Amazing. Years in prison. Just convicted for seeking to commemorate Tiananmen, and still smiling defiantly. Chow Hang-tung is an absolute tower of strength.

HK's Tiananmen activists guilty in national security trial https://t.co/u0IRTEAycI

Following the convictions of Chow Hang-tung & Lee Cheuk-yan in Hong Kong, I've started a new series of translations of CHT's prison writings-now after 5 years, they amount to hundreds of pages. This 1st post also includes links to previous CHT translations https://t.co/3dp968RmCV

No words for the dystopia Hong Kong has become, where remembering the Tiananmen dead is subversion, and good people go to prison for organising civic activities that would be applauded and anywhere else.

The @GOVUK says China is in “ongoing non compliance” with the still-in-force treaty that was supposed to prevent this kind of thing. But the 🇬🇧 hasn’t done anything about that non-compliance except leave it a few years and then return with a begging bowl.

By failing to respond meaningfully to violation after escalating violation, the UK allowed China to push the envelope with no consequences. The UK has a duty under the Sino British Joint Declaration to uphold Hong Kong’s autonomy. We did not discharge this duty. We allowed China to crush it, and did nothing about it.

These three convictions are on us.

It may be but a small/temporary legal victory but it's good to get reportage of Clarisse Yeung, Helena Wong, Owen Chow, Winnie Yu, Gwyneth Ho, Lam Cheuk-ting, Gordon Ng, Cheng Tat-hung, Kalvin Ho, Raymond Chan and "Long Hair" Leung Kwok-hung, inc. updates re how they appear.

[YTSL @FY4Chan]

There may be no grand, flashy scenes but there are some that will take your breath away. They certainly did for me!

Also, it's not just the story and dialogue that's good. The acting is too! ("Dog Day Evening" really has a strong cast! 💪)

[YTSL @FY4Chan]

BTW, "Dog Day Evening" is screening at the 2026 New York Asian Film Festival!

@inmediahk reports that at approx 4:40am, a court watcher in line for the Jimmy Lai trial sentencing proceedings was detained and taken away by the police after she was found with an Apple Daily keychain, Apple Daily being the newspaper founded by Jimmy Lai.

Starmer must not visit China without having first secured the release of Jimmy Lai. A red line pre-requisite of any visit.

It is unconscionable for Labour to continue their mindless cosying-up to the Chinese Communist Party while a British National is imprisoned in torturous conditions.

We knew the trial was a formality and Jimmy would be found guilty. Yet today the Government had nothing but words of condemnation to offer.

[歐洲動態(國際) @europechinese]

the "clarification" basically means @Channel4 , @AJEnglish , @CNN etc reported and spread fake news

[Carmen Lau 劉珈汶 @carmenkamanlau]

1/ Damage caused by Xinyan Huang’s reckless speculation cannot be undone. By rushing to global platforms @Channel4News, @AJEnglish, @CNN, @NBCNews etc. to blame bamboo scaffolding, he prioritised a hot take over accuracy. This was unprofessional & irresponsible.

[Luke de Pulford @lukedepulford]

Hong Kong’s CCP puppets so terrified of civil society that they will not even let people assist fire victims, let alone demand to know why so many people died in a preventable tragedy.

[Samuel Bickett @SamuelBickett]

The fire disaster in Hong Kong is a big test of whether there is any space for public advocacy left in the city. So far, it seems not: a student who organized a mild petition calling for official accountability has been arrested.

[Razven @RazvenHK]

Today marks the 6th year since the passing of Alex Chow Tsz-lok.

A lot has changed since his passing, but may he rest in peace knowing that his memory and his struggle lives on.

[Kris Cheng @krislc]

Over 30 years ago, Cheng was a member of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party, openly advocated for Taiwan Independence, and condemned the KMT government as a “brutal regime”. She has joined the KMT for 20 years but it is still shocking looking back at this

[Samuel Bickett @SamuelBickett]

The @USChinaBusiness Council is rolling out the red carpet for Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan this Friday in Washington, DC. Several Hong Kong human rights advocates, including me, asked to attend and were denied. Apparently, only yes-men and softballs allowed.

[Lord (David) Alton @DavidAltonHL]

In 2019 in Hong Kong it was my privilege to present Joshua Wong with the Westminster Award for Human Rights, Human Life and Human Dignity. His continued imprisonment is an affront to justice. One day Joshua’s courage and defence of democracy will be celebrated in the halls of the heroes. Today we wish him many happy returns.
