3/ The law has sent a wave of fear through the city, and criminalised certain opinions such as calls for independence or autonomy. At his court appearance on Tuesday, Wong, 23, remained unbowed. “We still have to let the world know that now is the time to stand with Hong Kong,”pic.twitter.com/QQJ0Vlgkd5

4/ He told reporters, adding that China could not “ignore and silence the voice of Hong Kong people”. “With the belief of Hong Kong people to fight for freedom, we will never give up and surrender to Beijing.”pic.twitter.com/3LYjLX3Lre

5/ Wong – who began campaigning for democracy when he was just 12 – is often vilified by China’s state media as a “black hand” conspiring with foreign forces to undermine the nation.pic.twitter.com/SVnO5AtnRn

6/ Wong steered clear of any mention of sanctions in his remarks on Monday, instead of sticking to more general comments about not turning a blind eye to what is happening in Hong Kong. “We also encourage the global community to let our voice be heard around the world,” he said.pic.twitter.com/gnfjFup1nt

7/ The national security law, imposed on Tues, is the most radical shift in how Hong Kong is run since it was handed back to China by Britain in 1997. Under the handover deal, Beijing promised Hong Kong could keep key civil liberties, as well as judicial and legislative autonomy.pic.twitter.com/LsMtPappT6

8/ The new law has changed that landscape. It empowers China’s security agents to operate openly in the city, toppling the legal firewall that has existed between the mainland’s party-controlled courts and HK’s independent judiciary.pic.twitter.com/fDOMr1EOwn

9/ Beijing has also said it will have jurisdiction over especially “serious” prosecutions. China says the powers will restore stability after a year of pro-democracy protests, will not stifle freedoms, and will only target a “very small minority”.pic.twitter.com/gvKhAhz5vn
