It's Wednesday evening and I should be writing my weekly piece for #AppleDaily
Instead:
I have spent the day talking about the death of @appledaily_hk
and this evening speaking about it at a protest at @10DowningStreet
and tonight saying farewell.
Thank you 🍎
❤️🍎😭🙏
‘Painful farewell’: Hongkongers queue for hours to buy final Apple Daily edition | The Guardian
Million copies printed of last issue as journalists at newspaper that was forced to close mourn ‘historical moment’.

I am still very worried about my dearest friend Agnes Chow, who is still in prison and suffering from political suppression. Hope that the governments in democratic countries can put more effort to pressure the Chinese regime to release political prisoners in Hong Kong.
Outrageous and very concerning
The international community must respond robustly to yet another flagrant breach of an international treaty and fundamental human rights
@DominicRaab - time for #Magnitsky sanctions for #HongKong now.

This morning I received these photos from #Myanmar/#Burma
This little baby's father was shot dead and mother arrested in Kyik Pi, Kyik Htoo Township, Mon State
What kind of army takes a baby's parents away, by gunshot and handcuff?

One-year-old baby in Thamine, Yangon, was shot in the eye with rubber bullet as he was playing by the coup regime’s armed forces today (Mar 27). Dozens have been killed across the country today. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
Andy is still missing despite being transferred back to HK.
It’s the 4th day since we last heard from him and we were told that Andy was not at any CSD premises, the place where he should be remanded at according to the Court.
Are the police still holding onto Andy secretly?
😭 Lots of friends arrested today in #HK
Remember the international community (esp the UK) has legal obligations to prevent this from happening.
If we get another hand-wringing 5-eyes statement about “serious concern” I swear....
Jailing a young woman like Agnes Chow and young men like Ivan Lam and Joshua Wong – simply because they love Hong Kong – is a travesty of justice. You cannot fight the future, time is on their side. https://t.co/Or8CmXkrWX
Could there be a more potent symbol of the authoritarian takeover of Hong Kong than the government stealing years from the lives of young democracy activists?
Joshua, Agnes, Ivan: respect.
