A pro-democracy supporter is detained by riot police during an anti-government rally on May 24, 2020 in Hong Kong, China.Hong Kong police fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse thousands who, in defiance of curbs imposed to contain the coronavirus, gathered on Sunday to protest against Beijing’s plan to directly impose national security laws on the city.
The protest, the first since Beijing proposed the new laws on Thursday, had mostly died down by then – but the day’s events pose a fresh challenge to Beijing’s authority as it struggles to tame public opposition to its tightening grip over the city. “I am afraid of being arrested but I still need to come out and protest for the future of Hong Kong.”
That restriction, imposed to contain the spread of coronavirus, has kept protesters largely off the streets in recent months. China has dismissed foreign complaints as “meddling,” and said the proposed laws will not harm Hong Kong’s autonomy or investors.

This headline could have been from any day in the last year
Yessss go HKP
Instead of facing their own issues, ccp rather 'handle' the one who points out the issue. By breaching HK high degree of autonomy and enacting the so called national security law without legislative process, they just want to rationalize their wrongdoings. We will not compromise!

There are other things that need attention too.
Hongkongers are trying so hard to FightForFreedom although our situation is not optimistic Voluntary first-spiders are arrested today. Please StandWithHongKong
Tyranny takes away the remaining human rights and freedoms of the people, and police terrorists are their executioners. In order to protect their homeland, the people disregarded their own security, risked high risks of police violence and continued to fight on the streets😠🔥
CCP is going to enact the evil law through political oppression by force . Such situation is close to death of HK officially ! We will never surrender and fight till the end .......... Hong Kongers need international support .

HongKong government use police as their tool to make protestors feel scared and give up on protesting. Policebrutality has appeared from June 2019 and thousands of protestors were suffered from their violence.

But the liberals love the government and want to give up all their rights and privileges for “ the safety of Canadians “ 🥴

Beijing will not care about rule of law and autonomy of HK, that’s why they push NationalSecurityLaw. Hongkongers can only wait for the world’s sanction and U.S. to exercise HKHRDA, or/and to revoke HK Special Status. We will fight till the end, but Hong Kong is going to end.
Not only the riot police fire tear gas to protesters, they also steal a bottle of drinks from a store. I can't really distinguish them from thieves. PoliceBrutality
That is why we stand up against the security law. The authoritative government is curbing HK freedom of speech and assembly. The security law is just a tool to crackdown democractic movement.

China terminates HK autonomy by breaking agreements in Joint Declaration. Article 23 is most likely be legislated directly by CCP Gov. & oppression will be deepened sharply to HK ppl. UK is the most capable country to stop this as co-signer of JD.
Best advice from Hong Kong people: 1) Ban CCP🇨🇳 owned tech. firm and media 2) 🇨🇳🇭🇰Visa ban 3) Sanctions 🇨🇳🇭🇰officials & asset freezing 4) Stop 🇨🇳 💰 takeover local company and press 5) Don't trust 🇨🇳🇭🇰Government!!!!! 6) Boycott made in 🇨🇳
Hongkongers are voicing our angers towards CCP interventions of HongKing affairs. The protest started to be violent because of the police
Hong Kong Gov’t wanna make an illusion that majority(?) support NationalSecurityLaw, Hong Kong people tell the truth by foot, majority oppose the law! We oppose China distort the constitution to make the law on Hong Kong illegally!!

This is a tough situation but if the US intervenes then it will get worse.
PoliceBrutality is expected in today’s rally. I am afraid the devil HongKongPolice will be given more power to deal with the HongKong civilians when NationalSecueityLaw imposed. Youths or freedom fighters will be targeted. Somehow like the situation in cultural revolution.
Short list of people prosecuted under China's own national security law: - Liu Xiaobo (inciting subversion, 11 years) - Ilham Tohti (separatism, life sentence) - Wu Gan (subversion, 8 years) - Wang Quanzhang (subversion, 4.5 years) - Lee Ming-che (subversion, 5 years)

We need to start asking those in charge ,if most Covid cases are mild/assymptomatic and majority of deaths are in care homes, why all the extra public health measures, social distancing , ppe and vaccine propaganda? Ask about herd and natural immunity vs vaccine immunity?
