[China's State Media uses racist attack to defame HK protesters: part #n2/2]

An abstract of People's Daily's report on the "Hong Kong Way"
is as follows:

//The evil extremists in Hong Kong finally showed their true colour in the political move of "Hong Kong Way" and revealed their intention of the independence of Hong kong
The world knows what the "Baltic Way" achieved 30 years ago. Taiwan separatist imitated the movement and now there is the "Hong Kong Way".

The purpose of the move could not be clearer.

The "Way of Hong Kong" was build by generations after generations of patriots with their hearts close to their homeland.

Where will the "Way of Hong Kong" be? It will never be the independence of Hong Kong.
Forming human chain of for this so-called "Hong Kong Way" is no different to digging their own graves.//

At Least 20 People Died in Myanmar’s Military Crackdown, Military: Deaths are the Fault of Violent Demonstrators

Myanmar military coup has occurred for more than two months. According to local media reports, the military shot again in Bago city in southern Myanmar, making at least 20 people died. Besides, some university students protested in Mandalay and set fire to Chinese and Russian flags protesting the countries’ perceived support of the coup regime. The military spokesperson indicated in an interview that many deaths were the fault of violent protesters, provoking and stopping civil servants to travel to work. The spokesperson also emphasised that the military only uses minimum force.

Started from Friday midnight, the military continued to shoot in Bago city, Southern Myanmar, for suppression. Many gunshots were heard, firelights were seen at the scene, and some citizens picked up grenade shells. Local media reported that at least 20 people died during the suppression, with an unknown injured number.

People continue the protest in Myanmar. Many university students who drove motorbikes and gathered also raised three fingers in the second large city Mandalay. By the time, some people burned Chinese and Russian flags protesting countries’ perceived support of the coup regime by blocking the UN Security Council resolutions against the junta. During the assembly in Yangon, protesters put on lots of red-colour-dying t-shirts and put wreaths in the river to mourn the dead protesters.

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.

The UN General Assembly Condemns the Myanmar Military for Launching a Coup”, and Calls to Stop the Import of Weapons

The UN General Assembly rarely passed a non-legally binding resolution yesterday (18 June), condemning that the Myanmar military launched a coup and called for an arms embargo on Myanmar. The resolution indicates the international opposition to the junta government and demands Myanmar to resume the democratization process. After Belarus requested a recorded vote, resolution finally was passed with 119 agreed, one opposed, and 36 abstained. Belarus is the only one who voted objection.

The resolution requires the Myanmar military government to restore the democratization process and condemns their “excessive and deadly violence” since the coup. At the same time, the resolution calls on all countries to prevent the import of weapons into Myanmar and urges the military to respect the election result from November last year. It also requests that the military immediately release political figures, such as former President Win Min and State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi, and all people who had randomly been arrested. Moreover, the resolution demands that the military should stop treating peace protesters with violence and limiting the network and social media.
