'It's not the end of the fight'

Three pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been sentenced to serve jail time for their involvement in demonstrations against the Chinese Communist Party's increasing attempts to assume total control over the once-autonomous territory last year.

 

POLL: What are you most worried about?

What happened?

Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow, and Ivan Lam were found guilty of organizing and taking part in the mass protests near police headquarters last June, the BBC reported Wednesday. The protests kicked off a movement for freedom in Hong Kong that garnered international attention and has continued for more than a year.

 

Wong received a sentence of 13.5 months in jail, while Chow and Lam were sentenced to 10 and 7 months, respectively. The activists had been held in police custody prior to the sentencing, with Wong under solitary confinement, the British outlet noted.

 

Magistrate Wong Sze-lai argued that "immediate imprisonment [was] the only appropriate option" for the defendants after they "called on protesters to besiege the headquarters and chanted slogans that undermine the police force."

According to reports, Chow burst into tears after the verdict was read, while Wong shouted "the days ahead will be tough but we will hang in there" as he was led away by authorities.

 

In further remarks posted on Twitter by his lawyers, Wong said, "It's not the end of the fight โ€ฆ we're now joining the battle in prison along with many brave protestors, less visible yet essential in the fight for democracy and freedom for HK."

baker, plz add:

>>17331, >>17337, >>17340 GAB owner Andrew Torba's reply to Business Insider author prepping a hit piece on "QAnon"

 

This is historic - over 2500 English language hit pieces on Q / Q-movement and finally a patriot has the opportunity to reply with a cogent, well-articulated response to the usual baseless charges calling Q patriots conspiracy theorists, white supremicists and domestic terrorists (based on that fukken factless Yahoo article from July 2019).
