International Rallies Around the Globe, Supporting the 47 Detained Pro-Democracy Activists
The 47 pro-democracy activists who participated in or organized the primary election were arrested under the national security law. Hong Kong citizens from all around the world held rallies at multiple locations to support the detained activists. These include San Francisco, USA, Melbourne, Australia, Berlin, Germany, Tainan, Taiwan, Nottingham, UK and Vancouver, Canada.
Rally Attendees waved flags with the slogan “Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of our Times”. Some played “Glory to Hong Kong“, in which the crowd sang along to the song, hoping to support those in Hong Kong not to give up.
Although the rallies were scattered around the world, all participants and organizers expressed a similar message:
“Use the light you have, to shine others along your way.” (Tainan)
“We want to make a difference and speak out against mass arrests.” (San Francisco Bay Area)
A message to Hongkongers that “Keep speaking out, continue making yourself heard and do not be censored.” (Nottingham, United Kingdom)
