i'll go to the girl. my hopes to. see. her again you're. curious minds. yourself networkers. subscriber. coming up protests across. the un 3 provides protection to. people protesting. from the mainland chinese. chinese eager to express their views on the hong kong

protests. and china. criticizes persecution of the muslim minority. while. it's good to have you with us along meant to provide protection against persecution is fueling the violence in india and these behind me are some of these scenes unfolding across the country as protests spread against the citizenship amendment act before it became a law it was called a citizenship amendment or cab now the new law provides a route to citizenship for religious minorities fleeing persecution in pakistan. and bangladesh but muslims fleeing these countries are not included in the post.

view of this act the act has led to protests across india in the state of assam in the northeast delhi pradesh west bengal just some of the states where there are protests but the reasons driving people to protest are different let's begin with assam which shares a border with bangladesh and residents have long complained of illegal migration from bangladesh. so we do not want a son to do this identity and overdo it and overwhelmed by the external powers they started forcing an extended people coming from bangladesh because we know that we will become the minority in our own and now listen to what is motivating another protester to raise hope voice against the bill i think people have come out in large numbers because they understand how this government is damaging the fabric of the country hindu muslims everybody are equal we want that equality we want to move

to was good equality among speed different sections of this so 2 different reasons for protest against the same act there missed out on our you've not joined me from mumbai she was herself at one of these protests were not welcome thank you for making the time now in most parts of india this act is being viewed as and the secular and anti muslim but that's not the case in the northeastern state of assam why's that. that's true because the northeast instead of a sever some more nuanced argument because the knot these days has been you know has all these side issues with my korean population in a sound but it's an issue all the bangle and he was is the non-bank. those large magnets am from the board was somebody at the scene that it's always been a more ethnic issue as opposed to just assume that what we are seeing in the country at this point that was more of a i think muslim os and it was instilled by the government so assad was killed in it's on the issue which should not be in the book is that what is happening right

now in a country which is basically of the opposition a majority in bill burton by the government isn't it in its reference to this being that the un called it quote a fundamentally discriminatory in nature that is how the u.n. deferred to this but not doesn't the government have the prerogative to decide which are persecuted communities it wants to extend protection to. listen got 8 mr all the different aside but this is not the government's problem to change the constitution of india and that is not a not for discrimination on the basis of race sex plus religion and that's exactly what indian government is doing right now if it. was going to minorities why it has spent countries like myanmar. was every day and a lot of the minorities are now in public and how do you have a very very. tiny opposition of course of the day in delhi and the indian

government to put them out of the country so the guns it's basically it's it's it's basically still being a majority in sentiment in the country by saying that this country does not belong to muslims and it also has to be seen in conjunction with the national. presence which basically. the interest of my as citizens across the country which is already deal is divisive since in the northeast of citizenship amendment but not in conjunction with the national interest citizens and which is why it makes it discriminates and i'm muslim bill which has been brought in by the by the indian parliament and that's very very leave it for the time being thank you so much for speaking to us from mumbai thank you. media trying to use the more than 6 months of protest in hong kong as new terrorism fanned by external forces leading the charge have been lucky state controlled

outlets which reflect the official line of the chinese government but it's the voices of the ordinary citizens on the mainland that are missing one man has made it his mission to give them a platform despite the censorship and control china exercises. after lunch i changed into a new set of clothes covered my face with a black mask and merged into the stream of black people. do i know why hong kong people are protesting i'm very clear about that do i know the risk of participating in these protests as a mainlander very clearly yes if i get arrested i would likely be sent back to the mainland where i might simply evaporate into thin air nobody would see me alive again and if i died nobody would ever see my body. the testimony from china's mainland in support of the hong kong protests one of the voices the chinese government is trying to silence this man who cause i'm so mid-way dude is

trying to make them who. he was born on the mainland as well. i know that there are people in china who love democracy who love freedom and who support hong kong but with the current situation they cannot speak out. because he's afraid of retribution and has relatives on the mainland midway dude cannot reveal his identity he grew up on the mainland and moved to hong kong at a young age it was here he started questioning that nationalism he was raised with little by little he grew to support on kwame's democracy movement. when you've gotten to know freedom it's very hard to go back to a situation where you don't have any freedom at all. mainlanders who support hong kong's protests might be a minority but midway do things they should be heard they can submit their story to

him via an anonymous form then he posts them on twitter and is clogged even he himself does not know their identity because this project tree hole in chinese legend the place people will spend their secrets into. there is a trend in china in recent years that your colleagues your friends even your family members all students will report you to the old florida keys. they think you are not nationalistic enough they think your betraying your country. these past 10 years i've seen with my eyes wide open how my favorite comics t.v. shows and books were banned and have disappeared from the shelves in mainland china i saw how the best opinion leaders were arrested or silenced. i said nothing and i did nothing now i regret that i deeply regret that. that's why i cannot bear to see this happen again. this guy truly has

courage he lives up to his words and he walks the talk i have great respect for this. he has received over 200 messages so far 200 little signs of dissent from a country where it's different opinion can be a crime. mesut ozil is of the center of a political storm after posting comments critical of china social media. to china's policies against good muslim minority and cold. on muslims around the world to speak out the comments have been met with a furious reaction to trying to chinese government documents show that we are being forcibly held. in the region where they undergo political indoctrination and torture. and says they are part of a drive to terrorism. for more.

than that's the rich what exactly did. so he posted quite a lengthy statement on his social media camp some facebook twitter instagram and those accounts he has over 76000000 followers so a very wide reach and in his statement he accuses china of serious abuses against its we are muslim minority when in khurana killing muslim clerics forcing we women to marry ethnic chinese men so a very strong political statement directed at china and there are also other parts of the post that beijing could view as a provocation. is the name east turkistan to refer to china. and he is a c.m. an image of the east turkistan flag and both of these are used by separatists engine jiang who are pushing for independence from china and posted this statement in turkish not english so it may have been directed at a turkish audience but with

a statement like this it was banned to get global attention and what is the reaction to this so it immediately sparked outrage on social media in china have funds arsenal have posted images pictures and videos of themselves destroying their arsenal kits their arsenal jerseys and so on. of course the club in the english premier league moved very fast into damage control is posted a statement on weibo the chinese social media platform saying that those comments were his own personal opinion and that the club does not get involved in politics but there have already been repercussions for arsenal in china it's much on sunday which was supposed to be live broadcast on c.c.t.v. the state broadcaster that was pulled today the global times that's a newspaper which is seen as a mouthpiece for the government in beijing it ran an editorial and it said that.

ruined his image in china among funds in china and it also said that there will be implications for arsenal and those implications could be very costly because arsenal it has commercial interests in china sponsorship deals partnership deals it even has its own chain of restaurants so very lucrative interests stop. could fall away and we already saw this back in october with the n.b.a. the u.s. boss the bullied one of the general managers there he tweeted support for the protesters in hong kong but did not go to and while in china the n.b.a. is still trying to repair the financial damage there. are already at the next village thanks so much for that. that's a fall we need to know with the pictures of 4 times across india is the new citizenship amendment act thank you for watching.
