#JoshuaWong 13.5m in jail - via lawyers, “it’s not the end of the fight. Ahead of us is another challenging battleground. We’re now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK.

Reminder that this young man, Joshua Wong, is locked up for no reason other than he wants freedom from Chinese Communist Party oppression.

Certainly. In New York over the weekend, friends from not just #Tibet and #Taiwan attended our @NY4HK rally in solidarity with the 47 political prisoners, but also #Burma, #Thailand, and even #Catalonia. There were #EastTurkestan flags. I held up a @joshuawongcf photo as I spoke.
Seeing everyone stand together and encourage one another through this hard time is heartwarming. It has come to a point where protests against injustice in Hong Kong, Tibet & Xinjiang are also protests against injustice in Thailand and Myanmar.

After removing legislators and imprisoning protestors, Beijing will then turn to education. The struggle outside prison is equally challenging. People have to prepare for a greater cost merely for speaking up or refusing to conform to authority. Read more

[#JoshuaWong Letter before sentencing] I said ‘it’s tougher for you to be out there’. By this I mean not only the emotional burden of having friends incarcerated but the sweeping control on many aspects in HK’s society (Credit: AFP)

Let’s get this straight: A British bank desperate for continued access to China’s financial market can suddenly freeze your #HongKong assets on Saturday — turning your entire life savings into $0 — unfreeze it without explanation on Sunday, only to freeze it all again on Monday.

“We have to make sure when people think of China they don’t think of economic growth, business opportunities - they think of concentration camps in Xinjiang, the struggle of Hong Kong, people inside mainland China jails.”

“Time is running out for Hong Kong and time is also running out for my safety.... It is hard for me to know when the police will storm into my home and arrest me at six in the morning.”

Another rare glimpse of @joshuawongcf at the Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre, this one a long-distance shot captured by @StandNewsHK moments ago. He’s set to be transferred to another correctional facility soon, presumably a more remote, maximum-security prison. Take care 😞
