Social Welfare Sector Stands In Solidarity In Support of Movement
2030 | The “Social Welfare Sector: Humanitarian Crisis Assembly” was held at 1900 at Edinburg place, Central today #17Dec, as part of a series of rallies and strike by the social welfare sector this week
One of the speakers on the assembly was Sonia Ng, who was remanded in custody and is now a vocal figure against police’s sexual violence at San Uk Ling Holding Centre. “Hong Kong girls are now much stronger than ever before,” She encouraged Hongkongers. She listed a few examples, like Hong Kong girls know how to distinguish different kinds of respiratory masks, and they are talking like truck drivers when they are assisting frontliners or fighting on the frontline. She emphasized that the Revolution is reconnecting Hongkongers, as well as her fiancé and her – they are getting married next year. People congratulated and cheered for her.

Ventus Lau and Evander, representatives of the Hong Kong Civil Assembly Team, read the Declaration of the Assembly.
Summary of the Declaration:
1) Retribution against the Govt
For the past 7 months, Hongkongers went to great lengths and undertook a series of measures to protect Hong Kong, from peaceful demonstrations to armed struggle, from fortifying local barricades to establishing international connections. “The government will receive the retribution they deserve, for all the blood and tears that Hongkongers have shed over the city,” they stressed.
2) Efforts from the International Community
The Five demands have yet to be fulfilled, but Hongkongers made steady progress in gaining international attention. After the US Congress passed the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act by an overwhelming majority, many countries of the free world also joined in the effort by enacting or preparing to enact sanctions against the repressive regime of the CPC. “The clock is ticking. Their time is running out,” as they proclaimed.
3) Persistence
They reminded participants of the importance of persistence. “In the coming year, Hongkongers must continue to speak out to the world and to demonstrate to the world that the battle against authoritarianism has not and would never have ended.”
4) Call for actions home and abroad
The organizer appealed to the participants, explaining the weightage of the #Jan19 ‘Universal Siege on Communists’ March.” The Hong Kong Legislative Council Election will take place this year. They call on the international community to monitor the election. “Once again Hong Kong is placed under the spotlight on the international stage,” They stressed, “if universal suffrage is absent; if the unjust functional constituencies still exist; if candidates are still disqualified arbitrarily, international sanctions must be launched.”
5) Demands for political reform
Immediate political reform is within the power of the Hong Kong Communist regime. The local Government should at once announce the resumption of political reforms and consult the public on election plans for the LegCo. “The world watches and awaits to see if the Communist regime’s constitutional promise to actualise democracy in Hong Kong was another lie.” “The people of Hong Kong will do anything in their disposal to punish those in power, and to make sure these sanctions be implemented in the fastest and most severe manner possible.”
6) Conclusion
“I believe in the power of the Karma: Our deeds and intents will eventually repay us, whether it be good or bad. All the injustice shall fall by their punishment coming. And for everyone, like you and me here, who loves Hong Kong from the deepest of hearts, we shall see victory.”

Agnes Chow, a Committee member of Demosisto, spoke about her work in Japan.
She was saddened by many of the incidents happened in Hong Kong, and regret that many people have become desensitized to the horrors, even though they do not want to be like that.
Agnes stated that the international community is significant to Hong Kong. She recalled the last time when she tried to hold a press conference in Japan, but was refused by the Japanese government. However, many in Japan are currently investigating the possibility of enacting a Japanese version of the US Magnitsky Act. Although Japan may be paying less attention to HK now, many are still supportive of the movement.
Once again, she emphasized the importance of participating in online Twitter discussions to ensure that HK's voices are heard.

Riot Police Laughing Hysterically While Firing Teargas
1630 | A riot policeman fired a tear gas outside The Landmark at Central. He then burst into hysterical laughter, laughing at the civilians. That policeman was in a state of unusual hyperactivity, dancing in sync to the explosions from the tear gas canister. He only put on his gas mask when the smoke started reaching him.
