...remember this one?

another excellent model of #youth led #liberation #movement from 2014

The "#UmbrellaMovement" name arose from the use of #umbrellas as a tool for passive #resistance against the #HongKong Police Force's pepper spray to disperse the crowd during the 79-day #occupation of the city demanding free and fair elections.

As much as I hate these #MAGAts tho, I just don't think the bank should have the right to take away someone's money. Consider these citizen movements: #ArabSpring #BlackLivesMatter #FreePalestine #UmbrellaMovement … most of them had their donation accounts frozen so they couldn't survive.

By referencing Amnesty’s current global campaign on #ProtecttheProtest, I shared how my colleagues and I monitored police handling of the #UmbrellaMovement and the #AntiExtraditionBillProtests, in particular monitoring whether police applied excessive force in dispersal of the protesters and in arresting protesters with reference to the relevant international human rights law.

The #CCP's exertion of influence on giants like @amazon aims to remove episodes associated with the #UmbrellaMovement in #HongKong. Is bowing to absurd propaganda the cost of doing business in #China? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/29/amazon-the-expats-series-not-available-in-hong-kong-where-it-is-set https://nitter.hongkongers.net/thecfhk/status/1751936285776781749#m

Yet more film #censorship in #HongKong: @amazon’s new series “Expats,” with scenes from the 2014 #UmbrellaMovement, can’t be accessed in HK though advertised as available worldwide. Dozens of films have been censored in HK in the past three years. https://news.yahoo.com/amazon-show-hong-kong-protest-130423944.html https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1750972720513454466#m

Today is the 9th anniversary of the #UmbrellaMovement. At @hkbaptistu, 3 students stood silently w/ yellow ribbons & signs. School officials told them to leave & initiated disciplinary proceedings. Latest sign of #HongKong authorities' utter intolerance of #FreeSpeech & assembly. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1707391807842066684#m
