Democrats criticize political prosecutions
Chen Haohuan questioned that the purpose of this "political prosecution" is to silence everyone and dare not participate in politics anymore, but he hopes that the public can continue to speak up, not to make people in prisons and courts feel lonely, and he does not want Hong Kong to have only voices supporting suppression. .
He emphasized that no matter what the result is, if someone wants to sit in prison and rest, others will fill their seats.
Democratic Party Chairman Law Kin-hee criticized this as a "political prosecution," emphasizing that the democrats have used primary elections for decades, but today they are accused of breaking the law.
He questioned whether the powers conferred by the Basic Law cannot be done, and whether even impeaching the capital is illegal.
He also pointed out that it is not the first time and it will not be the last time that an absurd prosecution has been committed in an era of absurdity, saying that no matter how severe the suppression is, he hopes that everyone will continue to express their opinions in any way.
The Civic Party executive committee member Huang Wenxuan said that this prosecution is "shameless, ridiculous and absurd", but she hopes that everyone will stick to their ideas and that every Hong Kong person will continue to work hard in their respective positions.
