Hong Kong police have arrested three veteran pro-democracy figures for taking part in an unauthorised anti-government march last year amid the city’s most serious political crisis for decades.
721 831 101 How about those killed and harmed by HKPoliceTerrorism
IreneHK2 Let the people say their mind
He’s he boss of the very rare pro democracy conventional media in HK. It has been targeted always. We need UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE to stop all of these oppression!
Thk u kick 🇨🇳ass! 🙏🇺🇸❤️
Beijing will always repeat the same dirty tricks. Jimmy Lai, young Freedom Fighters all face the same fate. Suppress, arrests, even murders. Kick out CCP is vital. HK must achieve UniversalSuffrage2020. Without FullVotingRights, the HK govt will always be controlled by CCP.
One of the biggest enemies to totalitarian HongKong gov is the democratic press HongKongProtests
HK government and CCP should take care WuhanVirus first!! Second, your economy. HK newspaper, media? None of your business!
We couldn't wait anymore! Act the bill! Please!
The arrest shows his news is correct and trustworthy.
No illegal assemebly.... there’s only violation of basic human rights. Boycottchina
1 country, 2 systems regime is no longer valid in HK. HKGov is working hand in hand with the CCPChina to suppress and intimidate all freedom fighters. HongKong
Still no sign of Greta in China then?
The reason is he say the truth
We trust ccp will come to other countries after damaged our home - Hong Kong. So please StandWithHongKong standwithfreedom standwithdemocracy HongKong Freedom HumanRightsViolations
It's political persecution CCP_is_terrorist StandwithHK
More suppression coming HongKong
Are the Yuen Long guys on 721 arrested?
“When you lose freedom, you lose everything,” Mr. Jimmy Lai said in CBS News interview last year on Oct. His beliefs have never changed！ Thank you Mr. Lai 🙏🏼
Arbitrary arrests are so frequently in Hong Kong! Justice is dead! Hong Kong is not safe at all!
Some said it is a revenge for publishing Carrie Lam report to CCP
Another example proves that 1 country 2 systems is dead. Hong Kong is rotten to the core and Hong Kong is gradually becoming another normal city in China (or I should say Hong Kong is now just like another normal city in China).
Sorry but it’s political prosecution for his pro-democracy media. Ytd GuiMinhai, tdy JimmyLai. CCP explicitly erode PressFreedom over the world even amid CoronavirusOutbreak. Magnitsky sanction on China is necessary to show our solidarity to the press. Or next could be U.
An arbitrary political arrest by riot Hong Kong police! Telling the truth has become a crime in Hong Kong!
The tragedy is not over, the police are more than violent, and the government continues to overcrowd the citizens. StandWithHongKong
Outrageous to read this news. If intimidating the press is a crime, the Hong Kong police should have arrested themselves for a thousands time already. Rule of law is just a joke in HK. HKPoliceState
Freedom of speech is officially dead in Hong Kong. Please support Hong Kong protest! StandWithHongKong
Clearly political prosecution. Another proof of step down of the one country two system in hong kong
Chinazi
The govt. deprives our right of assembly. Now, ppl who resisted were arrested. This is HK, a so-called international financial hub.
Statement China's global times newspaper: JimmyLai had unprecedented levels of contact with the US government and western parliament and his anti government tabloid appledaily is known for its active stance in supporting violent HongKong protesters and it is seen as an .. 🤔
They arrested him just because of his political stance !!
He is a hero , worship him! Free him immediately CCP_is_Nazi
Freedom of speech is stripping away in HK. U.K. government should act ASAP to own up the responsibility to HK people.
Maybe HKGov is covering something, HKPolice arrest a lot of activists when there's something big to be happened
The government keeps trying to shift the attention to us for”breaking the law” Then it can get away from all the accusations about it being incompetent and undermining the rule of law
Jimmy Lai was also arrested for threatening a journalist...so what about those hongkongpoliceterrorists who verbally threatened and physically assaulted journalists? HKPoliceState
This guy is funded by USAD US gouverments tool for regime change along with Joshua Wong
Along with 2 former members of legislative council on the same day too. Pure political prosecution.
It’s probably related to the leaked document.
If CCP thinks a high profile arrest of well known democratic figures can stop HongKongers from pursuing democracy for HongKong, they're wrong. We've seen worse - some of us lost their dreams, were disfigured, and even vanished for good. For them, the remaining us must go on.
By arresting the CEO of a pro-democracy media, HKGov thought they can eliminate the opposing voices. This arrest is not only about PoliceBrutality but also show how eager our gov wants to exploit our FreedomofSpeech.
It's political persecution. It's not a news that HKGov't targets pro-democracy media. From GuiMinhai case to barring foreign journalists, now puppet HKGov't arrested pro-democracy media who criticize HKGov't. The freedom of press is deteriorating in HK. StandWithHongKong
Illegal assembly is just a farce The key is his paper, appledaily, which showed a huge influence on HongKongProtests magnitskyact and HKHRDA must be in place to sanction CarrieLam and HKPoliceTerrorists
If you voice out for democracy and freedom, you have committed a crime in HongKong. For living easily here, evidence your love to CCP and willingness to forgo all human rights, but this is not a promise, you know how CCP deals with promises. Good luck!
They arrested three other pro-democracy politicians as well. That's literally political prosecution.
Riot hk govt
This is political persecution. Puppet Hong Kong government escalates oppression during WuhanCoronavirusOutbreak.
A friend of mine has speculated the true reason behind Jimmy Lai's arrest. Whatever the reason is, this is POLITICAL PERSECUTION, nonetheless.
White terror! Jimmy Lai has always been a target of CCP, as it dares to reveal the dark side of China.. 3 Pro-Democracy politicians were also arrested for illegal assembly on 31Aug. It’s definitely political suppression! We can’t trust HKGov anymore. We need UniversalSuffrage!
So what is the true meaning of illegal assembly? Are HKers really enjoy the freedom of march which is protected by Basic Law? How ridiculous it is when we need to receive the consent from HK police before every march? Please save HK and set us free! Thank you so much!
Pro-democracy dissidents are always arbitrarily arrested, while HKPoliceTerrorists and pro-government thugs can do anything without consequences
HKGov could have focused on combating WuhanCoronavius. Yet they decided to continue satisfying CCP by political persecution.
In the midst of an epidermic, the Hong Kong government thinks it's the best time to further stifle freedom of the press and assembly.
China rather spend its efforts to suppress FreedomOfSpeech (Gui Minhai yesterday, Jimmy Lai today) than to stop the WuhanCoronavirus outbreak. The CCP tyranny is the enemy of citizens by itself!
Mr Lai publishes newspaper which speaks the truth of the gov. So shameful for the gov to crush our freedom of speech and not to allow people to know the truth!
True multitaskers, the Chinese: crashing the global economy and quelling legal protests at the same time.
They got jimmy too?!
