Today, I reported to Congress that Hong Kong is no longer autonomous from China, given facts on the ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong.
#BREAKING Medical volunteers arrested, their hands tied and locked like fugitives. This is outrageous. The HK govt has lost control over police force. A violent bloodshed is under way.
#PoliceTerrorists are surrounding #PolyU, they are geared up with machine guns and live rounds. Please, please save my brothers and sisters inside. Please save the young lives inside, it will be a mass #massacre if we don’t do anything. It will become another #TianAnMenMassacre
Inside Poly U now with a Reuters team. We’ll stay whatever happens. A sense of foreboding amid grave fears of a bloody showdown, hundreds of tenacious and desperate protesters trapped on all sides by police, some highly on edge #HK#HongKongProtests#StandWithHongKong
The Chinese and #HongKong governments must immediately deescalate the situation and exercise restraint at #PolyU. More violence & bloodshed will only make things worse.
The world is watching. #StandWithHongKong#DemocracyForHK
The shooter is NOT a @hkpoliceforce riot cop. He fired 3 times. I also saw 2 🇭🇰protesters got shot & went down. Are those 2 protesters still alive? We must put them in our prayers.
Barely 9 o’clock in the morning, and across the other side of town, in Kwai Fong, a traffic cop gone berserk on a motorcycle is running protesters over. Several injuries reported. Watch till the very end. It’s very disturbing.
Hong Kong police used water cannon filled with blue chemicals to attack Kowloon Mosque and Islamic Centre. Some citizens helped clean up the area afterwards.
今日、香港のモスクが警察の放水車から放たれた青い液体で攻撃されました。その後、香港市民が自発的に掃除しました。
