Hours of interrogation haven’t dented @JimmyLaiApple’s humour. The following exchange happened when the questioned on the subject of his boat.
Police: “what’s on the boat”
Jimmy : “nothing”
Police: “what’s under the boat”
Jimmy: “a fucking engine”
Even the police laughed. 🤣
My deepest respect to Apple Daily reporters who are continuing to stand firm, to do their jobs and to live-stream the monumental developments in their newsroom today despite the risks. A continuation of their true public service at the forefront of the protests last year. Humbled
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
White terror, politics of fear dispersed in Hong Kong under National Security Law. This is the first case that an individual is arrested on the doorstep under #NSL. It targets activists and quashes freedom of expression of HK people. Please be aware of it.
#BREAKING: Confirmed by several local media, Tony Chung, convener of the disbanded pro-independence group Student Localism, is arrested for conspiracy to invite others to commit secession. Chung is the first known arrest over the newly national security law. #HongKongProtests
.@SecPompeo: The Chinese Communist Party is crushing freedom in Hong Kong, threatening a free Taiwan, trying to dominate world communications network, cheating left and rights on international agreements.
Absolutely shocked that two UK Citizens are behind the police brutality in #hongkong where innocent ppl where murdered and raped inside the @hkpoliceforce stations. I will get justice in our UK Court of Law against these two criminals
#justicewillbeserved
#BREAKING: The US is considering a blanket travel ban on members of the Communist Party of China.
Put your hand up if you think we should too. 🙋♂️🙋♂️
Speaking up for justice does make a difference! After a major public outcry, the NBA store WILL allow "Free Hong Kong" on jerseys! On with the revolution! #HongKong@Stand_with_HK@hkdc_us@hk_watch @FreedomHKG @SolomonYue @HongKongFP @dc4_hk#HKers

@RepTedYoho@realDonaldTrump Really pleased to learn about this.
Definitely, we need banks to know money mustn't undermine the principles of #HumanRights. They need a change as big as that during the sub prime crisis a decade ago.

#China's companies have no inherent right to operate in #India. New Delhi may--and should--remove them, and Washington should remove Chinese companies from America as well, preferably all of them.
Law called on the international community to put human rights above the financial interests of trading with the world’s second largest economy and to “multilaterally deal with the China issue in a more assertive way.”
