香港で大規模なデモ
香港で1日、議会で審議中の反政府活動を規制する法案に反対する市民らが参加して、大規模なデモが起きた。
Hong Kong rocked by huge protest rally against anti-subversion bill
HONG KONG (AP) - A huge protest against an anti-subversion bill July 1 highlighted deep fears among the public that it could erode Hong Kong's freedoms.
The demonstration was Hong Kong's biggest since a million people took to the streets in outrage and fear after China used troops to crush the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement in Beijing on June 4, 1989.
Numerous Hong Kongers worry an anti-subversion law will undermine freedoms of speech, press and assembly. They see the proposed measure as a betrayal of the "one country, two systems" government system - allowing Hong Kong to keep some Western-style civil liberties - promised at the Hong Kong handover from Britain to China on July 1, 1997.
An anti-subversion law is required under Article 23 of Hong Kong's so-called mini-constitution. Many believe the proposed law goes too far, with life prison sentences for many crimes against the state, and fear it will lead to mainland-style repression of dissenting viewpoints, a worry the Hong Kong government calls groundless.
