[To continue our fight against tyranny, I have opened a new pateron]
patreon.com/joshuawong

1/ Beijing has staged the largest-ever assault on the city’s remaining free election, with pro-democracy candidates across spectrum disqualified.
2/ In the letter of government, they have nearly screened all my posts, co-eds, interviews and statements for cooking up excuses for disqualification. Under the surveillance of secret police, I have been trailed by unknown agents, let alone the growing risk of being assaults.
3/ To protect the personal safety of my friends and mine, I am considering hiring a personal bodyguard and driver, which may be a new financial burden. However, after a whole year of resistance, Hongkongers will not surrender.
4/ Police brutality, Security Law and sweeping National Security Law will not silence our voices for justice and democracy. To support our fight for the city’s future, please join my Patreon.

[I was just disqualified from LegCo election, despite being the biggest winner in #Hkprimaries]

1. Few minutes ago, I was just disqualified from running in the upcoming LegCo election in #Hongkong, even though I got the highest vote share in the primary, w/ 30000+ votes obtained
2. The excuse they use is that I describe #nationalsecuritylaw as a draconian law, which shows that I do not support this sweeping law.
3. Despite 610,000+ #Hongkongers voting in #HK’s primary, #Beijing now staged the biggest-ever crackdowns on the city’s election, by disqualifying nearly all pro-democracy runners, from young progressive groups to traditional moderate parties.

[When op-eds, open letters and speeches at public hearings become excuses of political screening]

1. Today I received the letter from #Hongkong's electoral officer, questioning my political stance, a ploy commonly used by #Beijing to disqualify candidates from election.
2. The letter quotes following as excuses:
-@appledaily_hk coverage of my speech at @CECCgov public hearing on #HK autonomy
-my @washingtonpost op-ed commenting on #Beijing’s move to expelling US journalists
-an open letter to @SecPompeo co-signed by disbanded @demosisto & #HKers
3. Clearly, under the new #nationalsecuritylaw, political screening covers candidates’ social media accounts, media interviews and election flyers. Even an op-ed piece could be framed as “colluding with foreign forces” and used as excuses for political purges.

[End of our Last Free Election, Beginning of our Real Struggle for Liberty]

1/ With the support of freedom-loving Hongkongers, my team members and district councillor @JannelleRLeung, it is my honour to top the poll in my district with more than 30043 votes.
2/ In this last free election of HK, candidates played active roles during protest have topped this primary election. The victory of movement activists in the primary implies the continuation of the spirit of our resistance against China’s growing curbs over HK’s freedoms.
3/ In the eyes of voters, candidates’ spirit of resistance overrides other traditional elements like policy platforms, academic and professional backgrounds. When Beijing abuses the legislative procedure, the function of the Legislative Council has changed completely.
