when hong kong was still a british colony. there s no doubt the law is changing hong kong. ah nam was once part of the student protest movement. translation: most of our generation - is going through this. they are compelled to, or are planning to, leave their homes. many of my friends in hong kong are either arrested or have been persecuted with political cases. many others have left hong kong due to the national security law and other reasons. despite more than 100 arrests since the law was introduced, some are determined to continue speaking out. herbert chow s shop sells protest memorabilia. it was raided by the national security police. instead of trying to use the national security law as a law to protect the national security of china in hong kong, and if they decided to use it as a weapon to silence people, and they arrest you, what can i say? what can i do? i m not going to change the way

HONG KONG, June 29 (Reuters) - As documentary filmmaker Kiwi Chow walked through a pedestrian tunnel in Hong Kong on a recent day, he spotted a team of cleaners scraping off glue left by illegal ads and scrubbing the walls clean with mops.
It reminded him of the day he became an activist during the pro-democracy protests that galvanised this Chinese-ruled city in 2019. Back then, he had gathered with his young son and some friends to cover another tunnel wall with Post-it notes scribbled with political messages and drawings.
Strangers joined in. I was very happy. It was the first time I was an organiser, he said.

A court in Hong Kong on Thursday handed jail terms to jailed democracy activist Joshua Wong and three opposition members of the city s District Council for attending a vigil commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen massacre.
Wong was sentenced to 10 months imprisonment, while district councilor Lester Shum was jailed for six months. Fellow councilors Tiffany Yuen and Jannelle Leung were each handed four-month sentence.
All four had pleaded guilty to taking part in last year s candlelight vigil, which was attended by thousands of people in Victoria Park despite a ban by the authorities, ostensibly to prevent the transmission of coronavirus.
District Court judge Stanley Chan said he wouldn t consider a non-custodial sentence, as none of the defendants had shown sincere remorse.
