[Hong Kong 18th Reuters]-Multiple anti-government protests are scheduled for this weekend in Hong Kong. On the 18th, a “human chain” will be created on the main lines of the subway, and on the 20th, a demonstration march will be held in search of democratization.
In Hong Kong, two weeks ago, Executive Secretary Carrie Lam enacted the Emergency Situation Ordinance (Emergency Ordinance) and enacted the “Unmasked Mask Act”. The aim was to calm down protests, but protests intensified.
The situation has been relatively calm for the past few days, and no street protests have been carried out, but on the 16th, prominent human rights activist Jimmy Sham was attacked. Democrats accuse the goal of threatening demonstrators.
On the night of the 18th, demonstrators will make a human chain in front of subway stations in the office district, shopping district, Kowloon Peninsula, and Shinkai district.
The democratic organization “Private Human Rights Line”, represented by Mr. Siam, has also called for a march in Kowloon on the 20th. Police authorities have announced that they will not allow demonstrations on March 18.
This week, Secretary Ringo announced measures to resolve the housing shortage that contributed to the public's dissatisfaction, but the demonstrators showed their intention to continue protests until the “5 major requirements” were met. Yes.
