‘We Shall Not Surrender,’ Says Hong Kong Activist After Arrest

Hong Kong activists Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow spoke to the news media after being arrested by the police and released on bail.

“Joshua and I were arrested at our home this morning of participating — and he’s organizing — and I was participating in an unauthorized assembly on the 21st of June this year. We can, we can see very clearly that the regime and the Hong Kong government is trying to create a white terror to try to scare Hong Kong people to not to participate in the social movement and in the democratic movement in the future.” “All we ask for is just to urge Beijing and Hong Kong government: Withdraw the bill, stop police brutality and respond to our calls on free election. We shall not surrender and I urge international communities to send a clear message to President Xi, sending troops or using emergency ordinance is not the way out. We will continue our fight no matter how they arrest and prosecute us.”
