Despite Under No. 3 Typhoon Signal, Lone Man Insists on Remembering 8.31 Terrorist Attack at Prince Edward Station

21:45 | Prince Edward
On August 31, 2019, police stormed in the Prince Edward MTR station, pepperspraying and hitting tens of train passengers with batons inside the train and on the concourse. As the police swept away journalists and first aiders from the station, rumour had it say deaths had been covered up. The terror remained in the memory of the population after 11 months.

Every month, civilians in Hong Kong commemorate the victims of police brutality outside of the station, despite increasingly strong police presence.

Nathan Law: "I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship"

This is the full version Nathan Law published on Facebook:

//Like all of you, I found out that I — along with five other Hong Kongers currently overseas — am on the wanted list for having violated the NSL from news reports. I have no idea what is my “crime” and I don’t think that’s even important. These are trumped-up charges. Perhaps, in the end, the answer is that I love Hong Kong too much.

Since 2014 I have experienced a lot of ups and downs: from student leader to a Legislative Council member, and from a prisoner to an international advocate, I have not for a moment betrayed Hong Kongers’ values and democratic aspirations. I’d be dishonest if I said I could’ve imagined six years ago that, by the time of Hong Kong’s complete destruction under Chinese control in 2020, I’d be so far gone, truly not knowing when I could return home.

I was prepared when I left Hong Kong to be in exile; but this becoming a reality still disappoints, incapacitates, and frightens me. Indeed who can enjoy freedom from fear in the face of China’s powerful political machine? What we can choose is how to respond to this fear: For me, it’s with action.

I’ve always advocated for freedom and democracy in Hong Kong, for sanctions by foreign governments against Chinese and Hong Kong officials who stifle human rights, for an active international response to concentration camps in Xinjiang and the collapse of Hong Kong’s autonomy.

The arrests, the disqualifications, the wanted bulletins — these are indications of our need to remain active on the global stage. That Hong Kong has no place for even such moderate views like ours underscores the absurdity of Chinese Communist rule. I really love Hong Kong: its terrain, its culture, its vibe. But what I most love are Hong Kongers’ values and the future of its every inhabitant. What I now face is far greater than my own gains and losses. The price of displacement is what I’m willing to pay.

My social media will remain active. I hope, too, that all of you can stand strong to resist the white terror rather than succumb to self-censorship. At the same time, I hereby reiterate: My advocacy work overseas is conducted in my own personal capacity, without any collaboration with others. Since leaving Hong Kong, I have also stopped contacting members of my family. From now on I’ll sever my relationship with them.

I will also try my best to protect my safety. Please don’t worry about me. I still have faith in the future.//

Joshua Wong Questions the Authorities' Larger Plan of Prosecution under the National Security Law In Disguise of Disqualifications

In a press conference held on July 31, Joshua Wong said the accusations ruled by returning officer of the Electoral Affairs Commission were “ridiculous”. Wong pointed out that this is not only about barring him from running for the LegCo Election, but also a larger plan to prosecute him under the national security law, after twisting his views.

Regarding the Returning Officer's request that candidates believe in the Basic Law, Joshua Wong questioned whether the Basic Law has risen to the religious level. [1] He also doubted how much Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam and former Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying and his family believe in the Basic Law when they "hold British passports and are British".

In addition, the Returning Officer’s approach is to completely ban international connections, which is tantamount to announcing to the international community that "Hong Kong is shut down."

Wong commented that the Returning Officers treated the work of international connections like a witch hunt, and that the whole process felt more like a correspondence with national security officers than replying to a query from a "low-grade civil servant."

Finally, he stated that he would continue to play his role in the democratic movement, and he also solemnly stated to the Beijing government, the SAR government and the Returning Officer that "You can't kill us all."

[1]: Although the English statement states that nominations should "embrace" the Basic Law, the Chinese statement used the word 「信奉」(worship), which holds a religious tone.

Comic Artist Ah To: "This is the horror of the white terror"

The following was written by the artist of this comic, Ah To:

"After submitting this comic strip, I was notified by Ming Pao Weekly that my column will be terminated.

After July 1st, I received a warm reminder from the journal that the serialized content should be careful to not violate the national security law. Today, my column was to stop because of an "editorial revision." Under the current political gloom, I inevitably had all kinds of speculation... This is the horror of the white terror.

Looking back at the content of the last published comic, I couldn't help but show a bitter smile. Haha."

China 'Exploring Ways to Counteract' UK's Help Towards BN(O)

According to Members of the PRC's Standing Committee of National People's Congress, Tam Yiu-chung, of the Pro-Beijing Camp said in a media interview that China is currently exploring ways to counteract U.K.'s easing of the application of citizenship among BNO (British National Overseas) holders.

Tam said that China may revoke the Chinese nationality of BNO holders, and this might affect their Hong Kong permanent resident status and forbid them from travelling to China with the Chinese pass.
