Avoid banning Hong Kong anti-government protesters from wearing masks

Thousands of people took to the streets to protest the ban on masks

Hong Kong, Ta. October 5, 2019, Saturday

In an attempt to calm the ongoing anti-government campaign for months, demonstrators were banned from wearing colonial-era emergency powders, the Hong Kong administration said.

Chief Executive Kerry Lam said the order was made under the Emergency Regulation Ordinance, authorizing any law to be made at risk or crisis to the people. This law was used for the first time in fifty-two years. '

We believe that the new law will have a strong impact on the elements of the storm by wearing masks and will also help the police in law enforcement, ”Lam said. However, he disclosed that this does not mean that the government has filed an emergency. 'Although we announce this emergency only, I would say that there is no emergency in Hong Kong'.

Thousands of protesters marched in the main business area of ​​the city today, violating the new law. It doesn't matter if he gets sentenced to ten years.

It doesn't matter to wear a mask like this, ”said one jobber who joined the movement, wearing only a surgical mask named Mary. Critics of the government also criticized the new law. He cautioned that the move was the first step towards ending Hong Kong rule in Hong Kong under the 'One Country Two System' assigned to China in 1997.

The pro-democracy advocate Mo said, "I am concerned that this is just the beginning, some dangerous laws will still be introduced in the name of law." However, now the law has been repealed.

The democratic movement that Beijing and local leaders took very strongly toward the protesters was intensified and the protesters demanded more democratic freedom and police accountability. The performers hid their faces to hide their identities. They wore masks and helmets. Tears used goggles and respirators to escape the gas.

Tens of thousands of protesters and townspeople took to the streets today to protest the ban on the troubled Hong Kong ruler wearing a mask at rallies. He held a rally in Hong Kong's main commercial area.

The government is believed to have tried to suppress the anti-government movement for months. Protesters flocked to the Central Business Center to protest the new law that came into force on Saturday and called out anti-government slogans.
