People have mobilized to demand the resignation of Leung Chun-Ying, the current Chief Executive of Hong Kong chosen by Beijing. In 1997, when Britain turned control of Hong Kong over to China after colonizing the country for 150 years, China pledged to maintain the existing economic and legal system existing this special administrative region. But it is now clear that Beijing is trying to circumvent its obligations by imposing more restrictive measures on the people of Hong Kong.
We applaud the maturity of the Hong Kong’s youth and encourage all civil libertarians and those in support of democracy to show your support for this massive and peaceful demonstration.
