【Family members of Hong Kong residents being held in secret detention: No News and Whereabouts of 12 Hong Kong People Suspected to Have Been Kidnapped in Hong Kong Waters Relatives Ask Police to Investigate Thoroughly】

facebook.com/10020663138671… Image
1/ The Chinese authorities are detaining 12 Hong Kong people at the Yantian Detention Centre in Shenzhen. After their families held a press conference last week (12 September) and expressed 4 demands, the Chinese and Hong Kong governments have yet to respond formally.
2/ They only shirked responsibility and confused the public with mere excuses. However, up to now, the lawyers appointed by the families have been refused to meet with the detainees. The conditions of the so-called arrested persons are still known only to the authorities.
3/ There are lots of dubious questions yet to be answered: Whether it is the whereabouts of the detainee, the reason for refusing the lawyers' visit, or whether the Chinese Coast Guard entered Hong Kong waters to enforce the law, etc.
4/ HK government only uses official information from China, becomes a willing mouthpiece of the Chinese side, and has never provided any details or sent anyone to China to clarify the doubts. The families decided to report the case to Police Headquarters to find out the truth.
5/ In addition, we believe that the incident involves not only the families of the 12 Hong Kong people, but also public interest. To allay public concerns, we would like to make the following requests to government departments in addition to reporting the case.
6/ Request the Hong Kong Police Force to give an account of the date, time, place and process of the arrest of the 12 persons by the Chinese Coast Guard, and whether there were any injuries/casualties during the process.
7/ Request the Marine Department to provide the radar records of the vessel, and the police force to provide the patrolling route and locations of the marine police vessel on the day of the incident.
8/ Request the Hong Kong government to meet in person or make phone calls to ascertain the situation of the 12 detainees, and ensure that lawyers appointed by relatives of these detainees can meet their 12 clients.

[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.

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.
