Hong Kong's last standing protesters testing Beijing’s security law - BBC Newsnight 

its really sad to see the media has stopped covering this protest

Just to make things clear. The national security law is not a law that went through normal procedures like through the Legco. It is a law imposed upon us by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress. Whether the law reflects the collective will of Hong Kong is cast into doubt.

Hong Kongers are coming to Singapore 🇸🇬 to get further from the repressive Chinese regime, with pros: - bunch of money, - unsympathetic attitude towards the Chinese regime, and cons: - skyrocketing house prices, - unaffordability for local Singaporeans.

These pains never go away, as a hongkoner😢😢😢

They are brave against their oppression.

So brave... You are my heroes! Love from Britain

My heart aches 🥲 God bless these brave people who probably won't see the fruits of the tree they are planting but they are brave and selfless enough to do it. Hope when freedom finally comes, those who are lucky enough to enjoy it will never forget people like these who made it happen through years of brave fights and struggles in the darkness. People in the free world should never forget their freedom was earned by tens of thousands of lives and still needs to be protected sometimes at the cost of brave men and women.

I’m in my 30s and I remember seeing Bull protesting on TV ever since I was a little kid - he’s a fighter and dreamer. Ironically he’s also a patriot; he led Hong Kong’s anti-Japan protests to support Chinese sovereignty of Senkaku/Diaoyutai. We must support him along with all 47 protesters in jail

This Is The Psychology Of Intimidation.

Terrible... what a nightmare. This protestors are true heroes.

I’m moved by these brave Hong Kong people. The people who were born in CCP’s land never have real human rights, speech freedom, and the vote rights…

May the goddess(es) protect and bless these courageous people.

Stay strong Hong Kong❤

world please support Hongkongers :(

Hk will never be the same, it’s so depressing here now

Agreed! The human rights of living peacefully and affluently prioritize everything.

There’s no law against protesting, there is however a law which states that vandalism is a crime

Say no to Communism!

That's why Don't trust China say "one country two systems", and Don't let Taiwan become like this!

God bless all those who really love freedom and democracy！

Miss the Hong Kong before 97😢

I admire your courage. Love from Australia.

If people have money, they have already fled Hong Kong

Liberate Hong Kong! Revolution of our times! Hong Kong independence is the only way!

Thank you BBC❤ I’m 香港人💪🏻

God bless these brave people!

We all be silenced 😢

The Chief Executive of Macau just visited Portugal and received warm welcome. I wonder when will John Lee visit England.

1 country 2 systems?. NOT.

Thank you so much for covering the protests in Hong Kong. I have respect for law, however this law is written by people with the purpose to silence and intimidate activists or protestors. It is not one to protect its people.

Meanwhile indigenous Australians are still occupied by the British.

btw thanks to freedom expression in hongkong 2019, now western people can learn in paris today 😁😁😁

Welcome to the UK and show people here how to fight with the govt 😂

Whenever I see Taiwan I always feel it's fate would be like Hong Kong. I hope west won't abandon it like HK.

HK have freedom as good as many Western countries. But it have restrictions as other countries.

If only they'd win...

So much for revolution, the hong Kong people are cowering in silent now.

Rather than protesting, start an insurgency.

It’s an irony the reporter is claiming HK becoming an authoritarian state while playing video evidence of police clearing ways for the anti-government protesters to protest.😂😂

*Heres my unpopular opinion as a hong konger* Tbh as a hong konger myself, it doesnt matters to me at all cus i feel like i still have freedom, democracy and i can play video games all day if i want to. I just dont get the point why the other hong kongers on the internet saying that hong kong has lost its freedom and democracy, most of them literally mentioned that they left hong kong and say bad things about hong kong. They literally have the freedom to leave the city and freedom to protest. like seriously tho, they said hong kong police arrested random people but the actual reason why protesters got arrested is because they destroyed a lot of things, police even gave them warning and time to stop before police start to arrest them. Some of u might think “police attacked some random citizens, why do u still support the hong kong police?”. Well its because the police had warned the citizens to not go to protest area but some citizens didnt know which led to misunderstand and the police attacked them. But it didnt happened a lot of times. Protesters also did attacked some citizens who support their country. Hurted the police who were trying to stop the violence of the protesters. Like imagine how many people were hurt physically and mentally by the protester’s violence. The hong kong government did have the choice to implement the national security law or not. So it wasnt the chinese government fault at all and chinese government never forced hong kong to add the national security law.

For me and Hong Kong: most precious blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world.

Those former elitist leaders who also on the frontline of protest in the last two decades never dare to say a word to the Peking government now, not to say any protest at all. One amongst them quickly withdrew and cuts any links fron the movement just before the day of the NSL took it's full effects was a clear sign of how egoistic they are. Posting anything about his high life and anything except mentioning politics is a proof of how modern cynical they are. What a shame for those hk's petty bourgeoisie to appeal for help from Trump to render them a democracy. The last hope for any real struggle against the master in this city is, seemingly, the social democrats.

What do you expect when you keep dictator in power

Few in HK paid any attention. It only got BBC reporters excited

I was so happy the day when NSL was announced and became effective. Hk has a future only when these thugs are rooted out

Hong Kong kicked out it's colonial opium dealing oppressors 25 years ago. Hong Kong to Kowloon is 9km. New Zealand's North Island to South Island is 24km. How close does a country need to be one country?

No see the union jack ?

I don't understand who they speak English to🤣🤣🤣

HK want to ship all those protester to UK, hope UK have national security in place 🤣🤣🤣

Careful...John Lee is watching !😮

This is a remnant legacy left behind from England who bullied China when it was weak in the 19th century. No amount of foreign instigations can creat serious chaos or revert Hong Kong to England. England was strong militarily after Industrial Revolution, hence she conquered almost half of the world. But she had been too over confident, even hailed that the White was a superior race, others were coloured and coloured peopled were inferior to the White. Now with high inflation and 0 or negative economic growth for 2023, English people are suffering tremendously from the foolishness of their gullible & arrogant politicians.

HK is so peaceful now, less US funding, less riots.

This is to prove that Hong Kong can still march freely under the National Security Law, right? or ...😊

There were Chinese nationalists on a video game openly talking about moving to Hong Kong to sway public opinion. Is the purpose of this to have them elect Chinese loyal politicians to Hong Kong's offices?

Brave BBC reporters

certain consequences will come when we violate the law? that 47 unconvicted social activist and politicans which in the prison for years, what are they? Unconvicted prisoners?

UN should be condemned and then dissolve all together.

Please help those protester! Beijing-imposed security law is gonna get them all arrested. The British government should bring those brave people back to the democratic British land.

Free hon Kong

The lady in this video was arrested last month for possession of an LED candle.. Someone else was detained for having an image of a candle on their mobile phone From the kocal newspaper the HK Standard The leader of the opposition League of Social Democrats party was detained on Sunday, the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square crackdown. Chan Po-ying, a veteran pro-democracy activist who heads the opposition party, was holding a small LED candle -- a common sight in vigils commemorating June 4, 1989 -- and two flowers at Police immediately grabbed her and hauled her to a van. It was not known what crime she was suspected of committing.

Now it seems that one country, two systems is not suitable for Hong Kong. It is hoped that the central government can take back Hong Kong's governing power in 2047. A country can have only one system.

I want to support them

We need to suppo

Welcome to the Chinese McCarthyism.

joint declaration

These brave protesters really have balls. Where were they when the british colonial master was in charge, installing governors after governors without ask any HKer' opinions? Why they were not on the street demand voting? Very strange.

Stand up for freedom

One day kids will learn about this in their history class and about other wars and think what a messy generation we were. Wouldn't be the first, but war after war...smh

These people will be in jail very soon

They should emigrate to Britain. HK is not meant for Britain tool to milk HK high cash reserve.

Go UK. Over there they allow you to vote.

Love 😘❤️🔥💎🦁🤟

The should make my century free

GOD will always be on the right side even though it takes a long time. keep strong Hong Kong people 💪💪💝 yanne yan

Stand up to tyranny.

POWA too da PEE POW !!!! 😂

In many western countries, yes, you can vote, but no one really care. For those who are doing this movement, do you really have a better plan for people in Hong Kong?

If you are not satisfied, you can immigrate and don't mess with Hong Kong. Hong Kong is already very free. Is universal suffrage really that good? It is not necessarily that if the other people who are elected by a group of people with biased political stances will also object if they are dissatisfied, if I say these words, it is not to change anything, because you will never wake up people who pretend to be to sleep.

Let us take a look of what Thatcher said in 1984: Britain and China share a continuing responsibility to maintain the conditions within which the people of Hong Kong can realize this goal. We have laid the foundation in this solemn international agreement. We have created in the Sino-British Joint Liaison Group, a forum for cooperation over its implementation. We have demonstrated the strength of our commitment to it today by the signature that you, Zhao ZiyangMr. Premier, and I, have set upon it, and I am heartened by the assurance which your Government has repeatedly given that the arrangements for Hong Kong contained in the Agreement are not measures of expediency; they are long-term policies which will be incorporated in the basic law for Hong Kong and preserved intact for fifty years from 1997.

free hongkong

I will help you, you have my words from Myanmar.

bbc 你咪再搞香港啦

Hahaha who can do anything with China 😂😂😂. They have all power from economic to millitary

They will lose

人这么少？

天真无邪的一群

Why make him hold up the sign...was that worth risking his safety 😑

真搞笑,政府有不让这帮人干什么了吗??

…… …..

😮😮😮😮😮😮

Bad or bias report. No background and incorrect information.

hard to believe Hong Kong was colonial ruled by UK

Get your BNOs & run!

握着手里的饭碗，放下就开始骂娘

Homeless people are the true heroes of our time. Homeless people are not to be blamed for crime and this is why. You can become homeless for many reasons including flood, fire, earthquakes and world epidemics. You can also become homeless because the company you work for moves to another state. Once you become homeless you have to fend for yourself against drug dealers, murderers, and bullies. In some states you get criminalized for homelessness (Tennessee and New York) and can be sent to a mental hospital or prison for committing a Homeless felony (homeless camping). Homeless people are also tortured beyond belief. The law denies them sleep and the human right to empty their bowels which is not under human control. Over time it results in the worst self-esteem problems you can imagine. Your body and feelings start blaming who you are for living and smelling like human waste. The Constitution does not protect homeless people against the ills of society, greed can go free homelessness cannot. To be hated in the law when you have done nothing wrong not only kills God it is a psychological tombstone that destroys natural feelings with mother nature. Dying without hope and being tortured while alive is what makes homelessness the heroes of our time. Homeless people are the true victims of a society that puts money over God. Even in slavery people will take care of their possessions. Nobody owns homelessness except for a belief system that says people can go expendable believing that greed is good and should stay protected at all costs. Even churches are in on the act buying airplanes with the money they make selling the spirit of Jesus. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jJvCx0aZutk.html

Non wonder I didn't see Winnie the Pooh at hk Disneyland!

Clearly there’s no cost of living crisis like what’s happening in Uk and their people have free time.

One question: why doesn't BBC News show us the silent majority of Honggongers who stand firmly against these so-called protestors?

clown😂
