[正直、気分はまだ回復していない。] #FreeAgnes @chowtingagnes

1/ 去年の8月30日、私は初めて家で逮捕され(それ以前は予約逮捕かデモ現場での逮捕だった)、それ以来、玄関のベルを聞く螢幕截圖 2020-08-14 上午11.19.58だけで緊張して、警察じゃないかと怖くなる。 Image
2/ このようなことがまさか1年後にまた起きるとは思わなかった。しかも10名以上の警官が同時にドアを叩き、ベルを押し、ロックを壊そうとした。あの日、9人が逮捕された後、次は私かもしれないなと少しは思った。でも、警察が本当に家の前に来た時... Image
3/ ...、私は全く心の準備をできていなくて、パニックになり、震える手で友達に「police」の一文字を送った。それはあの時の私が唯一できることだった。警察は2時間かけて、私の部屋だけじゃなく、リビング、屋上、両親の部屋など家中を捜査した。 Image
4/ 最終的には、パソコン2台、携帯3台、CCTVの一部、たくさんの去年と雨傘の時の制作物、それからジョシュア・ウォンと撮った写真も警察に押収された。一般的な令状の場合は当事者の部屋だけなのに、今回の令状の捜査範囲は非常に広く、どういう重い罪を犯したのだろうかと思っていた。 Image
5/ 結局、今でも、私は一体どのような理由で逮捕されたのかまだわからないし、いつ、どういう形で国家安全法に違反したかも、さっぱりわからない。この不透明さが、まさにこの政治的な罪の本質だと思う。 Image
6/ 家から出て、車に押し込まれて、警察署に着いて、そして拘束された時、私はずっと涙を我慢していた。正直泣きたかった。だって、もし起訴されたら...、保釈されなくなってしまう。少なくとも、1年や2年は出られない。 Image
7/ 有罪判決や中国大陸に引き渡されることの怖さは、想像すら出来なかった。未来に対する不安や恐怖が、ずっと心に湧き出ていた。

やっと弁護士に会えた時、涙は我慢できなかった。あの孤独と恐怖の中、彼らは私の唯一の頼りだった。 Image
8/ あの時、彼らの手を握って、小さな、そして唯一の暖かさを感じたかったけど...、変な人だと思われないよう、やっぱり握らなかった。拘束された25時間の間、弁護士たちは他にも色んな仕事があったにも関わらず、頻繁に警察署へ来て、私に最新情報や外からの関心を伝えた。 Image
9/ 彼らを通して、皆さんのたくさんの愛をいただきました。ありがとうございました。

私は弱虫で、脆い人間です。
私は本当に社会運動に向いているのか、よく自分に問いかける。もう8年だ。8年の前の私には、きっと今日の状況を想像さえできなかっただろう。 Image
10/ でも、私は弱いけど、わかっていることは、大きな動きの前では、心の強さが唯一の救いだということ。私は1人じゃない、多くの人が私を支えて、応援してくれた。香港人を信じています。 Image
11/ これから、さらに多くの香港市民が、同じ、或いはもっと怖い目に遭うかもしれない。香港の将来はどうなるのか想像することさえ難しいけれど、暗闇の後には、夜明けがきっと来ると信じるしかない。

私たちは強くならなければいけません。

[MSG IN CUSTODY]
1. Comparing to remanded, #save12hkyouths in China deserves more of our attention. Today marks the 93rd day of their detention. Their families finally received letters from the dozen, signifying that they are still alive. #SAVE12 campaign managed pressure China.
2. But from the content of the letters, they might have been tortured until they agreed to make forced confessions, saying they had appointed lawyers assigned by the authorities, saying they regretted taking part in activism.
3. I wish to pay tributes to our fellow activists who are about to face trials and prison, or to whom in distress for not being able to return home: We're not fearless, but you are the braver ones.

[Msg before the court hearing]

1/ On June 17 last year, it was the day after 2m of freedom-seeking HKers took to the street and called for the withdrawal of the evil law. I was released for the third time in my life on that day. More than one year, I now once again face 3 cases.
2/ Never have I underestimated the chance of imprisonment at the upcoming hearing on Mon, especially at the time when lawmakers were expelled, journalists were sued for mentioning police brutality, and universities were probed in the pretext of national security claims.
3/ After consulting with lawyers, @chowtingagnes, @ivanlamviiv and I will plead guilty, which implies that Mon’s hearing will skip trials and go straight into sentencing. Compare to with 2k HKers are prosecuted and 12 HKers detained in China, the charges that I face are minimal.

【Joshua Wong speaking to the Italian Senate】

Full speech: patreon.com/posts/44167118

1/ No doubt there is a terrible price to pay in standing up to the Beijing and HK government. But after serving a few brief jail sentences and facing the continuing threat of harassment...
2/ I learnt to cherish the freedom I have for now, and I shall devote every bit what I have to strive for the freedom of those who have been ruthlessly denied. Courtroom, visiting prisoners and battle of university remind me of the fact that the fight has not ended yet.
3/ In the coming months, I will be facing a maximum of 5 years in jail for unauthorized assembly and up to one ridiculous year for wearing a mask in protest. But prison bars would never stop me from activism and thinking critically.

[My idea on #MilkTeaAlliance]

Video: patreon.com/posts/43823169

1/ Behind the notion of Milk Tea Alliance, we can see gradually there’s a calling for pan-Asian solidarity “to fend off all forms of authoritarianism from China’’.
2/ While the military government in Thailand has fostered a quite good economic partnership with China, under the Belt and Road Initiatives. In return, the military government has been extremely helpful to assist Beijing to oppress dissidents outside China such as Gui Minhai.
3/ The innovative ‘Milk Tea Alliance’ is more about how netizens and key opinion leaders on social media can take a leadership role and generate pressure against the momentum of Beijing’s propaganda machine. It will enhance more students to push forward global solidarity.

1/ ‘’If we are in the new Cold War, HK is the new Berlin.’’ -- for we are now standing between the free world and the dictatorship of China. I’m not an expert in academic but perhaps the historical context would help us shed light on many similarities.

patreon.com/posts/43822674
2/ First of all, during the Cold War, Berlin was the forefront of the two competing ideologies - Capitalism & Communism; ironically, at present, Hong Kong has become the wrestling ground for two ideologies-- Democratic values, liberties versus absolute dictatorship.
3/ The communist party is very eager in expanding its influence in the world and setting up satellite states through economic means. The free world is realizing its intention and preparing itself to resist its threat.

[My comment on the mass resignation of pro-democratic camp lawmakers]

1/ After Beijing stepped in and appointed the “provisional legislature” in August, it simply explains that they can't ensure a majority had the election taken place on time. All lawmakers are lack of mandate.
2/ While the authorities decided to unseat four more lawmakers, it's time for all democratic camp lawmakers to resign from this appointed legislature. Act as decorative flower vases inside the institution may just let Beijing take advantage to calm down global discontent.
3/ We wish to warn the world that now the existence of legislature never implying the existence of check and balance. Also, it's time to rise to the fact that win seats in the election and street clash are not the two only scenes in a democratic movement.
