Outragous, totally and utterly unjust, and horrific.
It is now time - long, long overdue - for the free world to act, to sanction #HongKong and Beijing #CCP tyrants
Police charge almost 50 under National Security Law https://t.co/lHSigjPZGV
"Today marks the first time that almost every prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist is either in jail, exile, or on trial awaiting sentencing." @benedictrogers on the charging of 47 pro-democracy activists under the NSL. https://t.co/JoNuEFsAUu
Charges against 47 pro-democrat is of great concern to #EU. These make clear that legitimate political pluralism will no longer be tolerated in #HongKong. We urge authorities to abide by their commitments to fundamental #freedoms and the rule of law, as per the #BL and #ICCPR
47 people charged for organising a legitimate election in #HongKong. Their lives will never be the same. Will this latest abomination draw more than “serious concern” from our diplomatic service? 😡
#BREAKING:As more among the 55 arrestees are being requested to report on Sunday, it is suspected that they will be detained at police stations overnight and be sent to court directly on Monday morning.
#NationalSecurityLaw
Democratic figures arrested under the National Security Law last month are requested to report to the police this Sunday. It is suspected that charges might be put. Bails could be denied and years of imprisonment may ensue if they are convicted.
Please pay attention to the case.
We strongly condemn the arrests of pro-democracy activists who stood in last year's democratic primaries. Beijing is once again undermining Hong Kong's democracy & breaching its obligations under the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
#BREAKING#HongKong wakes up to another round of arrests of pro-democracy activists. Several ppl, includ LSD's Leung Kwok-hung, Tiffany Yuen from disbanded Demosisto & Ventus Lau, were arrested over #NationalSecurityLaw, for joining pan-dems Legco primaries in July.
The scale of this crackdown is unprecedented.
The free world must now act in an unprecedentedly robust manner.
Tough, targeted, coordinated sanctions.
A generous worldwide lifeboat scheme.
A UN Special Rapporteur
Cancellation of the ridiculous EU-CCP investment deal.
NOW.
.@realDonaldTrump tonight says Senate leadership has promised votes on bills to increase the #covid relief payments to $2000 for working people AND to terminate #Section230. Let’s vote!
So Hunter Biden is officially under federal investigation for various crimes. Still claim it’s all Russian disinformation, @Facebook and @Twitter? Will you be fact checking the prosecutors? https://t.co/97Yr3zhMBi
WATCH: Video footage from Georgia shows suitcases filled with ballots pulled from under a table AFTER supervisors told poll workers to leave room and 4 people stayed behind to keep counting votes
The founder of @appledaily_hk Jimmy Lai is denied bail by the national security court this morning. He will be in custody until April 16th next year, at least. He faces a charge of fraud with two senior staff.
As Hong Kong court is being criticised by protesters for siding with the authorities on suppressing pro-democracy activists, today the court refused @appledaily_hk’s founder Jimmy Lai’s bail while let two of the paper’s managers go. He’s remanded until April 16. #HongKongProtests
