Together with @SecPompeo 🇺🇸, @MarisePayne 🇦🇺 & @FP_Champagne 🇨🇦, 🇬🇧 makes clear that mass arrests under National Security Law are designed to crush dissent in Hong Kong, not restore order. China must keep its word & respect rights & freedoms of HK people https://t.co/FpU29Dq3Ke
A simple reason to why you might want to #StandWithHongKong - “Hong Kong’s Today is the World’s Tomorrow”.
Let’s stop #China’s terrorism before it’s too late, #TogetherWeCan.
THREAD: Statement from Lord Patten and @benedictrogers on mass arrests.
Patten: "Taking advantage of distractions around the world, the CCP has further turned the screw in Hong Kong. It is clearly to be regarded as illegal to support democracy..."

À #HongKong 🇭🇰, une cinquantaine d'activistes et de figures du mouvement pro-démocratie ont été arrêtés mercredi, en vertu de la récente loi de sécurité nationale
Nobody is safe in Hong Kong anymore. Even a foreign national can be arrested under the new law. Beijing's plan to fully destroy Hong Kong is ongoing - and the EU is doing nothing but concluding an investment agreement with the dictators in Beijing.

Ms T believes real #Hongkonger will not forget 831 and should remind the next generations to remember the violent scene last year, despite the gathering ban and pandemic. Today marks the 1yr after Prince Edward MTR Station incident and #HongKongProtests seem in MOKO mall.
No HongKonger will ever forget and forgive the #831PrinceEdwardAttack.
Throughout the day, police have shot 2410 teargas, 920 rubber bullets, 100 bean bag rounds, 1K sponge rounds. Then ended it with a subway station massacre, causing severe casualties & deaths. #PoliceBrutality
One year ago today, not only did HK witness the #831PrinceEdwardAttack, but we saw the HKPF leave injured citizens without medical care; while stopping first aiders from providing medical assistance to those inside the Yau Ma Tei MTR station..
#HongKongers: on this terrible anniversary, this is what I've written 👇
Forgiveness is a virtue. But forgiveness isn't cheap. It can only come with repentance & justice
In #HongKong today #HKPF thugs rule with terror & impunity
I stand with #831PrinceEdwardAttack victims
THREAD: Tomorrow is anniversary of #831PrinceEdwardAttack by brutal #HKPF
I have decided to do a 24 hour fast/hunger strike for #HongKong in solidarity with all #HongKongers
A fast - accompanied by prayer - and a hunger strike - accompanied by protest

[ 🇫🇷 My letter to President @EmmanuelMacron]
Yesterday, I appealed to the President of France Macron to raise concerns over the human rights violation in Hong Kong with Chinese FM Wang Yi.
It’s important that the democracies stand together and defend democratic values.

[HK asylum seekers could be sent to #China's secret courts]
1. Twelve #HKers, all involved in #hkprotests, were detained by #China’s coast guard today when fleeing to #Taiwan for political asylum. All of them are now detained in #China.
Why have elected legislators @cheuktinglam
and @tedhuichifung been arrested, instead of the pro-CCP thugs who so brutally assaulted people at #YuenLong?
