        Like many other prominent activists, his only crime was upholding freedom and democracy. The regime persecutes dissidents as if they're terrorists.

        M.K. Holmes Retweeted Hong Kong Watch

        The regime thinks no bail is the default option under #NationalSecurityLaw. That tells you how the local common law system is compromised.https://twitter.com/hk_watch/status/1356175629381758981 …

        Jimmy Lai goes before the Court of Final Appeal in a case which will set a precedent for NSL interpretation. @Johnny_HKWatch says: "The Hong Kong Bill of Rights guarantees presumption of bail for non-violent crimes. This principle must be upheld." https://www.hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/2021/2/1/the-court-of-final-appeal-must-protect-presumption-of-bail-in-jimmy-lais-trial …

        HK pro-democracy protesters are seriously oppressed by CCP. Some are silenced, some are fleeing in place w/ freedom & lobby for HK, some are detained w/o bail & some are jailed. But they all still fighting for HK freedom. Pls continue to support HK protesters. #standwithhk

        Jimmy Lai should be released immediately, instead of being hold in custody or ''bail'' as house arrests!
