Hong Kongers in the U.S. persist despite repression & threats. Chicago Solidarity with Hong Kong leads protest against top Hong Kong SAR gov’t official as he visits the Windy City.

3 weeks after passing Article 23, Hui sees the flag that is now banned in Hong Kong unfurl on the streets of Chicago.

#HongKong : RSF is appalled by the detention and deportation of its representative Aleksandra Bielakowska, who was travelling today to the territory to monitor the trial of #JimmyLai . This action marks a new decline in the territory's press freedom climate.👇

Joint statement by 24 US #HongKong groups, including HKDC: The Biden administration’s response thus far to #Article23 is inadequate and concerning. We call for sanctions and humanitarian pathways.
Please see full statement: hkdc.us/so/c7OwfrFUw?l…

Alongside the release of the Hong Kong Policy Act Report, which catalogs increasing repression and details our commitment to stand with people in Hong Kong, we have imposed visa restrictions on Hong Kong officials responsible for the intensifying crackdown on rights and freedoms.

As the #HongKong government gazetted #Article23 today, Hong Kong Watch joined Hong Kong Democracy Council and 143 other organisations in condemning the legislation which will severely threaten what little freedoms remain in Hong Kong.

Thank to all 145 friends & allies making collective effort together to denounce the #Article23

It’s great to see that 145 groups have co-signed this statement. Asian Lawyers Network (ALN) is proud to be one of the co-signatories. Oppose the draconian #Article23 national security bill!

HAPPENING NOW: Hong Kongers and Taiwanese sing a protest song banned in Hong Kong on the first day of the imposition of the territory’s Article 23 National Security Law.

Hong Kong's security law Article 23 goes into effect today.

Herel Hughes spoke to Hong Kong Democracy Council Executive Director Anna Kwok 郭鳳儀 to learn more about the extraterritorial reach and the effects on dissent abroad.

Chairman Gallagher has been a powerhouse in bringing multi-faceted issues of the CCP to public consciousness. He upholds bipartisanship despite concerns when Select Cmt was first created.

Rep. Gallagher Press Office will be missed on the Hill, I wish him all the best in his next chapter.

The Biden administration has had 3 days to commit to a plan of action in response to Hong Kong’s NSL 2.0. This statement from Secretary Antony Blinken after everyone goes home on Friday night commits to absolutely *nothing*. Hongkongers—and Americans—deserve better from the administration.

We need to see actions. Choose your pick: TPS/P-2 for Hong Kongers, sanctions, decertify HKETO.

Now is the time to commit to “defending human rights worldwide” by actual actions.

Proud to support China Commission Chairs #ChristopherSmith and Senator Jeff Merkley, Nancy Pelosi, Frances Hui 許穎婷, and Anna Kwok 郭鳳儀 to oppose the new #Article23 in #HongKong . The expansion of the #CCP 's infrastructure of tyranny must be stopped!

Thank you, Congressman Smith for highlighting…

PRC doubles down on engulfing Hong Kong. Sanctions, humanitarian pathways, restricting Hong Kong offices — actions should be taken in response to the latest Article 23.

Thanks Nick Schifrin PBS NewsHour for the talk. You witnessed Hong Kong’s LegCo on July 1 in 2019. And now, this.
