This is a long this is a long fight and i agree with you no so we cannot be replicable we can not need to confront them face to face because we are just not get it and they are high will so we can just with this we have to be very frank civil a statement in freedom also by agnes chao probably the female figure head of hong kongs prodemocracy movement no stranger to police detentions and holding her bail notice she spoke of her experience this time. To be honest the arrest happened so suddenly i was mentally unprepared for it its been 8 years since i joined the Democratization Movement in hong kong ive been arrested 4 times before but honestly this time i was the most scared and it was the hardest. The new security law punishes anything china considers subversion or terrorism in hong kong supporters say it will bring stability after months of antigovernment protests critics say it crushes hong kongs freedoms. For more lets speak of the Democratic Fund and feed the kong who joins me now from hong kong with more f. E. B. A. You were covering the police raids on monday that led to those arrests what is the mood today amongst prodemocracy supporters in hong kong. On the those senior line as activists arrested on monday and now or released but we have know that they are only free on bail so which new south already didnt believe them uncomfortable the way the investigation is underway so the detainment and also the arrest in any other session operation on monday the same a Chilling Effect across the city specially to activists who. Consider themselves to consider themselves the sunlight high risk. Group by so they fear that i may be the next one to be a rat but we like citizens and especially a prodemocracy movement support us and post have their say i using to find a way to pull support and also consent by to us the latest situation in hong kong with what some call people are calling for each other as a by escalating use paper like the hot cup regularly every patient show their support and all we also see that there are many podium office yoko posts as merchandise and and and the shops they place a 3rd of men on absolutely newspaper does show support to junior high and out of asses as i say we have to take a look at some of 6 ounces like this is saying the support and this is saying that we can use money to buy goods but we dont but we tend to use money to buy freedom so when there are many more Something Like on the newspapers show that support life from now they will all walks of life. You are talking about socalled hard news groups other to full democracy figures oh my dearest and a lot of them have in fact fled the city to escape the for reasons of the new sokoto prominent amongst them and if enough for example who has fled to the u. K. I wonder if the prodemocracy movement in the city now stands weakened. But definitely there are a lot of ways in that we can see it posthaste especially. Because off the newly elected National Security law people feel way too risky to take to the streets again as they could be easily tied to fed on the street by charges relating to less soco of the validation of National Security and also hong kong is still imposing a serious opposite sex since we got english social distancing rules and to bend public gatherings so its pretty hostile or like people at local level together on the state t. V. Kong in hong kong thank you so much for that. Before this new security law was implemented hong kongs prodemocracy activists were facing a challenge from a different law one related to rioting which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years some 600 protesters were charged with that last year during antigovernment protests among them the couple featured in this next report they were eventually put out of the charge but not before it had impacted their lives in profound ways. This couple has gone through the toughest challenges and they are now ready to rebuild their lives. But just a month ago their fate as a couple was very uncertain henry tong and elaine tov worked as fitness coaches a virgin and hong kong their dream career and life. Until last year when Police Arrested the couple at a prodemocracy protest and charged them with rioting they thought they were going to jail for potentially up to 10 years. Than that what me the most is i couldnt see my dog if im sent to jail and i couldnt see him if we were both put into jail we couldnt see each other anymore. We can only write letters to each other. Henry made a photo book for elaine so she could always remember their story if they were to be separated by prison boss it holds a lot of precious memories including their wedding last year celebrated just 4 days after the couple was released from jail. It casts a shadow over the happy day that the couple says they dont regret joining the protests might say oh its no responsibility to speak out for injustice and for the future when i look back at my life what made me proud i really think that even though i was arrested im still proud. Just dont think that you. Can be in the lane project the rioting charge they say they were providing 1st aid to people who had been tear gassed by police. On the day after verdict relief after a long and emotionally draining court process. Braced a sigh of relief as our emotions almost collapsed before the verdict we were really happy when the judge announced we were acquitted of the our what i thought i saw. A couple of grateful that theyll be able to Stay Together but several 100 others who are still awaiting their verdict are going through similar Emotional Turmoil hoping theyll get unhappy and like henry and elaine.

Prominent so korean women that have come forward to report Sexual Harassment and sexual crimes have often faced a backlash here their careers have suffered and theyve endured personal attacks both online and offline for manti feminists the public and the media.
