Veteran #HongKong activist Koo Sze-yiu was charged in court on Mon w/ #sedition & remanded in custody tho' he's 77 & has cancer. When arrested Dec 8, he was about to take a coffin to EAC HQ to protest the #FakeElection. He wore a shirt reading, "Rise in truth or perish in lies." https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1734166645692641399#m
R to @hkdc_us: In spite of the government's & pro-CCP camp's massive mobilization efforts, the #HongKong people showed their will simply by not voting, the only "voice" they have left. This #FakeElection is wholly illegitimate both according to international law & in the eyes of the people. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1733849912045904260#m
R to @hkdc_us: W/ the arrests & repression, the #HongKong #FakeElection looks set to have a record-low turnout, as expected. As of 7:30 pm, only 24.53% of eligible voters had voted, far off the 71.2% who voted in the pro-democracy landslide victory of 2019, the last free & fair election in HK. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1733848808897872375#m
R to @hkdc_us: It was the #HongKong government's sick joke to hold this #FakeElection on international #HumanRightsDay. It severely infringes the basic right to political participation. No opposition candidates are allowed to run, only pro-CCP ones. Most of the opposition is in prison or exile. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1733846513338454471#m
R to @hkdc_us: In all, so far, at least 9 people have been arrested & 2 international arrest warrants issued for trying to protest or calling on others to not vote or cast an invalid vote in today's #FakeElection in #HongKong. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1733846110769156360#m
R to @hkdc_us: #HongKong national security police announced today that veteran #HongKong activist Koo Sze-yiu has been charged with #sedition & will be brought to court on Monday.
