Hong Kong Activist Arrested Near U.S. Consulate

The organization, Studentlocalism, which formally disbanded on the day China passed a new national security law in June, said on a Twitter account that still bears the group’s name that police had arrested Tony Chung, 19, on Tuesday, as well as two other former members elsewhere in the city.

This took place in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, not mainland China Perhaps no difference any more?

I still didn’t see any reports about why US consulate rejected their asylum request.

Their American dad just ditched them to face somber reality.

National security police are simply a group of gangsters, who have been carrying out blatant kidnappings in the name of national security, without any checks and balances, and doing whatever they want! StandWithHongKong China_is_terrorist

Please give a hand to HK teenagers. save12hkyouths CCP_is_terrorist HumanRightsViolations

These teens are desperate to escape from years in jail or even extradition to China, yet they may not be able to reach other countries’ soil for asylum or the new BNO visa scheme. We need a feasible lifeboat solution for them.

The Communist China is still intensifying political persecution in Hong Kong, while we’ve been raising int’l awareness on save12hkyouths...again proves that the NationalSecurityLaw is convenient tool to further exploit ppl’s basic rights.

The arrest show how ugly China politics are. They don't even act like they care about their images anymore.

They did nothing wrong! It is unreasonable to be arrested for fighting for freedom!

PLEASE HELP. $RMKghost I have been trying to raise money for rent, we got behind, so far we have 100/3647 raised. I'm a single father of two with no family to help... I'm trying everything I can to keep my kids safe with food and a place to sleep. Please anything helps.

Even a disbanded student organisation is a great threat to the security of HK and China. How fragile this government is?

The situation in HK is worse than ever. Police are useless as national security guards can override them and arrest anyone they want without further announcement of the arrest and the situation of Tony. FreeTonyChung StandWithHK

Free Hong Kong!

HK is a very dangerous place. police can arrest and search anyone arbitrarily. Especially for the youths and teen activists. Just like Tony Chung. No one knows his current situation, HKers worry about his personal safety. Pls save him! HK save12hkyouths

Tony Chung and the other 2 members did nothing wrong, they just express their opinion opposing CCP. But speech has become crime in HK because of the national security law. This evil China’s law is unilaterally imposed by CCP, they take away autonomy together with freedom.

As we mentioned before, HKNationalSecurityLaw is definitely a suppression tool for CCP to destroy pro-democracy camp and create horror to HongKongers! FreeTonyChung SOSHK

I don’t think such kids can do any harm to China. These 3 former Studentlocalism members were arrested just because they said something on internet. It’s just ridiculous.

Another kidnapping in HongKong. The 12 HK youths are not come back yet, the CCP kidnapped another 3 HK kids. That provide that HK is totally dead. The CCP is using NationalSecurityLaw to do anything in HK. Hope the world can StandWithHongKong. save12hkyouths FreeTonyChung

It’s totally insane! How come the national security department would arrest the 3 young students according to their posts in social media? Speech crime is now existing in hk & hk is no longer a safe place. The reality is that activists have to risk being kidnapped.

Illegal arrest of 3 dissidents as the 12 youths needed to be save. CCP is worser than Nazi and ISIS to kidnapping and making genocide step by step. Whole world 7 billions must stand together to exterminate CCP asap for own safety.

HongKong is the real life 1984.

It's absurd that even online contents are considered as threats to national security. The vaguely defined NSL is applicable to flags, songs, online posts, there is no more freedom of speech.

hongkong is a small city. And the fear that China has on our people in hongkong is huge. What Can a 19 year old kid do to sway national security of China?!

good job
