Hong Kong Gov’t and Hong Kong Police target the homeless when pro-democrats are silence.
On July 10th, 7 people representing homeless families protested for more assistance from the Hong Kong Gov’t. Instead of having conversation with officials, they were surrounded by 10 police and was warned not to threaten National Security.
The next day, July 11, Deputy Chief of Administration, Warner Check Wing-hing, proposed to empower officers from Food and Environmental Hygene Department to confiscate anything that takes up public spaces including personal belongings from the homeless.
Since National Security Law was established, most pro-democrats politicians were either silenced or arrested. The check and balance within the legislation has been vanished. Therefore, minorities in Hong Kong have has only become more helpless.

Fair trial? Not a chance. The judge kept interrupting the Gwyneth Ho Kwai-lam at the court. When are these #CCP appointed judges ever going to get the justice they actually deserve?

Dec 18: Founder of Apple Daily, Jimmy Lai, along with three Apple companies, is being tried in the High Court for charges of conspiring with foreign forces and conspiracy to publish seditious publications. The case raises concerns about how the national security law threatens human rights in Hong Kong. Notably, Lai has already spent over 3 years in jail before the trial, highlighting the government's practice of punishing political prisoners even before their day in court. The trial continues tomorrow. #JimmyLai #AppleDaily #PressFreedom #HumanRights #NationalSecurityLaw #HighCourt

人類自由指數香港排名暴跌原因 分析：香港和中國的距離愈來愈近 2021年香港發生了甚麼事？《蘋果日報》被抄家，公司亦隨之而結束。之後《立場新聞》兩位總編亦被捕，公司停運。 這一年，維園燭光不再，支聯會亦在《國安法》陰霾下宣告解散，副主席鄒幸彤被捕；之後民陣、職工盟及教協等立足香港多年的團體，亦自行解散。連參與初選亦被視為違法，47人在當年的年初被捕，案件至今仍未審結。 13年前人類自由指數排名第3的香港，近年不斷下跌，最新的整體排名在全球165個國家地區中，已由去年的第34位再暴跌至46位。當中經濟…
Hong Kong's freedom ranking has sharply declined as it moves closer to China. The closure of Apple Daily, arrests of editors, dissolution of prominent organizations, and crackdown on democratic activities have contributed to this decline. Hong Kong now ranks 46th in global freedom index. #HongKong #FreedomIndex #PressFreedom #NationalSecurityLaw

Hong Kong government initiates public consultation on proposed legislation under Article 23 of the Basic Law. The consultation covers categories like treason, sedition, espionage, and foreign interference. Three approaches suggested: new national security law, integrating existing crimes, and expanding coverage of current laws. Consultation seeks to enhance legal framework and execution mechanisms for safeguarding national security.
Implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong raises human rights concerns. Freedom of expression, assembly, and association could be restricted. Due process and fair trials may be compromised. Surveillance measures threaten privacy rights. Extradition to mainland China raises fair trial concerns. Balancing national security with human rights is crucial. #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw #HumanRights

"Renowned economist Stephen Roach's thought-provoking @FT article reveals Hong Kong's disappointing stock market performance since the handover. Roach points to the impact of local politics, including Carrie Lam's initiation of the extradition bill and the subsequent national security law imposed by China. These developments have further eroded Hong Kong's autonomy and contributed to its worsening situation. Without significant measures, the city risks being trapped in a prolonged downturn. #HongKong #StockMarket #China #Autonomy #ExtraditionBill #NationalSecurityLaw"
