3 Pan-Democracy Law Makers were arrested yesterday. It has become clear that #CCP wants to eliminate all its opposition and gain full control in #HK within a short period of time. At this moment, there isn't a single Law Maker that represented the Democratic side in the Legislative Council (#LegCo)

I’m not going to encourage people to cast invalid ballots or boycott the emasculated election. But I am going to point out that in the 2019 UK General Election, Nigel Farage spoilt his ballot due to the lack of a suitable candidate to vote for. Not voting is just voting for the winner, whoever that is. The US also has write in balloting so that if there isn’t a suitable candidate, you can choose someone else. So these are things worth thinking about when making a decision as to what to do.

Pro-democracy Engineer tells Hong Kong Court to "Return the Power to the Citizens"
Part 1:
[Editor's notes: On July 28, 2019, the police fired numerous #teargas canisters and #rubberbullets in #SheungWan in order to disperse the crowd. 44 people were arrested, 21 of them were charged for rioting. The Court extended the trial from November 13 to December 4, 2021.]
In Hong Kong, 20 civilians, including an 26-year old engineer who pleaded guilty earlier, were accused of the riot at the police-citizen conflict at #SheungWan on July 28, 2019.
On December 4, 2021, Kun Kit-Wang, a 26-year-old engineer, defended himself in court in Hong Kong over rioting charges in the 2019 AntiELAB Movement.
Kun pleaded guilty before the trial and was under detention since May when he revoked his bail.
In court, Kun thanked the magistrate for reminding him to find a legal representative in the previous trial, but he still hoped to defend himself.
Kun said that during the 2019 #AntiELABmovement, #July28 was nothing special originally, but because of the Police’s indulgence of the #July21 indiscriminate attack in #YuenLong, that night triggered the most anger from citizens, and resulted in much anger on the rally on July 28.
He used a quote from #MartinLutherKing, "Riot is a language of the unheard", saying that the #riot classification reflects the government’s negligence of the citizens' opinion.
As a result, he admitted to being part of the riot with no hesitation and indicated that the government should feel ashamed of their actions, not the citizens.
He said there were two #rallies with a million people on #Jun9 and #Jun16, 2019, demonstrating the vox populi. Although the peaceful demonstration gained international accreditation, the Hong Kong government still ignored the backlash and made the decision on their own.
He recalled a quote painted on the wall of the #LegCo chsmber on #Jul01, 2019, "It's you who taught me a peaceful rally can't change anything." It expresses the hopelessness, frustration and anger felt by #Hongkongers at the time.
As there had been magistrate that were unknowledgable concerning the protesters' demands, Kun said that the protesters only hoped for having a chance to participate in policy advocacy, which some regard as "returning the power to the people".
If the #HongKongLegCo does not gain authorisation of the people or does not have a peaceful system to resolve problems, it is suppression. #MaoZedong has said, "fight as there is suppression".
He also pointed out that the #ProvisionalLegislativeCouncil (#PLC) installed by the post-handover government in 1997 was not authorised by the citizens. The handpicked council revived the #PublicOrderOrdinance, which became the law behind the prosecution of many dissidents.
As a person bound by the law, he would like to ask, "do I have the responsibility to obey a contract that I disagree with to begin with?”
