Pro-democracy activists Joshua Wong and Tiffany Yuen arrive at West Kowloon Magistrates's Courts to face charges related to an illegal vigil assembly commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, in Hong Kong, China, on Nov 3, 2020. BERLIN: Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong told a German newspaper he was doing well despite being held in solitary confinement and having trouble sleeping because of bright lights after he was remanded in custody this week.
"Because the light in the cell burns for 24 hours, it is difficult for me to sleep," Wong told the paper in written answers from prison. "I have to cover my eyes with protective face masks to fall asleep," he wrote, adding he does not expect a fair trial and that he felt like a dissident in China. "I have long since lost confidence in this legal system," he wrote, adding, however, that if he and other activists were convicted, the democracy movement would continue."I want to tell the world that the movement in Hong Kong will not come to a halt just because Agnes Chow, Ivan Lam and I are in prison," he said, adding that he saw China as a threat to world freedom.
"Universities, journalists and companies - everyone is forced to adhere to Chinese standards," said Wong
As he has international attention; his situation maybe slightly better than the anonymous. Especially those youths who fight for freedom.
Thank you Joshua! You are the hero! StandWithHongKong
The bigger oppression will incite greater resistance. Patriotism cannot be implanted. All teens have witnessed how ccp has treated their peers since last year. They would never forget it and would definitely oppose ccp by all means! standwithHongKong
I hope all democratic countries keep concern and help all HK protesters. If not, I worry they will be disappeared. ccp is notorious for maltreation of prisoners / dissidents. StandWithHK FreeHK save12hkyouths

Never give up and never forgot. Proud of them CCP_is_terrorist bloodycarrie OneCountryTwoSystemsIsDead
NationalSecurityLaw bluntly destroys Joint Declaration and 1country2systems. hkpolicebrutality and political oppression never cease since 2019. HKers hope that democratic countries can hold CCP's accountability for its crackdown on democracy in HK.
The arrest is an attempt to curtail freedom of assembly and threaten us not to oppose the regime. HongKongers should try our utmost do what us can do, there are so many things we can insist StandwithHongKong
Hope the free world can help HongKongers to fight for freedom...The CCP turns Hong Kong increasingly into just another Chinese city and continues to persecute HongKongers. The CCP specifically targets HK youths.😔
He is not fine, actually he is suffering from isolated imprisonment
Lock him up permanently. Give peace to Hong Kong
StandwithHongKong FreeHongKong
Silence21240183 No one will be fine in a room alone with the light on all night long. Joshua is brave and young, like most of our protestors. The political prosecution is injustice. Hope more could speak up and help Hongkongers. We’re just looking for freedom and justice. StandWithHongKong
