1/ Hong Kong's national security police took my parents in for questioning today—just a week after the US @StateDept announced targeted sanctions on six Hong Kong & Chinese officials & 2 days after the HKETO Certification Act was introduced. @thecfhk
scmp.com/news/hong-kong…
2/ Let me be clear: My parents and I have had no contact since I left Hong Kong in 2020. I’ve been financially independent ever since. The police arranged a crowd of media to photograph their exit—to humiliate them. This is a deliberate attempt to intimidate & silence me.
3/ No one should have to endure this for defending freedom & speaking out. I will not let fear or guilt define my path. I carry this moment with me, but I keep moving forward—Until one day, no one has to suffer this kind of repression for standing up against authoritarianism.

Breaking: Tony Chung Hon-lam, the first youngest activist sentenced to jail under the National Security Law, announced today that he finished his sentence last June and has arrived in the UK to seek asylum.

Here is a thread about his story:
1/11 Image
Tony was released on June 5 after his full term, yet continued to be closely watched by authorities on a 1-year agreement to meet occasionally, not to share the news of being released, & make no public appearance or media interview. Authorities would see him every 2-4 weeks. 2/11
During those meetings, he was coerced to provide details of every interpersonal interaction he made - who he met (names & contact info), where they met, & what they discussed. They also obtained access to his bank statements, financial aid applications, etc. 3/11

Just In: @RepYoungKim @RepMcGovern @RepJohnCurtis @SenDanSullivan @SenJeffMerkley introduced the Hong Kong Sanctions Act, which seeks to impose targeted sanctions on a list of 49 #HongKong officials, judges & prosecutors who are aiding the HKgov in violating human rights. 🧵1/x

The bill was introduced yesterday by a bipartisan grp of lawmakers to both the House and Senate. It requires @POTUS to determine within 180 days of its passage whether a list of Hong Kong officials named in the bill qualify for sanctions under existing U.S. legislation. 2/
The list of individuals includes a cross-section of 49 officials, judges and prosecutors at all levels responsible for the ongoing political persecution of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists. 3/

I just learned that one of the PRC agents behind the counterprotest of a rally I led in Boston in Aug2019 was finally arrested & indicted by federal grand jury tdy. After FOUR YEARS. I'm relieved, outraged & disappointed at the same time. Stay tuned as I am processing it here👇🏽 Image
Litang "Henry" Liang (梁利棠) is an American citizen residing in the Greater Boston area, where he spied on the local Chinese community, sent photos & info of individuals & organizations to PRC officials, & organized opposition to a Hong Kong protest, according to the complaints. Image
On Aug. 18, 2019, I organized a march called "Boston Stands with Hong Kong, Power to the People March." Prior to the rally, there were discussions among Chinese WeChat groups abt bringing firearms to shoot my face & wooden sticks to beat up protesters. Image

This is the first time I travel abroad using this refugee travel doc since I was granted asylum in the US. I've always said that I am just lucky in this process while thousands of #Hongkongers & #Uyghurs struggle to see progress on their asylum applications . 🧵US lifeboat policy Image
US asylees & refugees typically can’t leave the country. A refugee travel document acts in place of a passport for those who can no longer use their original passport to ensure (but not guarantee) that they can re-enter the country under circumstances. 2/
To get a travel doc, first you have to be granted asylum. But that itself is alrdy a long process to go thru. Applicants can be left waiting for as long as 10 years for the interview, during which they hv to be in the US and can only apply to work after 180 days after filing. 3/

The Witness documented the no. of days that the #NSL47 are on remand in custody where they await trials. Most of them have been in jail for >700 days for charges they have not been convicted of, while some released on bail continue to be watched in their daily lives.
The number continues to add up and the time in custody nearly has no foreseeable end. During this time, they were seen as no less than a criminal. Some were held in solitary confinement with questionable health conditions. They are #PoliticalPrisoners in #HongKong - just say it.
The gov wanted to put activists in jail to brake the movement's momentum. They did so by arresting all of them, knowing that they barely had sufficient proof to even begin with. So the prosecutor bade to keep them in custody to make time for investigation. And the court accepted.
