#ChristmasEve2020 in #HongKong, massive police station at multiple districts, cops armed with weapons threatening civilians who wanna see Christmas lights and display, citing epidemic prevention.
But it’s okay for @hkpoliceforce to ignore social distancing.

Many of us have the privilege of being safe and warm in our homes during Xmas - but not the 12 HK youths who are detained by China
@MarisePayne Will Australia work with global democracies to defend #Hongkongers and resist Chinese aggression?

BREAKING: We were informed that Andy would be brought to trial on Monday (28/12) afternoon. As with other politically sensitive cases, obviously they rushed for the Christmas period so as to minimize international backlash. #save12hkyouths
Merry Christmas to all and let’s keep all the courageous Hongkongers in prison and in exile in our prayers.
God bless Hong Kong🎄🎅🏻☃️🙏🏻

Remandees at Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre chants for Christmas. Daily Record’s reporters were met with a warm greeting by the remanded where they asked when we would leave, they also told us to keep the struggle on.
Attorneys appointed by #CCP notified the families of the 12 #HongKong detainees, that 10 of them will be taken to the trial at Yantian People's Court on 28th ( next Monday ). The closed-door hearing of the 2 underaged detainees will not be held on the same day.

#BREAKING 12 #HongKong youths accused of illegal border crossing will go on trial in Yantian on Monday, according to the #12HKyouths concern group. They were allegedly trying to flee to Taiwan on boat when intercepted by Guangdong coastguard in August

And with their imminent trial coming up in a month's time, we urge international governments to keep up the pressure and ensure they do not get tried in secret. #FreeAndyLi#save12hkyouths
This year many will be celebrating #Christmas with a heavy heart. For those who are in exile, who are facing persecution, our thoughts are with you. For you are not alone, we will always stand together, and may Christmas bring you peace and joy.
聖誕快樂 光復香港 時代革命🎄
Today’s Christmas. Beijing notified some of the #12HKyouths s family that 10 of them will be trailed on the 28th. The trial will NOT be open to public/ family.
Beijing knows the free world is on holiday and will not be able to give it as much attention as it would in other days.
#ARREST! #HKPF found 2 13 y/o boys in possession of an imitation firearm & other weapons, & subsequently arrested them. #Police strongly condemn possession of imitation firearms as they pose grave threat to public safety. #ZeroTolerance for illegal acts! Resolute #LawEnforcement!
#HongKong communist govt banned dining in restaurants from 6pm, but @hkpoliceforce keep harassing diners at Central around 4 pm every single day. During the patrol, customers weren’t even allowed to use their cell phones. Geez I thought this is North Korea.

Thinking of my friend @benedictrogers right now, undertaking a hunger strike on Christmas Eve as he urges China to release political prisoners like Joshua Wong and the Hong Kong 12. Aussie media need to pick this story up.

Speechless... what happened to @JimmyLaiApple’s account😔
The terms of Mr Lai’s bail is ridiculous, and it’s the most rigorous in #HongKong’s history, it’s not even bail, it’s a absolute house arrest.
He’s not allowed to connect the outside world thru social media.
