Rejected petition Urge the government to support HK and honour the Sino-British Joint Declaration
Protesters in Hong Kong are protesting and resisting against police brutality after an extradition bill was proposed, which would allow political dissidents to be extradited to china and face trial under the Chinese justice system, which is under political control, just like the state media.
More details
protesters have met a brutal crackdown, where police started using excessive force, alongside all manners of subterfuge, including:
•Widespread censorship and misinformation using state media
•Police officers dressed as protesters and making arrests
•Tear gas, bean bag rifles, hospitalisation by police
•Extradition to China
•Large scale social media manipulation using automated profiles
•Use of plain clothed thugs to attack protesters with bladed weapons
•Potential military lethal crackdown
