Democracy activists' books disappear from Hong Kong libraries after new law

Books by prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy figures have become unavailable in the Chinese-ruled city’s public libraries as they are being reviewed to see whether they violate a new national security law, a government department said on Sunday.

“While legal advice will be sought in the process of the review, the books will not be available for borrowing and reference in libraries.”

Ridiculously so called “pro-democracy books”, typical western brain-washing, nasty, sinophobic journalism, these are actually pro-violence, pro-colonialism, pro-treason illegal books against HK laws!

Same as Nazi germany

The culture revolution2.0 started. Luckily it’s unlike the past, we can spread it free online, we can print it. Don’t lose your hope, find the way out. StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom BoycottChinaProducts

Good, why is western media so concerned with Hong Kong, when SBS, Aust media networks and govt don't care about the crimes in Palestine... I can only imagine SBS like the govt support Apartheid ethnic cleansing and annexation...

the protesters did this all to themselves, If these idiots didn't defend the rights of criminals being brought to mainland china for trial then these new laws would not of come into place.

HKWORLDCITY It's like in mainland China, book shops never have books on politicians.

That’s why government officials of HongKong send their kids to the overseas! HongKongProtests HongKongNeedsHelp StandWithHongKong

momimomibl More and more censorship. It proves that onecountrytwosystems is no longer exist.

HKWORLDCITY China is good in rewriting history!

This is showing how ‘freedom’ of Hong Kong is. The erosion of CCP will be more serious if no action is taken.

Now they're banning books that explicitly advocates for resistance and protests, is the next step banning books that criticizes CCP/ China? Then banning books promoting universal values? When a city doesn't allow academic freedom, it is heading towards demise. StandWithHongKong

The encroachment by CCP has extended to the freedom of speech and publications. There could not be excuses for the West to turn a blind eye and tolerate China's dictatorship.

This is just like the “Burning of books and burying of scholars” policy two thousands years ago by the tyranny Qin ruler. This is ridiculous but the actual situation of HK right now. HKers are under totalitarian rule. StandWithHongKong YouCantStopUs

Carrie Lam said the NationalSecurityLaw aims at a very small percentage of people who threatens national security. Most people are not affected by the law. But censorship of books affects the freedom of 7.5 million HKers. The law is used to repress freedom.

It's already one country one system and no more HK! Please don't visit if not mandatory! SOSHK antichinazi

Every dissenting view on the authority is banned n will be prosecuted...

Really Dark stage in HK and democracy World.... Is Free World still silence on such brutal and crazy cultural cleansing Next will be you once the evil have enough power....

The beliefs of liberty, democarcy and justice are rooted in the mind of every HKer. These beliefs cannot be removed.

Then I should do whatever the CCP likes if I wanna prevent myself from getting charged for crimes that I am not even aware of

China terminates HK autonomy by breaking agreements in Joint Declaration. National Security Law is legislated directly by CCP Gov. & oppression will be deepened sharply to HK ppl. HK freedom is murdered by CCP & HK puppet Gov already. StandWithHongKong

Cultural revolution 2.0

Don't ever think we can sit comfortably at our homes watching the withering of human values in HongKong. CCP's influences have reached our doors. Anytime, it's going to break in.

Freedom?

Soon, brainwashing will begin to wipe out the identity of HKers. StandWithHongKong Antichinazi

Limiting information of the counter view and brainwashing are the ways CCP uses to make people agreeing with their evil culture. They should try to change their system and governing style to make people accepting them instead of doing these suppressions.

That comes as no surprise as the Chinese police and military purge all pro-democracy material and people.

Of course they have. The CCP censorship of HK’s free speech has only just begun.

BOOKS PROMOTING TERRORISTS ACTS WOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN AUSTRALIA EITHER.

Controlling information is a common method used by dictators. The CCP wants to eliminate the voice of all dissidents😤

Just like the cultural revolution. White terror it is, censorship it is, dictatorship it is. Farewell to freedom hongkoners StandWithHongKong HongKongerLivesMatter HongKongNeedsHelp YounglivesMatter SOSHK antichinazi FreeHongKong BoycottChineseProduct Boycottchina

HK has come to an era of white terror. As a matter of fact, those disappeared books are not inciting HK independence. Anyone tells me where is the red line drawn? Will Les Misérables be banned tomorrow?

chinazi

During the China cultural revolution is 50s-60s, books were burnt and scholars were being publicly criticised. Now the same happens in hk.

Upon the passage of the draconian law, CCP has started to impose censorship widely, attempting to control what we can read and listen. To brainwash our children, textbooks are being revised and new material is being edited. Our freedoms diminish every second. StandWithHongKong

And the authors will probably become unavailable too.

Saddest of times for HKers. So sorry.

HK is China now.

Hong Kong medic first to be charged with inciting secession, terrorismA 23-year-old Hong Kong medic has become the first person to be charged under a sweeping national security law that Beijing imposed on the territory earlier this week Of all the things to be first in, I hazard this is not one . Example to be made by CCP I'm afraid for this guy. He was arrested for his flag that wrote: Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of Our Times. This slogan had been used for almost a whole year’s movement asking for justice and change, without linkage to independence. Independence was not even one of HKers’ 5 demands. Why don't the ethnic Chinese accept that they are Chinese? It is like Asian Australians not accepting that they are Asians. Or that European Australians are not Europeans!
