@CPJAsia RT by @MarkSimonHK: CPJ calls on Hong Kong authorities to stop its relentless persecution of Apple Daily’s executives and founder #JimmyLai, and drop their politically-motivated charges immediately and unconditionally #FreethePress https://cpj.org/2022/11/cpj-partners-call-on-hong-kong-leader-to-secure-jimmy-lais-release/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/CPJAsia/status/1672150480099897344#m
@lukedepulford RT by @nathanlawkc: Lord Johnson on his recent visit to #HongKong did not meet a single civil society group or dissident. Did not raise #JimmyLai case. Meetings entirely about business. Why would Hongkongers believe him when he says the UK “will not look the other way on Hong Kong”? https://nitter.hongkongers.net/lukedepulford/status/1671872994485104643#m

@thecfhk RT by @MarkSimonHK: Today is #FathersDay. Today also marks 900 days behind bars for #JimmyLai, who is being held for daring to publish the truth. Happy Fathers Day to Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk Yan, Albert Ho and all political prisoners in HK who are away from their children. You are not forgotten. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/thecfhk/status/1670382243334717442#m

More than 1,000 attended the #London #June12 rally on Sunday. It called on the UK gov't to publicly support #JimmyLai & other HK #PoliticalPrisoners; close all Confucius Institutes in the UK; & expedite processing of HK political asylum applications. https://points-media.com/%e6%9c%80%e6%96%b0/%e5%80%ab%e6%95%a6%e9%80%be%e5%8d%83%e6%b8%af%e4%ba%ba%e7%84%a1%e6%87%bc%e9%ab%98%e6%ba%ab%e7%b4%80%e5%bf%b5612%e5%9b%9b%e9%80%b1%e5%b9%b4-%e9%80%a3%e7%b5%90%e6%b8%af%e8%8b%b1%e8%ad%b0%e9%a1%8c/ [...]

The absurdity of the #HongKong #CCP quisling puppet government in threatening 🇺🇸 @CECCgov for "criminal contempt of court" for writing to @RishiSunak about #JimmyLai It's the #HK regime that's "perverting the course of justice" every single day https://www.info.gov.hk/gia/general/202306/08/P2023060800772.htm?fontSize=1 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1666998225176350722#m
