Restrictions on umbrellas at an Adelaide festival and at a Hong Kong stall in Brisbane has migrants worried about speaking out. security foriegnaffairs

, is not an isolated one. Another Hong Kong market stall selling crafts at Brisbane Riverside Markets has been moved away from the main thoroughfare after almost 10 months.

“Pro-Beijing people were coming to our stall, shouting and arguing with us and then complaining to the organiser of the market,” said Hong Kong stall host Jacob, who asked only to be referred to by his first name because of concerns for the safety of his family in Hong Kong.

The market incidents are minor compared to the censorship and political purges underway in Hong Kong but the impact on freedom of expression almost 6000 kilometres away in Australia shows how insidious the laws have become. “The recent targeting of local human rights and trade union groups signals an intensification of the authorities’ campaign to rid the city of all dissenting voices,” she said. “It is increasingly difficult for us to keep operating in such an unstable environment.“
