listen let's. take a personal plea. with. the game so special. for the whole truth. long. long line. this is. coming up in the program on the streets of hong kong hundreds of thousands protested extradition. to push ahead despite massive i. mean for the credit to struggle to hold on to its autonomy. just after last as a quarter. for the. bridge

just about. i'm going to welcome to. it's good to have you with us. no it's one of the largest demonstrations hong kong has ever seen hundreds of thousands rallying in the city's streets against a proposed extradition law a law that would allow people to spectate of crimes to be sent to the chinese mainland to be tried under china is traditional system critics say the law threatens hong kong to do some independence and autonomy granted to it under the so-called one country 2 systems principle. but here is belinda has been in hong kong in the lead up to these protests and brings us the perspective of those against the proposed law. pro-democracy organisations have been preparing for this

demonstration for weeks christopher none is leader of one of the most prominent groups involved. mobilisation is going through. the whole so sad he's including the church including secondary schools including student i suppose a show committee are those days are. there demanding kerry lands hong kong government scrap an extradition bill which would allow suspects to be sent to mainland china the government has amended it twice already and says concerns that would be abused are unfounded. international spotlight will be on every surrender request put forward by. complete transparency other capo seizures and whole culture i don't think they will put trumped up cases to hold up. but that

is exactly what christopher among fears just a few days ago this a memorial in hong kong to a labor activist who died after serving years in a main than chinese prison. hong kong's trade unions have been supporting labor activists in china for a long time but the bill has increased their concerns he was worried that. his government who make use of this. amendment to punish. people. who don't struggle in the ninety's while on. similar fears have been voiced by media associations hong kong free press is an independent news website that was launched in 2015 amid worries about shrinking press freedom i don't think there will be any immediate sort of

changes or or or exercising of overflow when it kicks in because there's been such a course of criticism but i would not be surprised in the years to come if it was a new thing in a very broad and for conan way and that is what worries of the journalist and many other factors in hong kong. as protesters gathered on sunday it quickly became clear their hopes for a large turnout had been met if organizers estimates that they numbered a 1000000 are correct it would be the biggest demonstration here for 30 years. and speaking today on kong's probating leader kerry lamb was adamant the controversial bill was not an order from the chinese government. this bill is not initiated by the central people stuff and. i have not received any instruction on mending from beijing to do this. we were doing and we are still doing it out of

conscience and out commitment to hong kong. for more on this i'm joined from hong kong by amnesty international's hong kong director. mr dan good to see you and thank you for making the time for us. the leader of on kong has said the government will in any case go through with this bill as part of what she called the government's commitment to hong kong other planned protests on wednesday therefore futile. well i don't think so will carry them to push forward with these changes is actually an insult to the one we in. this week's on sunday who call for the danger as a citizen i managed to be wrong it is wrong. i was 8 that is the policy on this and equal but then the government doesn't seem to be listening to the people and this is not the 1st time protest such as these are happened in the

streets of hong kong. well i i see what you mean and i think that we have been through the sky and know that's the ration not only this time but also. when the national security law was proposed also. all. the young. and bold we manage to. do all the national security at all and then. we actually opt to. be a. new democratic. off let me just ask specifically about this particular law in question on the government short that there are sufficient safeguards in place it is also saying that they'll be regular. and it's also saying that only certain that the goodies of accused persons will be extradited these assurances not enough or does the government. well i think

most of all present on manama and in the bigger picture you see polish and between the 2 this year is done between hong kong and china on one hand the chinese are this racist on these and the broader. chinese government or the companies poppy and also it has a poor threat read all of human rights. whole chain exactly and on the other hand on the outside hong kong to these resist on these independent and we have local human rights lol and also. the national parliament that. is resistant so it is a coalition between this is this is the 1st thing and the 2nd thing is right now a man wins and the divisions that the government effort on is actually discriminate sharee and only if the off people for example that this innocent and 3rd not the hong kong government also and on saying that they will have extra human rights

action to hong kong citizens but so far we haven't seen what they are saying on wednesday the law will be passed and not all they do then they even not only then actually let us the public see what they are holding to protect the human rights of hong kong right resent them even there for the time being amnesty international. thank you very much. to india next but a court has handed down a life to 3 men convicted of raping and killing any 2 or 3 others who had commit the crime have been handed a 5 year prison terms each the crime in general state last year shook india and led to demands for justice across the country the god who was from a nomadic muslim community was drugged held hostage and then sexually assaulted for a week before the men strangled and battered her to death with the storm as details

of the crime became known protests and politics began across india lawmakers from that would be chippy protested in favor of the accused police said the sixpence in the hindu community including a priest and policeman conspired to commit the crime they wanted to scare the nomadic wisdoms away from that area. and for more we can go across to a delhi correspondent sonia sonia a verdict then that many expected. well british see definitely a verdict that has been welcomed by many here now if you remember this this case really took place in a highly charged political atmosphere you know we saw a lot of protests in support of these accused hindu men we saw a lot of counter protests a lot of passions running high and at the time you know investigators that said that the child was targeted because the accused men had really wished to terrorize the kind of mostly nomadic community of good jazz that this child belonged to the

day they wanted them to to leave the area so i think this is this case really kind of exposed fault lines between you know kind of hindu dominated job and muslim dominated kashmir valley in a divided state so i think this political charge back to see if you remember also prompted finally india's supreme court to kind of remove this case move it away from the state of jammu and kashmir and set it up in a court and put out court in the northern state of punjab so never sure brutality of a crime was started it became a focal point for politics based on religion as you mention the with this judgment in those divisions or why didn't the. well it's true that this case it all we did see a lot of politicking here based on religion there was a real attempt to kind of play off hindu muslim divisions and i think it was a lot of outrage especially when you know hindu right wing groups in the area protested actually protested against the arrest of these accused men which included

you know a hindu priest and 7 police officers there were actually also hindu lawyers in the general high court that tried to prevent the police from filing charges accused against the accused and then angle was you know further for the spock to win 2 ministers of the ruling b.j. people actually took part to rally supporting the accused so this this caused a lot of outrage but this also reinforced the belief i think among many rightwing hindus that the accused men in this case were falsely implicated in this case so i think this this case is really soft and a lot of for little stations between hindus and muslims and of course that continues to remain a fault line today in present day india under the ruling b.g.p. so in a filing that in delhi thank you very much for the. indians have been reacting to the verdict on social media journalists shivam vij so it is a never forget don't be dipping leaders in country and jumble monster protests to defend their queues physically prevented lawyers from physically fighting drug trade c m accused have now been found guilty in the bronze but mr richard is

a member of the b j p he says the conviction gives me hope that such brutality is would not go unpunished but it also makes me think of our collective consciousness as a society why should god who are really going to happen we need to educate boys on how to treat and respect women. who was chief minister of them one meter in the crime happened welcome the verdict she said it's hard time we stopped playing politics over his crime when an old child was drugged raped repeatedly and then bludgeoned to death hope loopholes in our judicial system are not exploited and culprits get example be punished. that's a phenomenal draggled all the stories on the special on facebook. when even i would speak to us from the massive protests in hong kong over the weekend into next that .

mugging us in the us so it's not easy to go to another country you know nothing about i don't do this because we can't stay on his way and i'm not surprised that. closely global news that matters. made for martin's.
