Hong Kong used to be one of the freest cities in the WORLD.
But in recent years, that has all changed.
The brutal Chinese government’s goal is to bring Hong Kong under its TOTAL control.
We must support Hongkongers and their struggle for freedom.

1. It’s devastating to witness three of my former colleagues, Joshua, Agnes, Ivan are jailed. The sentencing is absurd. Retweet if you have the same demands:
1.Immediate release of the trio
2.Stop prosecuting under National Security Law
3.Sanction accountable govt officials
I'm saddened by the news that @joshuawongcf, @chowtingagnes & Ivan Lam have been jailed for their activism. These brave young people are symbols of freedom & democracy in #HongKong, values that we will never stop fighting for.
#JoshuaWong 13.5m in jail - via lawyers, “it’s not the end of the fight. Ahead of us is another challenging battleground. We’re now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK.
This week Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow and Ivan Lam were taken into custody in Hong Kong- losing their freedom for bravely championing the freedom of others. Ronald Reagan was right: "Freedom must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation"

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.

Today, the U.S. is designating 11 individuals responsible for the erosion of Hong Kong’s autonomy. We will not stand by while the people of Hong Kong suffer brutal oppression at the hands of the Chinese Communist Party or its enablers.

Sigh. Is the strategy to front-load all these obscenities in the hope that the media will be too desensitised to report them? Is there any strategy? Do they think the world won’t notice? So hard not to despair.
#BREAKING: China to send medical personnel from the mainland to Hong Kong for a large-scale nucleic acid test, as a way to curb the city's continuous #coronavirus outbreak, signalling a citywide collection of DNA samples from Hong Kong population, says Xinhua News Agency.
BREAKING: Mass disqualifications of democratic candidates in #HongKong happening right now.
Another hammer-blow to Hong King’s autonomy.
“Lifeboat” policies have clearly been inadequate to curb Beijing’s bullying. It’s time for coordinated sanctions.
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.
