hello everyone this is LO Kin-hei this
morning a lot of people woke up in shock
because the Hong Kong police round up so
far I think 14 political activists who are
well-known and have name recognition in
Hong Kong
among those 14 arrested nine of them are
former legislators of the Hong Kong
Legislative Council the 14 people
included Martin Lee the human rights
and democracy fighters in Hong Kong for years
a former Legislative Council member and
senior counsel who is ranked 1st the
most senior in Hong Kong Jimmy Lai the
owner of Apple Daily the only
pro-democracy media in Hong Kong
Albert Ho a former legislator and a
former chairman of the Hong Kong
Alliance which organized the June 4th
vigil every year Longhair Leung a former
legislator and an activist for long years
Lee Cheuk Yan also a former legislator
and a labor activist and Au Nok Hin the
most recent former legislator who has
been arrested for three times already
recently he's waiting for sentence in
next week Avery Ng Figo Chan and
Raphael Wong all of them are members of
the League of Social Democrats and
they've been so devoted in Hong Kong
pro-democracy campaign for years
Avery Ng & Raphael Wong served some sentence back
then when the Hong Kong protests started
and when they are free from jail they
come out to protest with all the Hong
Kong people Yeung Sum
former legislator and he was
arrested together with Jimmy Lai and Lee Cheuk Yan
I think two months ago
Margaret Ng a former legislator and a
barrister who is highly recognized as
one of the best in Hong Kong
Richard Tsoi vice chairperson of the
Hong Kong Alliance Cyd Ho former
legislator and Sin Chung Kai former
legislator and the current chairman of
the Kwai Tsing District Council these 14
arrests this kind of police round up is
not a coincidence few days ago when Hong
Kong Macau office criticized the
legislators the legislative procedures
the functioning of the Legislative
Council in Hong Kong and - two or three
days ago when they say article 23 the
national security legislation is very
urgent to be implemented in Hong Kong
and to be legislated in Hong Kong and to
yesterday when the Chinese Liaison
Office said they're not bound by article
22 of the Hong Kong Basic Law
there are above the Hong Kong Basic Law
because they are not the
subordinate of the central government
they are the central government the
central government gave the authority to
them to represent the central government
so they are not bound by the article 22
to the round up of pro-democracy figures
these are not coincidences
this is absolutely scripted and
planned well-planned by the Beijing
government to scare off Hong Kong people
and to deter Hong Kong people from
exercising our freedom of expression
and I believe this is also their
attempts to try to stop the
pro-democracy side from winning the
majority in the Legislative Council in
the coming September so everybody
watching this video
Hong Kong people will not be scared by
these kinds of intimidations
we will stand firm and will will stand our
ground we will protect our city with
everything we have because this is the
city we love and this is how Hong Kong
should be Hong Kong should not be a
police state like now
the Hong Kong police the Hong Kong government and the Beijing government
are those who are endangering
the survival of Hong Kong as an
international city but Hong Kong people
will defend to the end because this is
our city and I hope everyone who are
watching this video to share this
message to the world and fight with the
Hong Kong people and tell your local
politicians to voice their support to
the Hong Kong people and to the Hong Kong
protests because once again this is not
just a fight in Hong Kong and it is not
just a fight about Hong Kong it is a
fight between a growing totalitarian
regime the Communist Party the Chinese
Communist Party challenging the
democratic free world Hong Kong is the
frontline we are caught between the west
and the Chinese Communist Party so
please ask your local politician to
voice their support to Hong Kong people
because this is a fight for everybody
who want democracy and freedom in the
world thank you
