I met many #HK #AsylumSeekers over the pass2yrs. Some of them have no idea what it means. Some never set foot in a western country. Communities that should have welcomed & helped these most vulnerable individuals also become sources of abuse 🙏@amyhawk_ @tom_levitt @Hilaire2Eric

Street VoxPop on Article 23 consultation: almost all no comment, one said afraid of criticising govt,

With the last one in People’s Liberation Army Desert tactical suit - “Everyone wants to criticise the govt now, a word and becoming seditious?”

#TransnationalRepression

“We didn’t think the UK was 100% safe, but we didn’t realise we could face so much repression” said #HongKong activists in exile to @mayjamesuk https://t.co/RfL37IRflV

I heard the same last week from #Tibetans facing the CCP’s transnational repression.

My latest collaboration with the @guardian. Pro-democracy supporters who fled Hong Kong for Britain speak about continued harassment, threats and physical attacks.

@Mahatmalor Well....🤷🏻‍♀️.. I have a friend who manufactures umbrellas, and said that he had to disassemble parts before sending samples to HK during COVID-19. No way to send a full umbrella

[May James @mayjamesuk]

Umbrella is officially forbidden to bring into #HongKong #hkairport #prohibited #controlled #articles

China's latest plan to silence dissent. SUNDAY on #60Mins, the pro-Beijing leader who's put a bounty on the heads of its critics, including a democracy-loving Australian.

#Bricklane becomes a graffiti hotspot. Initial art promoting CCP met with backlash. Tower Hamlets cleansed CCP messages but @weareallchainedwomen responds, targeting Xi Jinping with provocative slogans. #Orwell '1984' quotes add tension. The saga shows the ties of art & politics

Sedition clampdown hits 'ordinary' Hong Kongers
Kim Hau, a former tea shop owner who was convicted of sedition, said the offence remains "wide and mysterious" to her.

A view between 2019 & 2023 on June 4. #HongKong has been commemorating the #TiananmenSquareMassacre for decades. However, 23 were arrested last night over candles, clothes & slogans associated with #June4 remembrance. Even a car with "8964" license plate was towed away.
