Some Hong Kong people held a "We are all Zheng Wenjie solidarity rally" at about 7:30 tonight (29th) outside the British Consulate General in Hong Kong. No "no objection notice" was issued by the police at the scene of "Hong Kong 01" Live.

[20:00] Nick Heath, the Deputy Consul General of the British Consulate in Hong Kong, came out to receive the letter. The rallyers shouted slogans such as "Return to Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times", "We are all Simon" (We are all Zheng Wenjie).
[19:40] The rally spokesman Dawn said that the main support was Zheng Wenjie. She criticized the British for insufficient support for Zheng Wenjie and only granted a two-year work visa, which was not enough to protect Zheng and his family.
Dawn said that Britain is a signatory of the Sino-British Joint Declaration and that Hong Kong has a large number of citizens in the UK. The UK should propose more measures to protect Hong Kong people, including the United States, which has enacted global Magnitsky human rights accountability laws and sanctioned Hong Kong officials.
