The arrest of pro-democracy activists in

The mass arrests of over 50 pan-democratic politicians and activists in
#HongKong is one of the most serious attack on rights & freedom in their history. There is no justification for such an outrageous & targeted attack. The UK will not turn our backs on the people of Hong Kong. https://twitter.com/dominicraab/status/1346826415816241152 … -
The purge in Hong Kong continues. In the largest single day of arrests (52) yet since the implementation of the National Security Law (NSL), the CCP and Hong Kong authorities sought to root out the whole of the pro-democracy political establishment and movement.
