1/ It is crazy for #hkpolice to arrest the 81-yo veteran democrat #MartinLee, the Father of Democracy. He is the one who helped draft #HK’s basic law under #1country2systems. For almost 40 years, he has been promoting democracy and human rights in #HongKong.
2/ Jimmy Lai, most high-profile pro-democracy media tycoon, has been critical of #HKGov & #CCP leadership. He was invited by @VP Mike Pence & @SecPompeo to share #HK situation. As press freedom isn't allowed under authoritarian regime of #Xijinping, he becomes the prime target.
3/ As #HKPolice hacked phones of mine & @chowtingagnes & extract our personal information without our consent, arrest this time is more than just prosecutions! Police took adv of this opportunity to hack all phones & gather WhatsApp & Telegram conversations of key activists.
4/ When China’s offices in #HK unprecedentedly announced that they aren't restricted from interfering in local affairs of #HK, it's beyond any doubt this sensitive information will be shared to 4000 #China national security forces that now stationed in HK for future persecution.
5/ When all countries are now busy combating #coronavirus, the authoritarian regime of #China is now clamping down on democracy movements in #HongKong. I call upon the world to keep watch on #Beijing’s tyranny and #standwithhk.
