[Speech is never free in a place under authoritarian rule]

1/ My just-released book, #UnfreeSpeech was part of my contemplation when I was in jail. Speech is never free, especially when you face imprisonment & deprivation of your rights for defying unjust laws and orders.
2/ However, tremendous changes have taken place since I was released. Before the outbreak in June, it was mainly movement leaders like Edward Leung, @alexchow18, @nathanlawkc, and I who were put into jail, but now even a twelve-year-old kid was arrested.
3/ Also, ordinary people are sentenced to imprisonment just because they are accused of taking part in unlawful assemblies. When Beijing is tightening its grip on Hong Kong, Hongkongers have to pay a heavier price for a brief taste of freedom.
4/ Hope Is the Most Powerful Arrow: A Conversation with Joshua Wong on #UnfreeSpeech worldliteraturetoday.org/blog/interview…
