A pro-democracy supporter is detained by riot police during an anti-government rally on May 24, 2020 in Hong Kong, China.The familiar sight of Hong Kong streets drenched in tear gas, blocked by makeshift barricades and erupting into flames returned Sunday, but under a new cloud of uncertainty as Beijing pledged to quickly press into place a law that will extend its concept of justice to those who challenge Communist Party leadership.
But in a city where most people self-identify as “Hongkonger” rather than Chinese, the space to oppose that move has already diminished considerably. “Given the severity and urgency of the national security law, people will certainly want to return to the street,” said Avery Ng, a pro-democracy activist who is among a group of 15 recently arrested people that Chinese state media call “riot leaders.” But, he said, “I worry that many people cannot return to the street to protest without risking their personal safety.”
On Sunday, the Communist Party-backed Global Times called Hong Kong publishing tycoon Jimmy Lai a “traitor.” The paper cited Chinese experts who believe Mr. Lai, an outspoken democracy advocate, “cannot escape from the punishment of the national security law.” Canada, Australia and Britain on Friday issued a joint statement saying they are “deeply concerned” about the national security law. “Making such a law on Hong Kong’s behalf without the direct participation of its people, legislature or judiciary would clearly undermine the ‘one country, two systems’ principle under which Hong Kong is guaranteed a high degree of autonomy,” the statement said.

These thugs have no humanity and the people of Hong Kong want to return to the rule of law
The NationalSecurityLaw will become a knife placed on the neck of every HK person. The CCP hopes that the people of HK will become their slaves and lose their due freedom. You can only submit to tyranny or you will be punished with punishment. Today's Tibet is tomorrow's HK🗡️💀
China: this what it means to have it on board. Militaries repressing beautiful mind in the name of 'what'? CCP. Retarded scumbags who pretend to be respected.

It harms Hong Kong. It kills Hong Kong. Not allowing any opposing voices. Poisoning so-called ’extremists’. That's the usual practice of CCP. So never trust CCP.
China is not only depriving human right, it also being the source of the COVID-19 aka Wuhan virus. The evil CCP should pay for what they did.

Expelled journalists, arrested pro-dem activists, arbitrary arrests and assaults, suspected “suicides”... HK is under big threat, n when CCP is pushing NationalSecurityLegislation, we know they want to MUTE all of us, and eventually there will be a genocide like Uyhur and Tibet.

forcing Hong Kong to become China... so called one country two systems was just a joke, and then CCP would say that there is no opposing opinions cuz all the opposing opinions will be arrested by the riot government
