Pro-democracy lawmakers & groups accuse the #CCP of ‘mutual destruction’ & there’s no more 2 systems in #1C2S 1 Country 2 Systems in #HongKong. Groups include the Alliance that organises annual June 4th vigil, @chrf_hk & Justice & Peace Commission for Catholic Diocese

Convenor of Civil Human Rights Front @chrf_hk Jimmy Sham alleged #CCP of conducting “terrorist attack” on stock markets with its announcement of plans to implement national security laws in #HongKong, as markets plunge after the news

Sham said during #coronavirus epidemic the pro-democracy camp has been very wary of people’s health, but he accused #FTU’s Stanley Ng of thinking about “ways to save the ‘country’ rather than lives”, & #DAB chair Starry Lee just think about “saving an anthem”

Alliance secretary Lee Cheuk-yan accuses #CCP of tearing down its ‘fake face mask’, announcing #1C1S in #HongKong. He called national security laws a “master key for speech crimes”, citing mainland Chinese examples like the late Nobel laureate Liu Xiaobo & lawyer Wang Quanzhang

Jackie Hung from Catholic Diocese’s Commission expresses concern about the national security laws being used to suppress religious activities. “Same as in 2003 we think there should be universal suffrage before laws on national security, #HK people & #Legco now being trampled on”

Lawmaker Helena Wong of @HKDemocrats notes how #Beijing plans to extend its national security agents to enforce the laws in #HongKong, “this means even the SAR Govt will not be able to regulate what the agents do in #HK”
