#StandWithHongKong and #StandWithThailand : Global Call for Freedom and Democracy

In Hong Kong, the slogans #StandWithThailand and #Save12HKYouths appeared on the road in Kornhill, Taikoo.

The slogans voiced support for the pro-democracy protests currently taking place in Thailand and raised concern over Chinese authorities' detention of 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers in China for over 50 days and counting.

Thai Police Shows Three-finger Salute to Civilians in Support of Freedom and Democracy

Pro-democracy protests in Thailand have entered the fifth day on October 18, 2020. Many scenes in Thailand recalled the pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong: the supply chain formed by the gathering public; rallies that were initiated by the public and took place in different areas; the public which took turn to speak up for the leaderless movement; and the 'red sea' moment when protesters gave way to ambulances.

According to the report by The Matter (twitter@thematterco), the public rallying at Victory Monument in Bangkok chanted "Hong Kong is a country! Return independence to Hong Kong!". It was reported that on Oct 18, 2020, over 10,000 civilians protested in the area.

Moreover, AFP journalist Mladen Antov captured a Thai police showing the pro-democracy three-figure salute to the protesters. The photo has gone viral on the Internet. Many contrasted it with a photo of the Hong Kong police but showing the middle finger to the pro-democracy protesters during the 2019 Anti-Extradition Law Movement in Hong Kong.

According to Thai Enquirer, a former police officer told the public he resigned as he did not want to cause harm to any civilian. He also reminded his former colleagues that the duty of the police is to serve the public.

In Chiang Mai, university students held rally and expressed that in case the students in Bangkok cannot hold out, they would continue the fight.

Netizens initiated rallies in over 20 locations including Pathumtani and Nonthabur outside of the capital.
