#HongKong's prison authority has given Witness updated statistics re the number of #PoliticalPrisoners currently behind bars: As of March 1, 2026, 292 people were imprisoned for offenses related to the 2019 protests & "national security" violations🧵 bit.ly/3S3I1fP

But following CSD's message to Witness, it’s fairly safe to assume that the total number of political prisoners currently behind bars in #HongKong is far closer to, say, 300 than to 500.

On this day 7yrs ago tens of thousands of #HongKongers surrounded the Legislative Council building to stop passage by the rigged pro-CCP Legco of a bill legalizing extradition to China. Protesters were attacked by police, leading to months of huge protests in the millions.🧵

This video was captured by Apple Daily, later forced to shut down by the regime. It became iconic of police brutality that day as several officers set upon a lone, defenseless, prone protester, crushing her with their shield, beating her with their batons.

The vast majority of #HongKongers were united in condemnation of the police attack & gov’t refusal to heed their demands. June 12 became symbolic of the HK gov’t working for the CCP & against the HK people. Another mass march was called for June 16—2 million would turn out then.
