Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Sunny Cheung said at least three people had stalked him and analogised the scene to what happened to Agnes Chow before arrested for inciting secession. Cheung lobbied other countries, mainly the US, for Hong Kong democratisation. #HongKongProtests
Vice-convenor of Hong Kong democracy group Civil Human Rights Front Figo Chan also said he and the convenor, Jimmy Sham, followed by two people this evening. This came after Sunny Cheung revealed on Facebook three people crept up on him. Such happenings may not be coincidental.
Pro-democracy lawmaker Ted Hui also said on his Facebook he were stalked by some people he doesn’t know. It is not immediately clear what the purpose of the stalking events are. But it has apparently become a trend to surveil pro-democracy politicians and activists. Image

The Wednesday victory of Olympic silver medallist Siobhán Haughey has revealed the very essence of Hong Kong’s decades-long success: openness, pluralism and meritocracy. It doesn’t matter if one is of Chinese descent or European origin. It’s about whether one works hard enough.
Instead of Hong Kong, the 23-year-old could have chosen to represent Ireland, which definitely puts more focus on athlete development. Yet, she insists on Hong Kong, saying in Cantonese: “I was born in Hong Kong, and live in Hong Kong......
... I am always connected with Hong Kong. I am proud to represent Hong Kong.”

#BREAKING: Beijing will give the “Hong Kong Chief Executive Election Committee the new power to nominate all candidates for Legislative Council members and directly elect some members to the legislature,” Wang Chen, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee vice-chairman.
Instead of the 35:35 balance between the Legislative Council’s geographical and functional constituencies, the overhaul will adopt a new 20:30:40 proportion and divide the legislature into three components, pro-Bejing media HK01 reported. hk01.com/article/595515
Meanwhile, with 40 seats, representatives from the Chief Executive Election Committee will be the most powerful division among the three. As pro-democracy voices are expected to be eradicated in the shake-up, pro-Beijing voices will likely overwhelm the new 90-seat legislature.

#THREAD: As a Hong Kong freelance journalist, I’d like to say something other in-house journalists may not dare say due to their code of conduct. Forgive me for being sentimental tonight. But it is important, as today, Sept 23, marks the darkest day for Hong Kong’s #PressFreedom.
Today is the first day when the new definition of media representative is applied to the police protocol. The new definition disavows credentials from the city’s most acclaimed journalists’ unions the HK Journalists Asso. and the HK Press Photographers Asso.
The police would only acknowledge media which had registered under the Government News and Media Information System and “internationally recognised and reputable” foreign media organisations in the name of “facilitating frontline duties of police officers”.

One of the 12 illegal border-crossers arrested by China on Aug 23 appeared to be Andy Li, a defendant arrested under the national security law: @RFA_Chinese. Mr Li was arrested the same day media mogul Jimmy Lai @JimmyLaiApple was arrested. He is now detained by Guangdong police.
Radio Free Asia continues that Andy Li, together with the 11 passengers, went aboard on the Kwo Chau Islands in Hong Kong. Meanwhile, other sources reveal that their destination was the Kinmen Islands, a Taiwanese enclave opposite to the Chinese Fujian province.
However, their boat was stopped as they were en route to Kinmen. It is suspected that Andy Li would want to leave Hong Kong before he had to report to the police on Sept 1, because he would not be granted a court bail if the police took him to the court directly that day.
