        As we all know, rule of law and human rights don’t exist in China. We can’t expect any fair trial. I’m afraid that they are subject to torturing at this moment. #save12hkyouths by spreading the news please, for these freedom fighters.🙏🏻🙏🏻pic.twitter.com/YK3mP4T357

        I’m grieved by their emotion. How can someone detained with their basic rights taken away??

        China is notorious for persecution of dissidents and ethnic minorities. Until now, there isn't a shred of sign that they're safe.

        The 12 freedom fighters are not only being refused to appropriately appoint lawyers, but also at life risk in China. The thuggish #CCPChina might want to play hostage diplomacy. Please #save12hkyouths & sanction the tyranny. #SOSHK #CCP_is_terrorist
