Thousands of Thai people rally in Bangkok for second day to demand political reforms, defying an emergency decree banning such gatherings https://t.co/iiMwRrUf6B
Everyone should be created equal, and people are entitled to fight against injustice. We #StandWithThailand, because we believe democracy is for all, and we should live in a society that respects everyone.
Be Water, my friend. Stay safe.
Takes a particular sort of scum to brutalise a pregnant woman.
Since July last 2019, the @hkpoliceforce have shown again and again that pregnancy is no defence against their disproportionate brutalising of democracy campaigners.
Really hope she is ok.
We are relieved, for now, that despite the presumption of no bail under the #NationalSecurityLaw - everyone (all arrested on Monday) is home tonight. Our watch continues.
Important piece. Supply chains in the Uyghur Region are among the least transparent and most tainted by slavery anywhere in the world. We can’t continue to pay for mass atrocity crimes to be committed against #Uyghurs

HK police is targeting a US citizen for lobbying my own gov't. I might be the 1st non-Chinese citizen to be targeted, but I will not be the last. If I am targeted, any American/any citizen of any nation who speaks out for HK can-and will be-too.
We are all Hong Kongers now.
Today, I woke up to media reports that I am a wanted fugitive.
My alleged crimes? “Inciting secession” & “colluding with foreign powers” under HK's National Security Law.
Except I am an American citizen & have been for 25 years.
1. THREAD: Like all of you, I found out from news reports that I — along with five other Hong Kongers currently overseas — am on the wanted list for having violated the NSL. I have no idea what is my “crime” and I don’t think that’s important. Perhaps I love Hong Kong too much.
#BREAKING: Hong Kong chief executive, Carrie Lam, announces to delay the upcoming legislative election, which was scheduled for September 6, citing the unceasing #coronavirus outbreak.
12 pro-democracy legislative council candidates are disqualified TODAY. MORE to come tmr. Most of the candidates from the camp are expected to be barred. The govt is constructing a CCP assembly in Legco to eliminate most of the opposition voice. Outrageous.
#HONGKONG
This is a clear test of the international community. Beijing will be paying close attention to the response of the free world. If we fail to meet this outrage with proportionate consequences, things will get worse.
Breaking: Tony Chung, convenor of pro-independent Studentlocalism, is reportedly arrested for "inciting separatism" after national security officers searched his home (source: Facebook). Chung disbanded Studentlocalism prior to the implementation of the National Security Law.
Shocked to learn that this man, reportedly Stephen Ng, seen here perpetrating the vicious 7/21 Yuen Long attacks in #HongKong has fled and taken refuge in Cambridge.
The U.K. should not be a haven for people like this. We will be raising this with the local authorities.
#BREAKING For the first time in 31 years, police issued an objection letter to candlelight vigil on June 4 in Victoria Park, Oriental Daily reported per source.

Tear Gas City:
The police fired TG once again in the city center of Hong Kong, without any forms of disorder from the people. This is the future of Hong Kong under National Security Law: No freedom of assembly and speech.
