JOSHUA WONG: Millions of Hong Kong people joined the demonstration and protest within the past few weeks. It showed the spirit and dignity of Hong Kong people. What we ask for is such urge Carrie Lam, the evil chief executive, should withdraw the extradition amendment. And what we tried to do is just through civil disobedience and direct action and let the whole world, let the international communities to realise that how Hong Kong people will not keep silenced under the suppression of President Xi and the chief executive Carrie Lam.

Carrie Lam must step down otherwise, I believe in the next few weeks, before that 22 anniversary of Hong Kong transfer of sovereignty, more and more Hong Kong people, not only one million or 2 million people, will come and join our fight until the day we get back our basic human rights and freedom.
