As an antigovernment demonstration in iraqs capital intensifies the countrys new Prime Minister made good on his decision to free people who were detained during previous protests its one of these 1st decisions following his inauguration last week the judiciary ordered the courts to release the demonstrators. Predecessor eduardo law he was forced from office by months of often violent antigovernment demonstrations the protesters are calling for Better Living conditions and a complete overhaul of the political system while our correspondents are one of 14 as with the protesters she says they have no intention of giving up before they see real change. The barricades on top of the republican race are once again teeming with hundreds of demonstrators and what is the largest gathering here since march when the curfew to stem the spread of coronavirus 1st impulse now this comes just days after my father proud of me was the point that iraqs new Prime Minister and it comes just the day after he announced several important decisions in an apparent effort to try to mend the rift between the protesters and the new government he announced the release of all of the protesters who have been detained and took over and perhaps even more importantly he and now that he would be in a general. At the head helm of the Counterterrorism Forces now. As a war hero and his the commitment that. You know is a matter of faith and of mismanagement and corruption is one of the triggers that led many people to take the street for what the problem is trying to do is to address some of the root causes of the grievances of the demonstrators but look people here are saying that they wont march on and that they feel. They want Better Services demands of course cannot be addressed over night but most importantly their. Complete overhaul of the political the fender think that simply changing the head of state is not enough they want the Political Parties they see as being responsible for many of the countrys problems to also go away and until then theyre determined to stay and to keep demonstrating well for one protest to another and riot police in hong kong have broken up demonstrations then launched in several major shopping malls the protest movement has resumed as coronavirus restrictions eased but demonstrators gathered in large groups ignoring social distancing requirements many were calling for independence from china protesters against protests against beijings and phones and hong kong have now been taking place for more than a year. David pollan was among the protesters. At the beginning they were trying but eventually they made their way into these stropping malls and gathered in groups and as you can see here behind me on the railings people just gather around them and start chanting slogans against the police again phone call governments and for more democracy and universal suffrage but as soon as right police come they all dispersed very quickly whats making it very difficult for police to discern who is a protester and who is just a regular shopper this is one of the main shopping malls in the city is the fact that everyone in hong kong is wearing a face mask due to the government advice to help fight the corona Virus Outbreak so protesters easily mingle in which shoppers and so while the other issue here also i must say is the fact that protesters are also being fined under the social distancing measures that is quite a complicated situation for police can just pretty much throw perhaps a group like this more than 8 people a fine of 250. 00 u. S. Dollars each and these protesters are are its the seeing young people that we saw last year in the big movement and many of them are young they are students and they cannot afford these fines for their somehow trying to get around this so this is hong kong trying to start its protest movement in the era of social distancing. While some protesters say that Hong Kong Police are using social distancing you know as to crackdown on civil liberties. In the midst of the coronavirus the government has imposed restrictions on gathering and turned it into a crackdown on freedom of assembly not only for the human rights of citizens but also for other religious activities i think this is a gross violation of human rights while we can speak now to joseph chang he is a political scientist and also a prodemocracy campaign and he joins us now from Hong Kong Joseph youve been involved in these demonstrations for some time now can you tell me whats changed for you in the way that people are protesting. Well in the past several months last q protests or kitties could not be all that nice because of the and deadly and there is so so distancing rules the process gatherings this sunday today. And indeed kate that a protestant has was soon organized large you have to get these in the coming months because of servo problem and dates to come right to fall for late into the Tiananmen Square in sudan to lie to 1st any verse real problems be durned to china on june 9th and june 16th any bursaries of the massive protest rallies last year and so on basically to prove them ocracy move one remains angry and dissatisfied because to carry land in session has been adopting to strategy all no dialogue no concessions no negotiations. Is if you will serious to meet the demands of the people more all for the government has been tightening. Is crackdown on the prodemocracy movement of the new interpretation of basic of the basic law run it into Central Liaison Office that is the agents of going to in hong kong a supervisory role over the territory as well as reinterpretation reinterpreting the ground rules of the Legislative Council soledad the bill a serviceman can can easily be brought there filibustering at 1st on the part of the opposition joseph i do want to ask you because im looking at these videos and people in them are clearly a violating social distancing guidelines and as someone who is involved with this campaign you not concerned that trying to continue the movement with physical gatherings at the moment is actually putting Peoples Health at risk. Well from the protesters point of view they are saying the police has been deed line peoples right to protest and to demonstrate. They would argue they have been informed of the. Rules i mean they clearly have. We seen that they we see that they are clearly not actually following social distancing guidelines were seeing larger groups groups larger than 8 people standing very close to each other people gathering in these shopping malls is there not a concern that theyre trying to do anything like this could actually jeopardize the health of people. Yes i agree but i think the protesters are getting very impatient and they are ready to pay the price so to speak they understand that they may face arrest. Are they may have to accept fines. Sinus notices issued by the police of the lethal sayang is around 250 your star as the mood is certainly a confrontation oh. Are well most of the protesters are ready to disperse at the command of the police there might be some very small scale and yet stupidest full confrontational gestures between the protesters and the police but the concern is what you have because there has been no of reconciliation at 1st mate on both sides and one expects more confrontations more protests rarely used to come especially in the middle of the lead to save you from so he elections to be held this year of course and will continue to be watching that very same day joseph chang there a personal scientist and prodemocracy campaign speaking to us from hong kong thank you sir for joining us on out of there thank you now south koreas president says theres no reason to panic after a new corona Virus Outbreak in seoul linked to nightclubs j.
