Just in: Police are at home of Ronson Chan, head of 香港記者協會 HKJA and deputy editor of @StandNewsHK, with a court warrant for home search over the crime of “publishing seditious publications”. The live stream was too short to know more details, as police warned not to film.

National security police arrived at the home of Stand News editor Ronson Chan at about 6am this morning over an investigation into “conspiracy to publish seditious publications” according to a brief live stream fb.watch/abhhzAYtSp/

And so the year ends as it started, with more pre-dawn raids and arrests designed to invoke an absolute sense of hopelessness in Hong Kong. The new year has become something not to be celebrated; instead we brace for what comes next: washingtonpost.com/world/2021/12/…

【速報】香港最大手メディアの立場新聞が本日運用停止を発表しました。 理由は関係者６名が今朝、国安法「扇動出版物を発行した罪」で逮捕された為、資金6100万港元(約9億円)が凍結された為です。 スタッフも全員解雇。報道、言論、表現、香港では全て罪です。

Hong Kong: the raid against @StandNewsHK & the arrest of 7 people mark a further deterioration in #PressFreedom in 🇭🇰.Respect for human rights & fundamental freedoms are central to the Basic Law & the “1 country,2 systems” principle. #MediaFreedom = key to those rights & freedoms

Denise Ho, prominent LGBTQ+ activist and pro-democracy advocate in Hong Kong, has had her career destroyed for standing by her principles and is now arrested for sedition. Not only are oppositional voices within the political establishment punished, the ones outside are too.

In a now deleted post, Chinese media site 腾讯新闻 claimed that Huawei was “immediately coming to Russia’s aid” after “cyber attacks” made the internet unstable in 🇷🇺. Article posted on the same day Anonymous targeted Russia. Shocking, even for Huawei.

Today, April 4th, is the #WorldStrayAnimalsDay We found this video circulating on Weibo of stray cats squeezed in bags. The OP of this video claimed these cats are gathered to be culled. #WWF PETA Larry the Cat The Dodo #大翻译运动 #TheGreatTranslationMovement

A Lecturer at Fudan University, Weibo OP specializing in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict with over 1.7M subscribers justifying a potential massacres of Ukrainian civilians by the Russian military. #TheGreatTranslationMovement #大翻译运动 #UkraineRussiaWar

Un compte Weibo (Twitter chinois) vérifié d'info militaire avec 1,1 mil d'abonnés (i.e. ses messages sont hautement approuvés par le PCC), a renversé les faits de manière scandaleuse en affirmant que les "nazis" ukrainiens ont massacré des civils.😡#LaGrandeTraduction

【Do you want to picture a 𝐔𝐭𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐚 where China is the **ONLY** country in the world?】Well, If you really want to, no judgment here, this top comment on Bilibili (Chinese Youtube for young people) and its replies might help. #TheGreatTranslationMovement #大翻译运动

Royal Never Give Up 余霜YSCandice Can I ask what is seen as 'unfair' about the way things have played out? Not trying to start an argument, just looking for a viewpoint from someone closer to the LPL scene than myself.

The Queen is loved by millions of Hong Kong people. The thoughts and prayers of us are with The Queen and her family.

The Queen died peacefully at Balmoral this afternoon. The King and The Queen Consort will remain at Balmoral this evening and will return to London tomorrow.

Queen Elizabeth the Great, 1926-2022 Your loss is intolerably hard, especially now. We are deeply in your debt. Rest in peace, Ma’am.

The Queen's first visit to Hong Kong in May 1975. Years went on, and people still talked about it. May she rest in peace.

A statement from His Majesty The King:

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

I extend my deepest condolences to the Royal Family, the United Kingdom & the Commonwealth on the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Taiwan remembers & celebrates her life of leadership & service, which set an example for people around the world.
