bridge india's religious divide. and. i'm british welcome to day. it's good to have you with us. now 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 dream land to be tried under china's traditional system critics say the law threatens hong kong judicial independence and autonomy granted to it under the so-called one country 2 systems principle. but 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 among is leader of one of the most prominent groups involved. mobilization. going. on the whole so sad piece including the church including secondary schools including the student i chose asia. to see asia. they're 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 of the capo seizures in whole cause i don't think they will put trumped up cases to hong kong. 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 mean 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. right it's government who will make use of this. amendment. punishing. people who live. in the 9th ward 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 and 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 a 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 we're going to as there's estimates that they numbered a 1000000 are correct it would be the biggest demonstration here for 30 years. and speaking today hong kong's probating good accounting was adamant the controversial bill was not an order from the chinese government. this bill is not initiated by the central people still. i have not received any instruction on mending from beijing to do despair. we were doing and we are still doing it out of

here and she's and i'll come even 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 now the leader of 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 . 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 region on sunday who call for the dangerous extradition amendments 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 protests such as these are happened in the

streets of hong kong. well i i see what you need and i think that we have been through this time no that's the ration not only this time but also eat 2003 when the national security low was proposed also got them all up. and told we manage to. the request of. the national security law and then. we actually opt to. be a. new democratic. off let me just ask specifically about this particular role in question of the government to the short that there are sufficient safeguards in place it is also saying the bill the regular updates of implementation to the courts and it's also saying that only certain that the goodies of accused persons will be extradited to these assurances not enough or

does the government. well i think most of all present on manama actually in the bigger picture you see. between this year is done between hong kong and china on one hand the chinese of this regime is not easy and the. 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 of 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 day and the 2nd thing is right now with a man learns and the divisions that the government effort on is actually discriminate sharee and only if they will offer people for example that this innocent and 3rd not the hong kong government also and on saying that they will

have extra human rights actions to hong kong citizens but so far we haven't see what they are saying on wednesday the law will be passed and not all they did then they even not only then actually let us the public see what they are hoping to protect the human rights of home. we have to leave it there for the time being emma's 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. 3 others who had committed the crime have been handed a 5 year prison terms each the crime in general and 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 the ruling b.g.p. protested in favor of their queues police said the sixpence in the hindu community including a priest policeman conspired to commit the crime they wanted to scare the dramatic wisdoms away from that area. and for more we can go across to a delhi correspondent. 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 muslim nomadic community of good years that this child belonged to the

day they wanted them to to leave the area so i think this is really kind of exposed a fault lines between you know kind of hindu dominated job and muslim dominated kashmir valley in a divided state so i think this politically charged atmosphere 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 in petard court in the northern state of punjab so never sure brutality of the crime or sorry but it became a focal point for politics based on religion as you mentioned the with this judgment he in those divisions or why didn't the. well it's true that this case you know we did see a lot of politicking here based on religion there was 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 i know it was you know further for the stock 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 little stations between hindus and muslims and of course that continues to remain a 4th line today in present day india under the ruling b.g.p. so if i like it in delhi thank you very much. indians have been reacting to the verdict on social media journalists' shivam vij so is a never forget don't be g.o.p. leaders in country and jumble and protests to defend their queues physically prevented lawyers from physically fighting drug trade c m accused have now been

found guilty indeed transport minister of egypt 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 to put sort of them one meter in the crime happened welcome the verdict she said it's hard time to stop playing politics over his crime whether it to a child was drugged raped repeatedly and then bludgeoned to death hope loopholed an additional system are not exploited and culprits get example be punished. that's a struggle the other stories on the. on facebook and twitter even i would speak just from the massive protests in hong kong over the weekend that.
