#US: We Shall Stand up to China Despite Fear for National Security Law

'Project Black Mask HK', an organization of American Hongkongers, donned #WinniethePooh costumes for Halloween to mock Chinese communist leader Xi Jinping.

About a dozen people assembled and dressed up as Winnie the Pooh to raise awareness for China's racial oppression, as well as to express support for Hongkongers, Kazakhs, and Uyghurs.

The participants waved flags that read 'Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times' and 'Glory to Hong Kong', and chanted slogans such as 'Stand with Hong Kong'. Representatives of minority groups gave speeches describing the oppression they faced in China.

A Hongkonger who attended the assembly admitted that Hong Kong's National Security Law still worried him even he was now in the US. Despite the chilling effect of the law, he felt obliged to stand up to the oppression, saying, 'Liking posts behind the keyboard is not enough.'

Hong Kong Police denies brutal assault of pro-democracy protesters in court hearing despite video evidence

Journalist Tam Wai-wan wrote about what she witnessed during the court hearing in Hong Kong:

"…people were shocked by the excessive amount of blood on the forehead of the 6th defendant when videos were shown in the court room.

While the police officer acknowledged that the defendant was bleeding, he claimed that he 'did not know why.'

In the live broadcast footage shown in the court, which captured how the defendant was arrested at the protest scene, it showed 5-6 riot police charging towards the defendant, aggressively hitting him with their batons.

Blatantly making claims contrary to the evidence, the police officer responsible for the arrest claimed that he was not aware of the doings of his colleagues.

When the defending lawyer asked whether he hit the defendant with a baton, causing him to bleed profusely, the officer claimed that he 'only hit his arms'..."
