On Wednesday (November 11), the pro-democracy camp declared its preferences at a press conference just hours after the Hong Kong government announced the disqualification of 4 pro-democracy legislators.
Moreover, pro-democracy legislators announced their mass resignation on account of the town authorities’ decision to disqualify 4 pro-democracy legislators. The 4 pro-democracy legislatures are Alvin Yeung, Dennis Kwok, Kwok Ka-ki and Kenneth Leung of the legislature. There are several explanations for this example, including one among the grounds for disqualification in reference to the adoption by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress, which meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, of a resolution stating that those that support Hong Kong’s independence or refuse to simply accept it should disqualify the Chinese sovereignty over the region, in addition to carrying out activities that threaten national security or call for foreign forces to intervene within the affairs of the town.
More than 10,000 people were detained in Hong Kong during pro-democracy demonstrations from June 2019 to September this yr.
Political unrest also occurred in the town’s legislature, with politicians picking fights, filibustering votes, staging protests, and even vomiting foul-smelling fluids.
The overthrow of parliament is a brand new attempt by Beijing to challenge the ability of the Communist Party, which has been met with sharp criticism from international figures.
“These efforts to threaten, suppress and disqualify democratic opposition undermine China’s international legitimacy and threaten Hong Kong’s long-term stability”said British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.
“This is one more case of the Chinese Communist Party violating the remnants of democracy in Hong Kong,– said Lord Chris Patten, former Governor of Hong Kong.
“Today we will give up our seats because our allies, our colleagues, have been disqualified by the ruthless move of the national government”, said Wu Chi-wai, founding father of the pro-democracy camp, at a press conference.
“Since we’ll face many difficulties in the approaching future within the fight for democracy, we’ll never, never quit,” he said.
Wu said pro-democracy lawmakers would hand out a letter of resignation on Thursday. At a press conference, pro-democracy lawmakers shouted: “Hong Kong is adding oil, we stand together, holding hands.
