More than 35 cities join hands calling for global attention to #save12HKYouth, stopping pro-democracy activists being extradited to China for trial
It has been 64 days since the arrest of the 12 Hong Kong Youth by China's coastal guard when fleeing the city to Taiwan. An online assembly was called for on 25 October to sustain local and international attention in a bid to save these 12 pro-democracy youngsters from potential torture and oppression from Chinese authoritarianism.
In their own unique ways, more than 35 cities around the globe, including San Francisco, New York, Toronto, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Holland, and Sweden have showed their support to the detainees and their family members.
The 12 Hong Kong youths detained in Shenzhen is a watershed case for Hong Kong, which will influence whether the extradition of pro-democracy activists to stand trial in China becomes a common occurrence.
