[Court rejects Joshua Wong bid over disqualification]

1/ As the only candidate being censored out from ballot in the 2019 District council election. I applied for Judicial review and to appeal how do returning officers just have abuse of power.

2/ Unfortunately the judge of high court claim that it could not be discussed or go through the process of judicial review. However, the civil servant, just act as the Beijing loyalist, just follow command of Beijing.

3/ Even they violate the constitution of Hong Kong. It should be discussed in the court via judicial review procedure. And not being narrowly handled within the election petition procedure.

4/ But no matter what happened, I wish the world could know that how the judicial system right now under the cracked down of Beijing and how activists in Hong Kong will face more and more difficulties to continue our resistance inside the institution. reuters.com/article/uk-hon…

5/ We will continue to fight in such uphill battle even the judicial system is under control by Beijing.
