Answers. And good to have you with us hong kong as leader kerry has defended the controversial new security law that china imposed on the city last week she said it would make hong kong safer by preventing pilot protests she also warned citizens not to break the law. And. Implement this law and i for one. Not. All crossing the red line because the consequences are breaching this law. Well for more lets go straight over to joshua wont he is a prominent voice in hong kongs prodemocracy movement and joins us from there mr wont carry is warning people she describes as radicals of serious consequences if they break the new law theres a scary shooting if its generated by beijing and its not only targeting activists even ordinary citizens of foreigners or expire in hong kong by also be the prime pocket or beijing to silence their wants and we strongly aware its not a Political Rights its always about the free flow of information and the free flow of capital being threatened by law is temperament call ok but what about you because youre a prominent face of the prodemocracy movement to many people are watching and wondering how this affects you have you received any threats since this law was imposed with the with the race of life sentencing were to uncertainty to extradite from china race all week x. And all we face of being sent to blackout in Mainland ChinaNational Security law is that used for beijing to erode that one country 2 system to be one country one system but just like modern 100000 hong kong has talked with the street on july 1st even holist banda rally we still continue our fight in local. In hong kong at the scene we also are our friends and our sick folks local support ok but i was wondering about threats to you have you received any threats i was that i received threats from roll beijing camp since last summer during the end extradition be able to that but the french conti feet as Even Stronger determination your fellow activists nathan law he fled hong kong last week do you intend to stay. I will continue to fight until the last minute and its also important to see for local and Global Support at the same time i will continue to campaign in the local level and theyve been loyal will be responsible for continued the global south during the campaign and we wish to let the was the paulus being hurt in the world does that mean youre planning to stay in hong kong then because i believe youre facing charges there is that correct. With the political prosecution i just faced the court trial 24 hours ago and i still need to go to court on 5th of august and thats also implied how beijing continued to call the haass arrest and political prosecution is that he would call receptive millions population almost 10000 people who arrest that since last summer and 1600 of us were prosecuted including be bought in such a pure battle we still never give up and on the upcoming primary election on this weekend we have to set a clear signal to beijing kowtow to the communist regime is not an option for us do you think has a point in saying that new security measures are needed in hong kong to avoid the massive and sometimes violent disruptions weve seen in the past or difficult crisis most often because system reform escalating the situation and even allowing police to call the house will run and override on common law system because by the mainland rule by a hotline. I guess thats not the way out no matter what happened was they will continue to fight for freedom and also we wish the world to know that how the race of hong kong people and expat live in the hall might be extradited to china and we might not be serving joe sentence in hong kong and more and we might be to suffer the south and us in beijing thats the fret generated by beijing live sentencing is not the things that we have imagined by activists in the previous day but thats not great is the threat generate by the communist 40 s ok the prodemocracy group you used to lead. Thats been disbanded right as the security law the new security of always being a. Beijing one i dont want to quit my colleague mc made life in race even i did this face the risk of life sentencing is dozens means that some of more local effort is made to face the same bastards but. We are not continue to run as the name of that persists though the activist group that me belongs to we still continue our fight in the local level and local level and we wish to have more global allies to spend is critical moment because time is quite plain in hong kong already mr one thank you very much for talking with us that was joshua wall an activist in hong kong right here.
