Even protesters listen to citizens' voice and remove blockade to prevent the government stop the district Council election, what did the government do? It has been five months and the authorities did nothing on it. They even tried to suppress our voices.What a shame.

'it is you who told me that peaceful marches do not work'

Please revoke their (inclde their family) other national passport ! They should stay in China🥰 after they betray HongKonger. HongKong

We the people have been striving to make peace and start negotiations, but the government just turn their back on opportunities to stop the chaos and rely the Police and their violence to solve political crisis.

Keep away from these black rioter.Hunting and blocking for peaceful Hong Kongers to restore their normal life Terriorist

They are protesters. They are students and kids. What forces them to come out for protest? It’s the government keep on ignoring their demands for 6 months and even let HKPoliceTerrorists turn CUHK into a war.

Those ones who negotiated with the government are spies. HongKong is at WAR and we do not need a regional council election which will not help the situation. We need universal suffrage.

the hk government is trying to postpone or even cancel elections 'due to traffic', but one can only vote in your own district sooooo what traffic u talking about i literally can walk 7minutes and arrive at the voting station

Thankyou the Guardian🙏🙏🙏

HKGov was given a chance to make sure the district council election will be held on 24 nov and yet they refused Due to the worry that poll will be a landslide to anti gov. Not suprise to the decision made by a totalitarism regime that rule by absolute power.

We show our goodwill to start a dialogue, but Matthew Cheung, Chief Secretary of Administration, turned us down and said HK gov would not deal with protesters Isn't it obvious that HK gov care more about the instructions of CCP than the livehood of people? HongKong SOSHK

HongKongProtesters dont mean to bring inconvenience. The government should take up the responsibility to listen to the people, which they failed to do so over the past 5 months, if they really want to solve this dispute.

HKprotesters are indeed peaceful and reasonable, if you recall the 2 million rally five months ago. It’s the government and the terrorist HKPolice who ignore our legitimate five demands and suppress us through HKPoliceBrutality. The protestors are just defending our home!

We all know that the chaos in these couple days were Carrie Lam's plan to call off district council election and introduce Basic Law23. SOSHK HongKongProtest StandWithHongKong PoliceBrutality

I don’t think they need to do this for exchange the election proceed, as that is what the Hong Kong government should do. However, I do appreciate that the protesters keep there promise, life highway blockade. 👏🏻👏🏻

This government is completely unethical.

The reason why HongKongProtests have escalated is because 1) the government doesn’t respond to our demands completely 2) they always lie in front of the press and slander the protesters.
