It seems very unlikely that the HK Gov't will ever come forward with a credible plan for independent investigation of police misconduct. That’s why I suggest that community leaders, including some former officials, must take the lead in organizing a prestigious group...

All the more reason an independent investigation is essential: #HongKong police watchdog unequipped to probe protest response, say experts appointed by the HK govt sg.news.yahoo.com/hong-kong-poli…

So Hong Kong again has “boat people” but this time they are leaving, not arriving. I recall when Hong Kong was a haven for thousands of Vietnamese who had fled the arriving Communists in 1975. 1/n

[HK asylum seekers could be sent to #China's secret courts] 1. Twelve #HKers, all involved in #hkprotests, were detained by #China’s coast guard today when fleeing to #Taiwan for political asylum. All of them are now detained in #China.

This is a thoughtful & plausible analysis of HK’s immediate future. If accurate in its hypothesis, the situation may soon become even worse. The specter of Article 23 returns ejinsight.com/20190102-the-s…

My take on the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act: jeromecohen.net/jerrys-blog/ho… We live by symbols, and enactment of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act would be a strong expression of American support for the protesters in Hong Kong.

In #GuiMinhai’s case, China has violated international law & Sweden’s sovereign rights. Sweden can sue the PRC before the Int’l Court of Justice & should try to do so in order to raise the public pressure. @SweMFA

China claims that #GuiMinhai gave up his Swedish citizenship when regaining Chinese nationality. This tactic is abusive & contrary to international law. My take. Why Has China Claimed the Detained Bookseller Gui Minhai Restored his Chinese Nationality? jeromecohen.net/jerrys-blog/gu…

Here is an op-ed by @nathanlawkc summarizing the plight of his HK compatriots. I wish one could be optimistic about short-term prospects for the protest movement. Law mentions the HK’s alleged placement of him and five others on an arrest wanted list. 1/n
