I was an expat in Hong Kong from 2011 through to late 2019. I feel incredibly conflicted in my move back to London, but ultimately Sam my only advice is get out before you are made an example of again. There is no stopping the negative forces of the CCP. You cannot fight this with logic or the rule of law (which as you have discovered is simply a façade to keep international finance and investment in the city).
May the Hong Kong of the years past be treasured in our hearts and memories. Rather pessimistically I dont think she is coming back.
I wonder what is your view on the future of HK as a working destination for foreign professionals (Lawyers, Bankers, Execs etc)?
Good luck and best wishes on appeal. I only wish I was as half as brave as you.
