Now why you cannot tell me i. Will dig holes now ill hold and eyes ation to silence all of us of those which i will as a leader oh we will be jailed be in jail under a National Security. And of course we have to be prepare. Former student leader Nathan Newell was among the crowd in what was likely his last act of civil disobedience in hong kong. He fled the city shortly before the National Security bill came into effect. This so have those of the National Theatre the oyster eradication of the freedom of speech and freedom of Assembly Freedom of. We are the predominant hotheads of the government so actually we are aware read of all things. Under article 23 of hong kongs constitution the basic law the region has to enact National Security legislation. But when the government tried to do so in 2003 hundreds of thousands of Home Congress took to the streets fearing such a little would have wrote their freedoms. The bill was ultimately withdrawn no further attempt was made to reintroduce it even though proof beijing politicians have always controlled the Legislative Council they know das all people post that they dont want to suffer. Loss of reputation. And also the loss of. The chief executive to. They want to do it. Chief executive want to keep a good reputation but ill go people. In 2019 massive protests gripped hong kong following the introduction of yet another controversial bill ah there odd chief executive kerry lamb wanted to amend the citys extradition law. Opponents fear doing so would allow the Chinese Government to demand that hong kong handover activists with dissidents living in or even just passing through the city. The demonstrations continued even after the bill was withdrawn. Among other things protesters called for Electoral Reform and an investigation into alleged police brutality. Not everyone was peaceful. The unrest and alleged foreign interference was cited as key reasons for the National Security law we believe outside forces or resources supporting of movement which may aim at subverting the rule of china over hong kong or the rule of the Hong Kong Government so we have to pluck the low poll when you talk about outside forces is based on the belief all is there evidence i think the Central Government has evidence im not in the intelligence service. The Central Government approved the National Security law but day before the 23rd anniversary of hong kongs handover to china. Outside Hong Kong Government headquarters supporters celebrated. But virtually no one in the region had seen a draft of the legislation it would all be decided in beijing with no input from hong kongs Legislative Council hong kong National Security law can only be passed by the Hong Kong Legislature according to the the basic law which is a mini constitution what theyre doing is unconstitutional their responsibility and up. Of inec to such a law and implementing it is strictly a matter of the Central Government. The full text of the law was only released when it took effect one hour before the 1st of july. The new legislation criminalizes for acts secession subversion terrorism and collusion with a foreign country or external elements to endanger National Security. Penalties including life imprisonment. It allows chinese agents to operate openly in hong kong without being aunts or both to local authorities. Certain cases can be transferred to the mainland for trial this was exactly what protesters were trying to prevent when they opposed the extradition or Amendment Bill last year. According to oss accord 38. 00 the new legislation applies to anyone anywhere in the world. Yes this is a piece of war that is its broader than you know we would hope but then up again though this law needs to be enforced in hong kong and still have to go for the introducer and system. So that due process is still there they could have introduced mainland National Security to hong kong but in the pacific we drive a new law cater to hong kong and thus shows that how much they still want to system to work. At the ceremony marking the anniversary of the handover there was a similar message on your way home on my walk on luncheon laugh out i hope here in how fucked up saying happily more you know how long ago though its easy to see if the lot of my fat see it dont want young hell hell ill see my god how fucking yet. We invited the Chinese Government to explain this father and respond to criticisms of the new law but they didnt reply. For example. Out on the streets protesters were skeptical and defiant. And all that stuff to bury them bring it. Home and then. Theres a lot of the areas they lost the war thats what we were really loves like i dont know where where we might be but there must be. Something we need to overcome. Police arrested some 370 people that day 10 in connection with a new National Security goal. Every single one of us up taking far greater risk than before coming out. According to the noise so broad that you think wasnt my. Own or even ever that hatred was picked up among them and i can be seen as a threat to National Security. So that is why we are talking about.

S. Originate going to the territory we will continue to implement president from the directive to end Hong Kong Special status. Under that directive hong kong would no longer be treated differently from Mainland China or enjoy certain benefits that came with its special status. The new developments raised questions about the citys future as a Global Financial center. All these companies i fear because of china so this piece of law would not scare them if you dont want to do business with china as a mention in the long haul so they on to be here but they dont want to be caught in be you know in this whole tension between the u. S. And china for instance now we are on i think at the middle of this whole free war between the u. S. And china. For protesters the impact of the new legislation was quickly felt at this protest blank paper replaced posters and banners. Days earlier the government had employed that a populist slogan liberates hong kong revolution of all times was illegal under the National Security lol thats almost certain style house hold on then ill find out that the year for my. Us has done so much has hired and us all so high on top i fancy. But even this relatively low key indoor gathering was considered illegal. Several protesters were arrested if theyre reasonably Something Big that a police when they want to stop and search they can stop and search they have to for at. Least a police city. For hong kongs most famous activists the new low marks the beginning of a new reality. Being stalked by some of chinas aging all political and home owners force as the things that i think the magic. When on of all profit call before the cycle all the or the whole afternoon icons guarantee my personal safety. Especially when will be a cry china. Will be facing a life sentence what is that and the risk to you prosecute in china us of a kings court theyve got to wonder how glad i got hold of the people i got hired my good my dad john said just before the enactment of the National Security law joshua wont announce that he was leaving demo sisto the Political Organization he cofounded with nathan youll all if you dont pull your family out here and on the whole you get a lot of us a lot more until our guys hold people in the group disbanded soon after and youll fled hong kong. The high degree of autonomy once promised its just another blatant lie. He went on to testify before the Us House Foreign Affairs committee beijing times hong kong into just another chinese victory while trying to keep out the shout in doing so it helps to bring the illusion that the 50 to be autonomous thinker National Community must not become viewed on a new york good night there will be no the 2 had announced plans to run in the Legislative Council elections in september. Made how. Long stayed behind and continued his campaign prodemocratic him in hong kong wish to take my property in the hong kong Legislative Council legislative comes of hong kong would not be the place gator and beijing loyalist it should be the place good ring there was so people paid out i got paid to do that for you good although i thought that hong kongs prodemocracy camp has never controlled the Legislative Council despite winning the popular vote in every election since the handover election rules are stacked in. The favor of the approach beijing opponents. But this year they hope to change things by selecting the strongest candidates via an unofficial primary. It was the day before the votes and police had just raided offices belonging to organizers of the primary a Government Official had also warned that the poll might contravene the National Security law this is and families say to stop the people of hong kong expressing their the sense. They foolishly thing that with the extra colonial legislation people in hollywood just shut out. The tunnels exceeded the democratic camps hopes for 170000 people. By the end of the day some 600000. 00 homeowners had cost their votes. But 2 weeks later 12 prodemocracy candidates from running in the elections. Was one of them he was accused of among other things soliciting interference from foreign governments. Prior to the enactment of the National Security law long had urged governments in the us and europe to impose sanctions on china and various officials from the 18 pages affidavit provided by the electoral offices is said to be the evidence that they generated with misleading propaganda and interpretation of frost chemistry and nationals are free lol. But no matter what happens i think of hope and trust in hong kong people will still find a way out. When that hope was also disqualified for opposing a National Security law. Like joshua wong she demurred as a frontrunner following the primary elections. I dont know what will happen again tomorrow maybe ill get arrested tomorrow maybe my Campaign Members will be arrested. I do think the result of the democratic primaries is a shock to the communist party to raiding government they thought that by using a National Security law that the candidates will back down that the people will be very afraid to actually vote for the opposition camp. On the 31st of july the government postponed Legislative Council elections by a year citing risks linked to the covert 19 pandemic the decision to postpone the trainee trente alleged election has nothing to do with politics has nothing to do with the likely outcome of this round of elections on the 7th of august the United States announced that it was sanctioning kerry lamb and 10 other chinese and hong kong officials for undermining hong kongs autonomy.
