of the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the CPG since it’s foundation on July 1. #NSL

A student activist has sent out an urgent plea on FB - National Security staff (as they so claim) were at his home in Yuen Long and just made an arrest. On site info says he was arrested at 2150 for instigating crime against national security

I posted these 10 IG stories to help my friends back home 🇩🇰 understand what my new home was facing 🇭🇰 every weekend at that time.
1st time I saw reporters directly targeted by @hkpoliceforce fire was that night.
