The trial of 47 people accused of violating the “Hong Kong National Security Law (NSL)” and “conspiring to subvert state power” because of their involvement in the pro-democracy primary election, is continuing. Following last weekend’s multi-country show of solidarity with the accused, more than 100 Hongkongers marched, rallied, and stood silently in central London on April 23 to support the accused in the primary election case, and demanded the release of all political prisoners, calling on the public to pay more attention to the situation in Hong Kong.
Yesterday’s event was part of a joint campaign by overseas Hongkongers in Europe, America, Australia, and Canada to promote the “No Guilt in the Primary Election—Joint Action in Support of the 47 Case in Hong Kong.” More than a hundred demonstrators first gathered under Waterloo Bridge and gave a speech, and then marched along the Thames in the rain, passing through Westminster Bridge until Parliament Square.
