#WhiteTerror Spreads to #Sport Sector: Pro-China Legislator Condemns Hong Kong Athletes
According to Hong Kong's Chief Executive #CarrieLam, the SAR Government had purchased the broadcasting rights for the #Tokyo #OlympicGames, and arranged for five TV stations to broadcast.
In the panel meeting on Home Affairs at the Legislative Council (#LegCo), athletes representative of Hong Kong were, however, attacked by the pro-Beijing DAB party.
For instance, Leung Che-cheung, a #DAB member, criticized the Hong Kong Ladies’ Foil Team members, for reportedly hand signing the pro-democracy “Five Demand, Not One Less” slogan during the 2019 World Cup.
The pro-China legislator comdemns it as an action "against the Government".
Leung continued to ask the Government to follow up with this matter.
Concuring with Leung, the Government's Commissioner for Sports Yeung Tak-keung claimed that “politics should be separated from sports”.
Yeung said that athletes must sign a guideline before participating in competitions, and should not express political demands on the Olympic occasions. Yeung emphasized that there is any violation, the game would be suspended and the personnel would be penalized.
