Woke up with a new arrest warrant & a HKD1m bounty. Grateful for those who reached out & offered support to me & fellow #Hongkongers who are wanted by the govt. As I process this, let me reiterate that my advocacy for democracy & freedom has not and will not stop. #FreeHK ✊🏼

@williamnee And before you say it, someone already did!😉 This is from @gongjyuhok soon after I made the initial whistleblowing post.

@frances_hui Yikes! Someone should use AI to create what an Apple Daily cover may have looked like on this case 😂

So... here is what I have been up to in the past few days, doing what was supposed to be the job of local investigative journalists, which is made impossible by the national security apparatus. 👇🏽

Joshua Wong is facing up to life in PRISON. His only real “crime” was having the courage to stand up for his God-given rights in Communist controlled Hong Kong. This is wrong. The oppression needs to end. Joshua must be RELEASED.

From @frances_hui 【當國安成為免死金牌：辦公室戀情到濫用公帑與利益衝突】 前兩日，周天行被擢升為刑事檢控專員，本來我只係出咗個 Story贈興，講周天行賺公帑用工時同同事出軌，以及楊美琪包庇佢嘅事。 我本來無意做吹哨者，以為單野有跟開法庭野都應該知道，但Story一出有好多人問我攞料，到今日仲收到來自檢控官內部進一步爆料嘅訊息，先知呢件事已經超出私德有問題，而係存在公權力被私有化、利益衝突無被申報同濫用權力嘅問題。 如果香港仲有《蘋果》，或者更準確講，如果香港無國安法，呢類案件應該早就被查到通天。問題係今日嘅香港，任何涉及「國安」兩個字嘅事，內部嘅人唔可以挑戰，外部嘅人都唔敢報。輕則叫你刪報導，重則告你違反國安法同煽動。 首先，周天行同陳穎琛 Crystal Chan 之間嘅關係早已係公開秘密。2018年陳穎琛加入刑事檢控科後，好快就已經同周天行拍拖，長期以周天行助手身份參與案件，包括初選 47 人案同蘋果高層案。正式架構上，佢屬於科技罪行組（即所謂電腦組）。 同一個部門拍拖唔緊要，但一般都會向上級申報，再安排佢哋避免處理同一案件同放埋同一條team。個道理相信都好簡單，要避免私人關係同公務決定重疊，影響判斷同公正，同時要避免有利益衝突、私相授受嘅嫌疑。而以下要講嘅野，係由好幾個source提供嘅資料整理出嚟，周陳兩人好明顯就踩中哂兩條紅線，事到如今周仲有得升職做檢控科阿頭，所以我先出Story話佢好逍遙。 喺處理整個初選 47 人案期間，兩人不下一次打住「處理國安案件」嘅名義，用公帑要求警方安排五星級酒店 Murray Hotel 住宿，時間包括聖誕、新年、情人節等日子，用公共資源俾兩位開房。陳穎琛生日當日，警察更被要求去中環 Lady M 買價值約一千港元嘅粉紅色生日蛋糕返西九office，用嘅理由係「因為助手鍾意粉紅色」。有指到黎智英案期間，警方後來都認為咁做唔妥當，先大幅削走酒店服務。 公帑同公務資源有無被用作私人用途，並非無從查證。如果有檢控科高層、反貪部門、警察、記者想知，其實搵返負責嘅警隊，或者翻查相關開支、電郵、訊息、酒店紀錄、付款安排同批准人等行政紀錄都係可以查證到。 整個用公帑偷食嘅情況，楊美琪（即刑事檢控阿頭、周天行上司）都係知情嘅。有傳話周天行老婆一度踩上楊美琪office大發雷霆，向佢投訴。 一直以來我都淨係知道咁多，以為搞到咁大件事，照計要息事寧人都應該要係咁而將佢哋調派去唔同部門，或者着周天行收斂下，但都係呢幾日我先知原來人無恥係咁無上限。 周天行同陳穎琛做事馬虎參差就通街通行都知，法庭新聞間唔中都會講下佢又有咩蝦碌、邏輯不通嘅事。（題外話：大部分國安案，如果喺一個有陪審團、有法治基礎嘅環境入面，用佢哋嘅Level去打，應該大部分都唔會入到，but anyway~）但陳穎琛近年的升遷、出庭機會同曝光程度，都被同事形容為遠超一般同級或更資深嘅同事。據內部人士指，今年三月，因為科技罪行組主管要做支聯會案，陳穎琛開始承擔主管職責。周天行同佢表面上唔同team，實際上科技罪行組都係由佢全權管理。 更嚴重嘅係，有人指上星期周天行親自指示下屬，即陳穎琛嘅直屬上司，喺陳穎琛嘅考績報告中，大部份評級同訟辯能力都必須要俾A grade。又要求任何「有潛質案件」都要優先分配俾陳穎琛，以便佢可以盡快成為資深大律師。事前周天行已經率先安排陳穎琛參與涉及對沖基金公司Segantii 嘅證監會內幕交易案，咁高曝光同高門檻嘅案件，以佢資歷同表現，又真係在情在理都唔輪到佢做。 據講陳穎琛上司因此R爆頭，唔知到底點樣可以將呢個「去到邊個Court到做唔到A級表現嘅人」，寫到係A級。檢控科內部矛盾高漲，已經有員工曾經用formal同informal嘅渠道向楊美琪反映，但就被指係因為妒忌周天行而造謠，仲話楊美琪同律政司都係撐周天行，明顯整個投訴機制同內部監察已經失效。 問題嚟啦，一個高級檢控官多年來喺缺乏有效監察下，用公共資源去滿足私人需要，同下屬發展私人關係，甚至參與同影響對方嘅考績、工作分配、出庭機會同升遷安排，最後不但無被問責，仲可以升做刑事檢控科阿頭，同時掌握國安、商業罪案、廉署同證監會相關事務，咁到底之後仲有無可能展開獨立調查？ 周天行同陳穎琛嘅關係唔只係辦公室戀情咁簡單，先唔講工作本來就應該避免不當操守，理應申報關係，繼而調派不同職務，再講公職人員最忌公權力被私人化。咁嚴重嘅指控，用一句「妒忌」或「造謠」就帶過，仲要繼續俾佢升職獨攬大權，就只能夠話律政司不單係縱容，甚至係鼓吹呢啲行為。 雖則呢幾年嚟律政司都無咩廉潔同公信力可言，但如果政府有心維護呢個形象，咁多個部門都係有調查同投訴機制，呢到講過嘅野係孰真孰假，其實搵下紀錄、聽下員工口供都應該大把證據。 中國國家安全講到底，其實都係用嚟包庇公務員私德問題同濫權。美麗新香港最荒謬嘅地方，唔係無人知道發生咩事，係全世界都知道咩事，但個制度仍然選擇當睇唔到。 @frances.huii/post/DYp0rvej0do" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">threads.com/@frances.huii/…

For years, every lawyer and journalist in Hong Kong has known that new Director of Public Prosecutions Anthony Chau was in an inappropriate sexual relationship with his subordinate Crystal Chan, granting her special privileges and misusing public funds to conceal it. But it took an activist in exile, @frances_hui, to bring it into the open. If you have wondered why Hong Kong officials are so determined to shut down independent media like Apple Daily, imprison journalists, and drive human rights lawyers out of town, now you understand.

Online posts by @frances_hui claim that newly appointed Director of Public Prosecutions Anthony Chau Tin-hang had an improper relationship with a subordinate DoJ prosecutor, using public funds to stay at The Murray for "national security case work" scmp.com/news/hong-kong…

Freedom House is monitoring reports that the national security case against Hong Kong pro-democracy activist, @joshuawongcf, has been transferred to a higher court. Joshua Wong, who is 29 years old, now faces up to life imprisonment for his activism as a student and co-founder of the pro-democracy party Demosisto. Joshua is one of the many political prisoners that should be immediately and unconditionally released ahead of any visit by Xi Jinping to the United States. #FreeThemAll hongkongfp.com/2026/05/14/jai…

Just in: Sentencing for Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office spy case defendants Bill Yuen and Peter Wai set on June 4. What a coincidence -- June 4 is the anniversary of the Tiananmen Massacre in Beijing in 1989.

STATEMENT: We are grateful that @POTUS raised the release of political prisoners, including Jimmy Lai, in his meetings this week with General Secretary Xi Jinping. Lai has been imprisoned solely for his unwavering belief in freedom and democracy. After years of unjust detention, his continued imprisonment is indefensible. Consistent with President Trump’s commitments and demands and bipartisan resolutions from the United States Congress, we call for Jimmy Lai’s immediate and unconditional release on humanitarian grounds, at a minimum. Any progress on U.S.-China relations must be predicated on the release of Lai and other Hong Kong political prisoners. Expressions of concern must now be matched by sustained action. Moving forward, we call on President Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and members of Congress to intensify pressure on Beijing to secure Jimmy Lai’s freedom and to make clear that this demand is non-negotiable. #FreeJimmyLai 🔗thecfhk.org/statement-on-p…

I am pleased to see the Senate unanimously pass @SenTedCruz & my resolution urging China to release Dr. Gulshan Abbas, Pastors Jin Mingri & Gao Quanfu, Pang Yu, Ekpar Asat, Jimmy Lai, & other political prisoners. I urge President Trump to address their timely release with President Xi this week in China.

Yesterday we stood together at Lafayette Square. Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kongers, Americans. One voice. No deals without freedom. @POTUS heads to Beijing later this week. I am asking him directly to free my sister, Dr. Gulshan Abbas. She has been imprisoned for nearly 3,000 days for my words as an American citizen. Bring her home. #FreeGulshanAbbas

Deeply grateful for @RepMoolenaar for his continued leadership and support. It means a great deal to know that families and advocates for political prisoners are not standing alone. We cannot treat China a reliable partner when they are jailing people simply for their beliefs.

For @EWTN, @madalaine_e reports on yesterday's White House rally in support of #China and #HongKong political prisoners, and President Trump's confirmation that he would raise #FreeJimmyLai and #PastorEzraJin with Xi Jinping when they meet later this week. Our Policy and Advocacy Manager @frances_hui: “There are many hundreds and thousands of Christians in China being imprisoned for their faith,” she said, highlighting other religious minorities including Muslims and other “ethnic communities that are being imprisoned simply for holding their faith. “So, we are here to just call their names and to remind President Trump this is the time to turn his commitment into action.” ewtnnews.com/world/us/trump…

President Trump @POTUS — you said you would bring them home. We are counting on you. Behind every name is a family waiting and a voice that the CCP seeks to silence. #FreeJimmyLai #FreePastorEzraJin #FreeGulshanAbbas #FreeEkparAsat #FreePastorGao #FreeDingJiaxi

I want to thank those who stood with us: @MarkLClifford, @RushanAbbas, @RayhanAsat, @luoshch, @GraceJDrexel, Gao Pu, Tsejin Khando, @SophieDRich, @OmerKanat1, @jonstivers, & many more. And thank you @RepMoolenaar, @RepMcGovern, & @SenJeffMerkley for your statements of support.

Yesterday, families & supporters of political prisoners gathered in front of the @WhiteHouse to ask @POTUS to bring political prisoners in China home when he meets Xi this week. Their voices & stories remind us why the US should make no deals with China without their freedom. 🧵

Today along with many people here, I showed up for Ekpar. Everyone pictured is showing up for loved ones and the community. No rain or nothing deters us. We will keep fighting for them.

Some photos of mine from today’s “No Deals Without Freedom Rally to Free Jimmy Lai & Political Prisoners in China & Hong Kong” in Washington, DC, outside of the White House ahead of U.S. President Trump’s meeting with CCP General Secretary Xi Jinping in Communist China. 1 of 6

No Deals Without Freedom. This morning, steps from The White House, @frances_hui, Hong Kong’s first political asylee and Dissident Project speaker, stood with fellow advocates demanding the release of political prisoners ahead of the Trump-Xi Summit. Have you lived through something similar? Apply for our 2026-2027 class. Link in bio. #HongKong

PRESS RELEASE: Today, supporters and family members of political prisoners unjustly detained in #China and #HongKong, including #FreeJimmyLai, called on @POTUS to secure their release when he meets Xi Jinping later this week. Thank you, @RepMoolenaar, @RepMcGovern, and @SenJeffMerkley for offering supportive remarks. Thanks also to all those who attended and let the White House know there should be: "No Deals Without Freedom!" Full release and quotes👇 thecfhk.org/white-house-ra…
