HONG KONG PRO-DEMOCRACY MARCH:

Au Nok-hin helped organize and lead the march:

Au described the freedom of assembly in Hong Kong as being under threat, pointing to the detention of a dozen pro-democracy activists for staging a rally during the just-concluded three-day visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping.

Another marcher said that he “continued to come out every year to remind people that the mainland government made promises about the city’s autonomy, but he said the political situation was getting worse.”

Beijing is violating the spirit and the letter of the autonomy agreement it made with Britain and Hong Kong.
