Just discovered this very worthwhile initiative @kyr_hk from @LeitnerCenter, a resource for improving Hongkongers' access to justice in the face of unrelenting repression. Sadly, the principles on which Hong Kong's justice system is founded have been twisted beyond recognition.
To #bail or not to bail? On the 3rd day into #HongKong's bail hearing marathon of 47 democrats and activists, here's a reminder on the #righttobail: The starting position should be protecting the liberty of person under Art 5 of the Hong Kong #BillofRights. #HongKong47 #kyrhk
