"Are you happy?" the judge asks Lam Cheuk-ting during the trial. Lamresponds, "I'm not happy at all. It's not something that should have happened. Why would I be happy when someone is hitting my mouth and causing it to bleed?" The judge clarifies, "I'm not asking if you're happy about being attacked, but if you're happy that hundreds of thousands of people watched the livestream." Lam reiterates his discontent, questioning the joy in such a disturbing incident being witnessed by many. This raises concerns about a fair trial. #HongKong #721terroristattack #721yuenlongattack

The controversial Article 23 legislation, previously faced strong opposition for over 20 years, was swiftly passed in Hong Kong's Legislative Council without any dissenting voices. The law will come into effect on Saturday, March 23. Critics express concern over the accelerated legislative process, with minimal consultation and detailed penalties revealed. The expedited passage of Article 23, which tightens national security, has drawn international attention, with media outlets like BBC, Bloomberg, CNN, and The New York Times highlighting the impact on Hong Kong's freedoms and its further alignment with China. Al Jazeera describes it as a "dark day" for Hong Kong's civil society, while Peninsula TV refers to the law as "draconian." #HongKong #Article23 #NationalSecurity
