‘In the name of the dead, I beg you to go on strike.’ Pedder St, Central, Hong Kongpic.twitter.com/tEtB0PzFrb
Just got news of the old man set on fire in Ma On Shan, presumably by a protester. I can’t emphasise enough: it’s entirely unacceptable to attack civilians, let alone as gruesomely as this. If we say the police must pay for their crimes, we must too. I pray for the victim.
Apparently an image of the man after he was set on fire. It’s said he has 2nd degree burns to 30% of his body. Every protester I talk to strongly condemns the attack on him. No more attacks on civilians!pic.twitter.com/rBUuEHTmmr
Police now advancing eastward from Sheung Wan to Central on Des Voeux Rd & shooting teargas at a mostly empty street. Most protesters have gotten the warning & cleared out.pic.twitter.com/aiZ86IQjXt

For all of the Bank of China branches ‘renovated’ around #HK, this is the first time I’ve seen the old BoC HQ building spraypainted, windows broken.pic.twitter.com/EtFX9GMyCI
The exodus from Central to Admiralty. I thought police would wait til evening to attack us, but after lunch, numbers dropped as people returned to work. At a crucial moment to escalate, #HK people blinked. Now we’re on the run again.pic.twitter.com/WaClduenKR

In the 2nd major crackdown on pro-democracy leaders since protests began, 7 Legco members appeared in court to face charges of violating Legco’s Powers & Privileges Ordinance. Released on bail. Next hearing: Jan 13https://news.rthk.hk/rthk/en/component/k2/1491345-20191111.htm?spTabChangeable=0 …
Important context: court threw out govt case against Long Hair on grounds Legco members couldn’t be tried under the Ordinance as it was to protect Legco members from non-members. Now govt’s back at it again, 7 more times!
20 pro-democracy Legco members have faced 30 trials since #UmbrellaMovement, out of about 28 total. Imagine a place where govt has put 2/3 of the parliamentary opposition on trial. That place is #HK. No wonder people protest.
This says pro-dems are absolutely feared by CCP, CL and gang
if all 28 according to hk law have broken the hk law, all 28 should be arrested and put thru the legal process. 你写的东西真没水平,下次用用脑子
