Do you know what happened in Hong Kong on July 26, 2019?
The first ”fly with you” rally took place at the Hong Kong International Airport on 26 July, 2019 in protest of the authorities' plan to allow extradition to China.
Workers from the aviation industry and many civilians distributed posters in the arrival hall and explained to tourists Hongkongers' "five demands" in the anti-ELAB movement. Some participants used their bodies to imitate the Lennon Wall.
Back then, the airport was filled with tourists and businesses went on at the terminal.
Later on, the government obtained an interim injunction from the court, banning enty to the airport except having a boarding pass. Since then, no one can go see their friends and family off at the airport.
On the contrary, the government refused to close the border in face of the coronavirus outbreak. As the pandemic is hitting, the once bustling airport has become a barren island.

The Reuters reported on 26 July, 2020, Indian court had summoned the founder of Alibaba, Jack Ma, to be testified in court, as he was allegedly involved in an unreasonable dismissal of an Indian employed in “UC Browser”. According to this former employee, Pushpandra Singh Parmar, he was fired due to his opposition towards the company app’s censorship system and dissemination of fake news. After facing an unreasonable dismissal, he filed the case to the court, seeking for a 268,000 USD (around 2.08 million HKD) compensation.
According to the news, in Parmar’s 200-page indictment, he showed captured screenshots and accused “UC Browser” and “UC News” of publishing fake news, creating social and political instability.

Joshua Wong protests against political censorship by electoral officials
On 26 July, 2020, former Secretary-General of Demosisto Joshua Wong received an inquiry from an electoral officer called Alice Choi.
Wong was requested to explain whether he would continue to advocate for ”Democracy and autonomy”, an objective of the now-dissolved Demosisto and what is his stance on the National Security Law. He was also questioned if he would get support from external forces and put pressure on China and Hong Kong in the future with his position and power as a lawmaker. On the seven questions and ten appendixes raised by the electoral official, Joshua Wong said,”that’s the longest among all the candidates. It fully reflects how serious and detailed political censorship done by the government is.”
