For more lets speak to democratic spondon phebe kong who joins me now from hong kong with mall f. E. B. A. You were covering the police raids on monday that led to those arrests what is the mood today amongst prodemocracy supporters as in hong kong. The those teeny lion as the activists arrested on monday and now or are released but we have know that they are only free on bail so which news so far as he didnt believe them and compass in the way the investigation is still underway so the detainment and also the arrest in any other session operation on monday to send a chilly but the closest city specially to activists who. Consider themselves to consider themselves as some might high risk like group life so they fear that i may be the next one to be a rat but we see like citizens and us especially a prodemocracy movement support us and post has their say a using peaceful way to pull support and also a consent site to us the latest situation in hong kong with what some call people are calling for each other as a pie apple daily newspaper like the hot cup you regularly every patient show their support and all we also see that there are many podium ocracy elko protests as merchandise and and and the shops they place a threat assessment on apple a the newspaper does show support so to me and i and other asses as i say we have to take a look at some of 6 ounces like this is saying the support and this is saying that we can use money to buy goods but we dont you know we tend to use money to buy c. D. s so with them anymore Something Like on the newspapers show that support life from now they will all look applied in hong kong youre talking about socalled hard risk groups other for democracy figures oh my dear i stood a lot of them have in fact fled the city to escape the for reasons of the new sokoto prominent amongst them and if im not for example who has fled to the u. K. I wonder if the prodemocracy movement in the city now stands weakened. But definitely there are a lot of ways in that we can see it posthaste especially. Because off the newly enacted National Security law people feel way too risky to take to the streets again as they could be easily times ahead on the streets and the charges relating to less soco in the validation of National Security and also hong kong is still imposing a serious opposite sex sense because anglo social distancing rules and to bend public gatherings so its very hard for like people at local level to gather on the state t. V. Kong and hong kong thank you so much for that. Before this new security law was implemented hong kongs prodemocracy activists were facing a challenge from a different law one related to rioting which carries a maximum sentence of 10 years some 600. 00 protesters were charged last year during the government protests among them the couple featured in this next report they were eventually acquitted of the charge but not before it had impacted their lives in profound ways. This couple has gone through the toughest challenges and they are now ready to rebuild their lives. But just a month ago their fate as a couple was very uncertain henry tong and elaine tov worked as fitness coaches at the gym and hong kong their dream career and life. Until last year when Police Arrested the couple at a proto mock receive protest and charge them with rioting they thought they were going to jail for potentially up to 10 years. To get there what to me the most is i couldnt see my dog if im sent to jail and i couldnt see him if we were both put into jail we couldnt see each other anymore. We could only write letters to each other. Henry made a photo book for elaine so she could always remember their story if they were to be separated by a prison boss it holds a lot of precious memories including their wedding last year celebrated just food days after the couple was released from jail. It cost a shadow over the happy day but the couple says they dont regret joining the protests might they know why oh its no responsibility to speak out for injustice and for the future when i look back at my life what made me proud i really think that even though i was arrested im still proud. Just. Like that you know. Henry in the lane project the rioting charge they say they were providing 1st aid to people who had been tear gassed by police. And finally on the day after verdict relief after a very long and emotionally draining Court Process i saw a priest a sigh of relief as our emotions almost collapsed before the verdict we were really happy when the judge announced we were acquitted with the what i thought i saw. A couple of grateful that theyll be able to Stay Together but several 100 others who are still awaiting their verdicts are going through similar Emotional Turmoil hoping theyll get unhappy and like henry and elaine.
