Thai Pro-democracy Protests Demand Reform in Monarchy
Between Oct 13 and Oct 17, 2020, Thai police arrested at least 65 pro-democracy protesters including 9 key figures. On Oct 16, Thai police deployed water cannon with chemicals at civilians.
The three-fingered salute, inspired by Hunger Games, has been a sign used by Thai pro-democracy activists. Having gestured the hand sign at a car carrying royal members including the Queen, two student activists Bunkueanun "Francis" Paothong and Ekachai Hongkangwan were arrested on Oct 16 and could face up to a life sentence. Pro-democracy civilians have been calling for reforms to the monarchy.
Despite this, the public were not deterred and called for rallies at nearby BTS or MRT stations in Bankok on Saturday Oct 17. Although the authorities suspended the public transportation services, civilians, some wearing protective gears like helmets, walked to the assembly places. 23,000 people were estimated on Sarurday's rallies. The police did not interfere and the protesters left peacefully.

Assembly in New York on Oct 1, Urging Countries to Establish Multilateral Alliance to Hold the CCP Accountable
Over 200 non-governmental organisations (NGO) jointly initiated a rally named "Resist China: A Global Day of Action" in more than 60 cities around the world on October 1, "celebrating" the China National day. Participants include Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hongkongers, Taiwanese, Southern-Mongolians, and even Chinese. Dorjee Tseten, the General Director of Student for a Free Tibet, one of the organisations initiating the event, said that people around the world should stand together to fight against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The purpose of the event was to urge the European Union (EU) and other governments establishing a multilateral alliance, to hold the CCP accountable with tougher policies. "Xi-Jinping's policies are speeding up the end of the regime. The fall of the CCP is near", he believed.
Dorjee said, "Western democratic countries made China becoming a beast it is today. We have to clear about this, that CCP is a threat to global security.” He pointed out that in the past, western countries only focused on benefit, neglecting all China inhumane tyranny in Xinjiang and Tibet. "Have they (western countries) awaken yet? Yes, they have. But do we satisfy? No, we do not. We need stronger action."
He thinks governments from all over the world should implement policies for the accountability of "business which make benefits from people who suffer”, and organisations in civil societies should reveal these issues to their governments as well as the people. He gave an example that Apple Inc. had been blocking virtual private network (VPN) functions for the Chinese government and removing mobile application used by Hong Kong protesters from its shelves, before it launched its first human rights policy in September after prolonged lobbying by civil society groups. He argued that consumers should also raise their awareness, "when everyone buy Chinese products with a low-price in the western countries, they have to know where these products come from, often from oppressive regimes such as in Tibet.

TikTok is Banned in Pakistan, Referring to Unfiltered “Immoral” Content
Pakistan telecommunication regulator announced the ban on the use of TikTok, a video-sharing social media application under a Chinese technology company ByteDance, as the regulator received numerous complaints on immoral and inappropriate content.
Pakistan telecommunication regulator stated that TikTok could file a complaint and they would review the ban policy after removing unlawful contents.
Reuter quoted three senior Pakistan officials as saying on Friday (October 9) that the government decided to ban the social media application TikTok as the application was not able to remove “immoral” content. A senior official who directly involved in this decision said that they had requested TikTok to set up an effective system to hide immoral and inappropriate content for many times. However, the platform has failed to satisfy the Pakistan government. The government therefore decided to ban TikTok.

Mass Protest in Washington, US Representative Calls for Punishment for CCP as Transnational Organized Crime Group
More than 10 pro-democracy groups assembled in front of the US Capitol on 1 October in protest of the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) tyrannical rule. A number of members of the US Congress attended the demonstration in support of the cause. A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives demanding that the CCP be designated as a transnational organized crime group, prosecuted, and punished.
Over 10 organizations from Washington and New York gathered in front of the US Capitol in protest of the CCP’s persecution of the Uyghurs and the Tibetans, erosion of freedom in Hong Kong, suppression of dissidents, and bullying and intimidating Taiwan by military means. Hundreds attended the demonstration, including a number of Hongkongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs, and pro-democracy Chinese activists.
Speaking at the demonstration, Democratic representative Tom Suozzi thanked the participants for exposing what the CCP had done. “No new movies, fancy pamphlets, sanitized history, or trade deals will make these [acts by the CCP] palatable. We must be aware of the threat the CCP poses to all those around the world who love freedom as well as to Chinese citizens,” said Suozzi.
Republican representative Scott Perry said he would hold the CCP responsible for what they had done. He introduced a bill at the Congress the same day, asking that the CCP be designated as a transnational organized crime (TOC) group, and prosecuted and punished as such. “The CCP is detaining people against their will, altering cultures, damaging or eradicating languages, coercively harvesting organs, building concentration camps, and so on and so forth. And yet, they are getting away with these by virtue of being the legitimate ruler of China when in fact it is a criminal group subjecting China to oppressive rule. We need to define them as such and hand out fitting punishment to them,” he said.

Experts in Education Sector Criticise the Hong Kong Government for Firing a Teacher without Allowing Him to Defend
A teacher at Alliance Primary School, Kowloon Tong was deregistered by the Education Bureau for "promotion of Hong Kong independence" in early October.
James Hon, former chairman of the Council on Professional Conduct in Education (#CPCE), explained that normally if a case is handled by the CPCE, the decision of firing the teacher would be made after considering the complainant's and defendant’s statement at a hearing. However, in this case, the teacher was fired without being given a chance to defend.
Hon criticised the Education Bureau for treating the teacher unfairly and that it was very inconceivable for the teacher to be fired just because of one discussion section.
Leung Yan-wing, former council member of the CPCE, criticised that there was no academic rationale for the Education Bureau to fire the teacher. He also suspected that the Bureau’s decision was based on political correctness considering the fact that the Bureau has announced to change the contents of textbooks in Liberal Education recently.
Leung worried that this case would serve as a warning to teachers and stop them from initiating discussions of controversial topics from their professional perspective, which in turn will cause a huge damage to the profession of education.

HK Government attempts to loosen up election law to allow permanent citizens living in China to cast ballots in its offices in China
The 2020 Hong Kong Legislative Council election was originally scheduled on 6 September 2020 until it was postponed by the government for a whole year to 5 September 2021. An amendment bill to existing Elections Ordinance was reportedly prepared for LegCo deliberation next month.
The amendment bill was said to enable Hong Kong citizens residing in Mainland to vote. As well, “priority lanes”were proposed to facilitate not only elderlies but staff members of ballot office, and members of disciplined forces, including Hong Kong Police to cast their votes.
A source revealed that under the amendment, Hong Kong permanent residents living on the mainland would be allowed to cast ballots in polling stations set up at the city government’s offices there, without having to travel back to the city. The source said, “the Hong Kong government’s offices in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai are likely to be the locations where the first batch of polling stations on the mainland will be set up.”
