    Replying to @benedictrogers
    The strangulation of #AppleDaily ought to be a wake-up call for the free world - the latest in a succession of wake-up calls. I won't stop speaking out, calling out the appeasers, until the democratic world takes action. Here's what I said on 12 June:

    I am receiving dozens of these messages every minute. Prime Minister @BorisJohnson President @realDonaldTrump @DominicRaab @10DowningStreet @FCOHumanRights @SecPompeo You need to act now to save Hong Kong!

    Immediate action needed now to save Hong Kong. Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary, please act. @DominicRaab @BorisJohnson @10DowningStreet
    #PoliceTerrorists are surrounding #PolyU, they are geared up with machine guns and live rounds. Please, please save my brothers and sisters inside. Please save the young lives inside, it will be a mass #massacre if we don’t do anything. It will become another #TianAnMenMassacre

    1/2 Tomorrow I will begin a 24 hour fast & hunger strike for Hong Kong. I call it a fast & a hunger strike because they have two meanings. A fast is spiritual & includes prayer. A hunger strike is political & involves protest. #HongKong #StandwithHK #democracyforhongkong

    URGENT - What is happening at Hong Kong's Polytechnic University is truly shocking.....UK POLITICIANS CALL ON HONG KONG CHIEF EXECUTIVE CARRIE LAM TO ACT TO PREVENT LOSS OF LIFE AT HONG KONG’S POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY davidalton.net/2019/11/17/urg… via @wordpressdotcom

    So the disqualifications start even as #HongKong government considers postponing Legislative Council elections. Total disenfranchisement. Totally outrageous. @DominicRaab it is time to add #CarrieLam and #HK and #China officials to the #Magnitsky sanctions list.

    #HongKongers: for my birthday, I wanted to do something special So I decided instead of just writing a short slogan, like I do each day, today I would learn my favourite anthem, which is embedded in my heart & mind So I wrote #GloryToHongKong 👇😀❤️🇭🇰‼️ youtube.com/watch?v=ulera9…

    Today I am practising my traditional Chinese characters again, with #HongKong constantly in my heart & mind This is what I wrote today #HKers, I'll never stop supporting you, and I'll keep on appealing to the world - and especially UK - to do its duty #StandwithHK

    #HongKongers: in these increasingly dark times for #HongKong, here's what I wrote for you today 👇 I can't promise to change things, but I can promise to do everything possible to help, to redouble my efforts & shine a light, however tiny, on the darkness - & be a 'handfoot' :)

    I call on the world to act to save Hong Kong, to put pressure on Carrie Lam to pull back from the brink, demand an end to impunity for police barbarity, to impose targeted Magnitsky sanctions on those responsible for torture #HongKongProtest #StandwithHK #DemocracyForHK @hk_watch
