Thousands of protestors singingΒ βDo You Hear The People Singβ in a Hong Kong international airport. This is part of a 3-day sit-in and is only one example of the many marches, rallies, and sit-ins that are occurring daily.
The people of Hong Kong are fighting. Please do not let their voices go unheard around the world.
Hong Kongβs huge protests, explained by Vox.
Just in case someone wonders what theyβre protesting against.
This is happening RIGHT NOW in Hong Kong. It is August, 2019, and they are fighting for their freedom being taken away from the totalitarian government of China.
The government and pro-china supporters are trying to spin the whole story that we are fighting for Hong Kong Independence. Yes we are protesting against the Chinese and Hong Kong government but we are fighting against the Extradition Bills. Our goals have always been the same as beginning:
1. Complete withdrawal of the Extradition Bills
2. Implementation of Dual Universal Suffrage in Hong Kong
3. Retraction of the characterisations of the protest on 12 June 2019 as βriotsβ
4. Establishment of an independent investigation committee chaired by retired judges to investigate the policeβs actions
5. The Department of Justice maintains its political neutrality and not conduct political prosecutions
There were also tourists complaining how we should go protest on streets instead of airport. We TRIED that, we HAVE BEEN protesting on streets, and we got teargased, police beating us, mass arrest. The whole point of taking the protest to airport is to raise international awareness to our situation, less chance of police brutality because we will be under international spotlight, and to affect the ECONOMY, which is the only way that will get OUR government to respond.
