Democracy is not descent it is decent. Long road to freedom when we speak our mind on election days we have the right to vote for who we want and the right to not tell others who we voted for or why.
It is disappointing to see the human collective act in china against the people of Hong Kong. If you are a good people why do bad things.
If you are not part of the solution you might be part of the problem.
I’m not saying that the electric can not get into each and everyone one of us I am only awake at 03:39 because I am having dream/nightmare that the devil is after me.
Hong Kong: High-profile democracy activists arrested

Police in Hong Kong have arrested 15 of some of the city’s most high-profile pro-democracy activists.
The group includes 71-year-old media tycoon Jimmy Lai as well as a number of prominent lawmakers.
They are accused of organising, taking part in or publicising unauthorised assembles during last year’s mass protests in the Chinese territory.
They are due to appear in court next month.
The government has not explained the high-profile arrests but they come days after Beijing’s most senior official in the city called for a new security law to deal with dissent.
Before the coronavirus outbreak, Hong Kong had witnessed almost weekly demonstrations against a proposal to allow extraditions to the Chinese mainland.
While that was later abandoned, the protests morphed into demands for greater democracy and less control from Beijing, and anger against the government remains.
Who was arrested?
Media tycoon Jimmy Lai runs the Apple Daily newspaper, which is frequently critical of the Hong Kong and Chinese leadership.
Mr Lai, who was estimated by Forbes in 2009 to be worth $660m (£512m), was also arrested in February this year on charges of illegal assembly and intimidation.
Democratic Party founder and barrister Martin Lee, 81, was another prominent figure to be detained.
The 81-year-old – who is known as the father of Hong Kong democracy – said he was “very much relieved” by his arrest, according to AFP news agency.
“For so many years, so many months, so many good youngsters were arrested and charged, while I was not arrested. I feel sorry about it,” he added.
