[One year later, #Policebrutality intensifies]
1. A year ago,millions of #HKers flocked to streets to oppose #AntiExtradition bill & #PoliceViolence. It was the time when demonstrations, protests, strikes, petitions, forming human chains & singing #GlorytoHongKong were permitted

2. One year later, #Hongkongers and the world bear witness to #Beijing's growing direct control on the city’s vanishing liberty. Ordinary citizens are stabbed by pro-#Beijing mobs, smashed to the ground and arrested by #hkpolice just because they sing in public.
3. This is the time when teachers are fired for refusing to censor students, and even a satirical show was halted for mentioning #policebrutality.
4. This is the time when knife-wielding assaulter was praised of having “noble sentiment” after stabbing pro-democracy protesters. Journalists and medics are unreasonably detained and humiliated by cops.
5. This is the time when memory is illegal. In #China's swelling shadow, organizers of annual #TiananmenSquare candlelight vigils were charged by #hkpolice, first time in 31 years after #TiananmenSquareMassacre.
6. Beyond any doubt, this is also the time when saying no is a crime. When #China unilaterally imposes a draconian #NationalSecurityLaw on #HK, high schoolers were forcibly arrested by #police just because they call for the withdrawal of the unpopular law.
7. The clock is ticking for the city’s liberty. #Hongkongers hope the world can stand with us once again to call for the withdrawal of this sweeping security law.
