Paul Harris: Oppression of peaceful protest and a continual increase in agitation between ruling party and public may lead to violence, quoting examples of unjust trials from history of Northern Ireland
Paul Harris, Chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association (#HKBA) notices both the ruling party and the public in Hong Kong are immersed in strong emotions since 2019. This is worrying.
He quotes Northern Ireland in the 70s as example. Terror attacks by the Provisional Irish Republican Army (#PIRA), public anger and fear occupied the whole country. These pushed both the ruling party and the public to act strongly in a hurry. The ultimate result was a series of unjust, wrong or false charges.
Hong Kong should take this as a lesson.
