Read Hang Tung Chow’s speech for the human rights award of CCBE - Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe in 2023 again. It’s such an honour to help her read out most parts of her speech during the award ceremony (it’s rather long 😅).

finally got the chance to work on the registration renewal procedures for my doctoral studies. it’s embarrassing to say the number of years spent on the thesis. but it’s good that i can regain the energy to go through the bureaucratic procedure after leaving the hospital for one month.

They only exercised their right to freedom of expression. They should not have been detained and charged in the first place. The current trial is nothing more than a political trial by a kangaroo court. #HongKong
“Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho are charged with inciting subversion under Hong Kong’s national security law…The defendants face a maximum penalty of 10 years’ imprisonment if convicted. The law has a near-100% conviction rate”.

Just finished the interview with the Princeton student who is working on her thesis about the impact of international pressure on human rights defenders in China. Impressive. Very professional questions and arrangement of the interview. Wish her good luck with her research.

It's encouraging to receive an email from a Princeton student asking to do an interview about how I think about the impact (if any) from international pressure outcomes for political prisoners in China. Great that people are still concerned about that. That's very important.

#李翹楚 翹楚，又一年了，讀了你今年生日的文章，相信你要繼續面對各種挑戰，真不容易，一定是時刻想念志永，可恨中國當局一直不給你們通訊自由，連最基本的互相問候也不行，這是侵犯人權，在極權政府面前，普通人會常常感到無力，畢竟大家能做的很有限。你很努力透過你的文章和音樂堅持著，心靈上的壓力一定是很大，心裡一定很難受。但願新一年能有改變，希望你和志永能早日團聚。繼續為你們祈禱，繼續在有限的能力和網絡為志永呼籲，希望大家不要忘記你們承受的痛苦。
