More than 40 remaining Hong Kong pro-democracy activists jailed - only those in exile remain free
This is terrible and happening right now. I think China will find the economic success of Hong Kong collapses due to this terrible action of suppression and removal of freedom, but it will probably take long enough that it will be too late for the people involved. 🙁 I think it will take major intervention for change from this point. I don't think they'll just easily back down. 🙁 The world needs to exert pressure on China to change this and set the people free.

'Dear world, this is happening in Hong Kong right now: 47 pro-democracy activists and citizens are now detained. They are charged with “conspiracy to commit subversion” under the national security law. They will be brought to the court tomorrow morning and are unlikely to be bailed out anytime soon. They are likely to be thrown into jail for years. Reporters from The Washington Post put it precisely: 'The charges now mean that every prominent, and even moderate, opposition voice in Hong Kong is either now in jail, or in exile, crushing the city’s democratic aspirations as Beijing tightens its grips around the city’s core institutions.''
