.Mitch McConnell Defends Democratic Activists in Burma, Hong Kong Remarks: bit.ly/3qfcXGx Video: youtu.be/KTZ2ypnfgho

LR Michael McCaul “With #HongKong's autonomy dismantled under the #CCP’s national security law, dozens of Hong Kongers are being prosecuted for the ‘crime’ of trying to win an election.

As #China imprisons more advocates for democracy in #HK, there is silence from our Govt. They should be pressing UK companies to stop investing there. #Uyghurlivesmatter #HongKongProtests

Protester Grandma Wong, aged 64 with grey hair & British flag, presence in 3 consecutive days of the 47 pro-democracy activists’ bail hearings. #IHaveADream that one day the #HongKong nation will rise up & live out the true meaning of its creed. Let freedom ring from Hong Kong.

#BREAKING: A committee in Hong Kong’s legislature today approved an amendment proposed by the security bureau that enables the government to bar people from leaving the city. The bill will be deliberated in the general meeting, and will take effect as early as August 1 if passed.

I never thought i can develop such a kind of anger. Fighting heavy with myself not to loose humanity about all the inhumanity we witness. All the hunted, hurted, wounded and killed lifes in #Myanmar #HongKong #China #AndSoOn 😡 Evry single of those souls are our duty to resist!

On his way to the court from prison, Joshua Wong 黃之鋒 😷 hold up 3 fingers and a gesture of heart. He is one of the bravest and most sturdy democratic activists that I have ever met. I think his heart and minds are occupied by the struggles around the world, including in #Myanmar.

Secretary Antony Blinken on our relationship with China: "It requires standing up for our values when human rights are abused in Xinjiang or when democracy is trampled in Hong Kong, because if we don’t, China will act with even greater impunity." state.gov/a-foreign-poli…

Regrettably many details in court could not be reported due to legal restrictions; but what happened outside the court can be reported. See a @StandNewsHK photo of the 47’s gestures when getting on the prison van to the court:

#EU cannot condemn human rights abuses in #Xinjiang and #HongKong while also providing a platform to promote those who publicly deny the atrocities in Xinjiang and celebrate the arrest of democracy activists in Hong Kong‼️

HK is delivering a Master Class in showing that people who say, the law is the law, and therefore has to be followed are ass wipes. The law is exactly what the government says it is. That’s why having a moral & ethical government is worth fighting for.

#BREAKING: 15 of the 47 defendents were granted bail. Yet, they were back to remand as the Secretary of Justice immediately applied for appeal against the bail decision. They will go to High Court within 48 hours.

#HongKong Our Chair has been following the mass hearings of #HK47 defendants charged with subversion under #NSL. The hearings have been conducted over 4 long days/nights & decisions just reached. Only 15 granted bail, DOJ appealed, now remanded for 48 hours until High Ct hears.🧵

#BREAKING: An eleventh-hour item on the shake-up of Hong Kong’s electoral systems has been added to the agenda as the National People’s Congress in Beijing is to convene an annual plenum on Friday, says Hong Kong media Now News. #HongKongProtests

Our full statement on the detention, charges, and bail denials of the #hongkong47.

China continues to take freedom from Hong Kongers, among millions of others. The authoritarian rule from the Communist party is denying basic human rights, punishing pro-democracy citizens, & acting with more impunity than ever before. The WH needs to wake up to this threat.

#HongKongers, #Uyghurs, #Tibetans, friends across #China: as criminal #CCP regime continues its 20th Party Congress, here's my message which I wrote earlier today, in my own hand, following the brutal attack in Manchester and ahead of the launch of my new book, #TheChinaNexus:

Recently created Twitter account appears attempting to exculpate the Chinese Consulate in #HKBob saga with heavily edited video splicing material clearly gathered mainly through Consulate CCTV. Wonder who’s behind the account 🤔

5 years ago I was denied entry to #HongKong on #Beijing's orders- although I've always been peaceful 3 days ago, peaceful #HongKongers were beaten up by #CCP thugs in #Manchester Time to stand up to #XiJinping's goons Why should I be banned while Zheng Xiyuan roams free?

每一次黎，心情都好沉重 應該講啲咩、唔應該講啲咩 無力感 #HongKongers
