Hong Kong protesters are expected to rally outside the British Consulate on Sunday demanding that the former colonial power ensures China honours its commitments to the city's freedoms.
The Sino-British Joint Declaration, signed in 1984, lays out Hong Kong's future after its return to China in 1997, a"one country, two systems" formula that ensures freedoms not enjoyed on the mainland.
Freedom shd be the basic need as a human!!! No one can take away from us!! HongKongers FreeHongKong
Britian signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration and hv to ensure Hongkong hv the promised autonomy
We are seeking UK help since it has the legitimacy to condemn China for violating the Sino-British Joint Declaration signed. UK should have the responsibility to call China to respect the signed declaration and resulting Basic Law & enact the commitments !!! chinazi HongKong
we need freedom of speech . justice . but its disappearing in hk now . the one country two system is not enforced in a proper way

China does not respect any treaty and agreement and declaration it has signed. China is such a shameful nation.

Demanding the white imperialist colonialists ensure China sticks to the agreement is this an episode of Black Mirror?
They also Intentionally humiliate HongKongers in front of pro-ccp supporters.

China needs to honor the Sino-British join declaration. Hope Britain can help Hong Kong.

StandWithHongKong
YipSusanna We have lost a lot
The Sino-British Joint Declaration is still in effect. However, the CCP, is eager to take over HK and violates the declaration by claiming the Declaration 'invalid'. The CCP never keeps its promises StandWithHongKong
Hong Kong people tried their best to fight for the demands. However, it was tough and got many injuries. Therefore, we need helps from other countries.
ManKammy Then-Prime Minister M.Thatcher knew a mechanism was needed to protect HK under communism. Now that the declaration’s violated, HK is under whiteterror & HumanitarianCrisis HKers humbly pleade UK to exercise its legitimate role & responsibility to keep its promise by helping HK
Hk radicals must be held accountable. White rule must end !
The majority of HK ppl object the HK police brutality. However, hkpolicebrutality going further and many suspected suicides happening everyday. The Sino-British Joint Declaration of the high degree of autonomy promises were broken clearly. HK need Int'l help, please help.
It’s like an ant asking the mouse to yell at the cat!
The Sino-British Joint Declaration shows that chinese communist party is a liar and is not trust wealthy at all!!! StandwithHK
StandwHKalice_ The Sino-British Joint Declaration still works. China needs to be reminded constantly
On yes and the HK people are shouting “1 country 2 systems is dead”, “Queen save Hong Kong”, “Free Hong Kong” and “We are British” etc.
Yes, China needs to be reminded of the agreement with the UK. No, they are just doing as the wish. Can never be trusted.
Sadly, the former colonial power is currently struggling to maintain its own democracy, let alone anyone else's.
