Once again, China is the top jailer of journalists
Although this is a recurring trend, it’s not normal or acceptable
Chinese people deserve freedom of expression and access to information, especially on events and politics happening inside China itself
🔴 CPJ’s 2023 prison census shows that Israel is among top jailers of journalists worldwide, as imprisonments globally continue unabated.

Conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and acts with seditious intent are both “vague and ambiguous” dimensions of the

as concluded by UN

Committee in 2022
Clearly a political arrest at a time when intl focus is on

bounties
Every case deserves justice

5 years after the first 2019 anti-extradition protests in Hong Kong, I’m at the June 4th Memorial Museum
@64museum
in New York, reflecting on how generations of protestors have inspired and supported each other across the region in pursuit of rights & freedom. We persevere today.

Devastating and deeply accurate to see that

has been downgraded to “closed” the lowest level for civil society operations. Reflects the impacts of the
#NSL
on
#right
and
#freedom
esp
#freedomofexpression
and
#freedomofassociation
🇭🇰
#HongKong
has been downgraded to 'closed' in new

ratings report:
❌ National Security Law used to criminalise dissent
❌ Independent media outlets shut down
❌ Civil society and unions forced to disband

Increasing cooperation between Hong Kong and Mainland Chinese courts means increasing erosion of “one country, two systems” and another blow to the judicial independence that is left
A civil and commercial arrangement between the Mainland and Hong Kong comes into operation

It was wrong to not be able to voice ourselves against or criticise the HK government. Now as we see HK being more integrated into China, we gain a longer list of things we cannot say or do. We must keep supporting Uyghurs and other victims of the CCP. Never back down.

Completely absurd actions from

- as repeated at the

last week, the
#HKNSL
has “flexibility” + extraterritoriality, so any

… anywhere in the world can face

. Violations of

includ

I just received this from the Hong Kong Police, asking me to surrender to them under the arrest warrant for incitement to secession and collusion with foreign forces. What do you think I should say in reply?

Today in
#HK
- trying to make a song illegal and removing it from the internet.
It’s a peaceful song that I love listening to, as an exercise of my right to
#freedomofexpression
and
#culturalrights
We will not be silenced or oppressed. Let’s play Glory to Hong Kong 📣
The Dept of Justice says it applied to the court on June 5 for an injunction and interim injunction to prohibit four items of unlawful acts relating to the song "Glory to Hong Kong"

Deeply alarming that the

police continue to question people for their mere links to activists abroad
Law has an unfair arrest warrant and bounty that is a criminalisation of pro-democracy activism. To go after those related to him is even worse.
National security police question Hong Kong woman over alleged links to wanted activist Nathan Law – reports

It’s time to review Hong Kong’s seat at the World Trade Organization
HK is no longer highly autonomous - its intl voice now is to endorse Beijing and promote Beijing’s agenda. It is a second voice for Beijing, which is not acceptable at the WTO (and other intl organisations)
