patrick is from amnesty international hong kong, andi is from amnesty international hong kong, and ie. i hope you can hear me ok. tell me your thoughts in terms of what you are saying. like many others, ijoined the mass protest this afternoon in hong kong. and what happened afterwards was something very unfortunate, because the hong kong government's lack of response led to people resorting to extreme measures, and that makes people very angry and several times people very angry and several times people were quite worried whether people were quite worried whether people would stay and that would make the police treated like a riot and remove them. now luckily we see the dispersal was ok but of course the dispersal was ok but of course the police used tear gas. the situation that we see now, in the past it has been so many demands, concrete demands, made by the hong kong public, by a number of people joining different occasions of protest, but the government's response has been very evasive, still making only very vague comments, and also other demands, we are especially concerned abo

right thank you so much francisco bill maher from amnesty international here in germany greatly appreciate it. next we turn our attention to hong kong where more than 40 people have appeared in court they're charged with rioting at a protest on sunday with a largely peaceful pro-democracy demonstration that turned violent when thousands of activists clashed with police the protests have been going on for nearly 2 months but this is the 1st time that authorities have charged people with rioting something pro-democracy activists strongly object to all defendants could face up to 10 years in prison if found guilty. they entered the courthouse carrying umbrellas the unofficial symbol of hong kong's protest movement the citizens have been charged with rioting for taking part in protests that have pitted the people against the government and beijing their supporters thronged outside the courthouse crying foul. but there is some open systems just people should be accountable to all good people but now the government is using the law to write for a peaceful protest i say followed as both passed and then the arrest was and then toss everythi
