“Hong Kong residents shall have freedom of speech…freedom of association, of assembly, of procession and of demonstration”
Basic Law, Article 27.
Glad that some quarters of Parliament, at least, are still willing to take a principled stand against China’s aggression amidst the historic weakness of the current UK government.
The British parliament has for the first time referred to Taiwan as an "independent country" in an official document.
The move breaks a political taboo as Foreign Secretary James Cleverly visits China this week.

This is the years-old story about threats to Cantonese language & culture for which Hong Kong national security police raided the family home of the leader of a Cantonese preservation group, then forced the family to contact him abroad to demand he take it down.
Very rough translation of《我們的時代》"Our Time" (or "Our Era"), a short story with dystopian undertones that the Hong Kong national security police demanded be taken down from the @gongjyuhok site.
As @GayGamesHK2023’s reckless leadership team barrels forward with plans to gather 2,000 people for a political cause in a city where political gatherings are illegal, the gov’t issued an ominous warning today that hosting events in private venues won’t protect participants.
1/The Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal just issued a nuanced ruling that upholds mandatory minimum sentences under the Nat’l Security Law, but also pushes back on some of the lower Court of Appeal's most extreme stances.

During hearing for the Hong Kong democrat primary national security law case today, judge Andrew Chan said:
-UK prime minister wasn’t elected by universal suffrage (generally false statement)
-House of Lord “by no means democratic”
-Brexit referendum was won by <1% margin (false)
Listen @SCMPNews, don't send me an email from an address that cannot be replied to saying I didn't pay you when I did. Very rude.
Also you have my name, so emailing "Dear reader" is incredibly lazy.
Annoying, rude, lazy.

1/My latest article is at the link in my bio. Activist Alvin Cheng was tried for allegedly helping protesters escape arrest. He faced a few months in prison if convicted. But by the end of the trial, Judge Cheng Lim-Chi decided to alter the charge to rioting and sentenced…

The only thing I take away from Lee’s comments is that the new Article 23 national security law will be so restrictive to free speech that it will make a “fake news” law irrelevant. hongkongfp.com/2023/06/29/hon… via @hkfp
Banks in Hong Kong can’t and won’t defy HK government on pension transfers—end of story. The petty HK gov won’t allow banks to acknowledge BNO passports for foreign residency purposes, so the UK gov should grant Hongkongers residency visas on their Hong Kong passports instead.
In #HongKong the man who randomly stabbed two women in a mall was suffering from psychosis. A Legco member suggests that mental patients are deported to the Greater Bay Area.
In my research such approach had existed from the late 19C to the 1960s, exclusive of hidden cases.
