Hong Kong protesters have promised more demonstrations this weekend after Beijing announced its plan to bypass the local legislature and enact national security laws.
In a Telegram app broadcast seen by over 40,000 users, several frontline protester groups jointly urged both peaceful and “valiant” demonstrators to gather in the streets this Sunday in response to the draft law. “Valiant” refers to groups willing to confront the police and take action on the frontlines.
“Hongkongers have ultimately been confronted with questions about our future. Narratives about independence and establishing a state elsewhere have cropped up,” the statement read. “We should have fewer but better protests in the streets to prevent the government from misrepresenting each demonstration as regular clashes… we wish them to be wary of our resistance.” It said the march, set to take place on Hong Kong Island at 1pm, must show the international community that Hongkongers have steadfast determination in the fight for democracy.
Demonstrators are set to gather at two starting points – SOGO department store in Causeway Bay and Wanchai’s Southorn Playground.
