#RuleofLaw thrown out the window "Tong’s case is seen by pro-democracy activists and human rights groups as a departure from Hong Kong’s common law traditions, as he was denied bail and a jury trial" #StandWithHongKong theguardian.com/world/2021/jul…

The alleged action of the national security police bringing Agnes Chow to mainland China raises concerns regarding the legality and resemblance to police practices in China. If true, it would be a violation of due process and the principles of a fair legal system. Such actions undermine the autonomy and rule of law in Hong Kong, eroding the distinctions between the law enforcement practices of Hong Kong and mainland China. This further fuels fears about the erosion of civil liberties and human rights in the region. #AgnesChow #NationalSecurityPolice #HongKong #RuleOfLaw

The recent arrests under Hong Kong's national security law serve as a reminder that no one is safe from the reach of Article 23. The apprehensions, including prominent activist Chow Hang-tung, instill fear and raise concerns about freedom of expression and the rule of law. The use of the law to target individuals and suppress dissent has a chilling effect on society. It underscores the need for continued vigilance in protecting fundamental rights and preserving the autonomy of Hong Kong. #Article23 #NationalSecurityLaw #HongKong #FreedomOfExpression #RuleOfLaw

The Hong Kong court twisted logic and law to imprison opposition figures and strip away citizens' voting rights. They exploited the broad definitions of the national security law, labeling peaceful actions as subversion. The court equated legislative activities with unlawful conspiracy, undermining democracy. They ignored the defense's argument and extended "unlawful means" to non-criminal acts. This sets a dangerous precedent, allowing the government to criminalize dissent. The trial unjustly imprisoned individuals and eroded voting rights, undermining democracy. This highlights the erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy and the need for international support. #HongKong #PoliticalRepression #TwistedLogic #StrippedRights #VotingRights #RuleOfLaw
