A militarized response to the protests. Libyas u. N. Recognized government says its taken complete control of the capital after months of fighting against the wall huffed are. Based in hong kong urging large crowds to despise to prevent a spread of coronavirus theyve been gathering on the 31st anniversary of the channel and square massacre in defiance of a ban hong kong is the only place in china with a public memorial to the victims i can live vigils been held in the citys Victoria Park every year since 1990 but this year protesters had to break through barriers to hold the rally hong kongs legislature criminalised insulting chinas National Anthem is seen as another sign of beijings growing control over Hong Kong Sarah clarke is live for us in Hong Kong Sarah when we were speaking about an hour ago you were saying that at the protests there was really no sign of any Security Forces whats been happening since then. It was something about 3000. 00 place that were deployed across the city but they surrounded that particular area Victoria Park which is where this huge catholic the jewel is held every year for the people of hong kong to pay their respects to those who lost their lives fighting for democracy in Tiananmen Square in 989. 00 but as for the people who attended not we had thousands who defied that police ban and the government in for so social distancing rules the covert 19 simply basically saying any gatherings larger than 8 are illegal but those people to fire that Victoria Park that area was sealed off earlier but people entered the park after they vowed to keep come across the gathering and we had this candlelight vigil we had a one minute silence but we also had a number of people chanting slogans like Free Hong Kong one hong kong one country and we also had a number of flags calling for independence which was scattered across this gathering tonight now we the police are now calling for those people to leave we believe most people have left or are leaving Victoria Park but weve had a number of people gather in another area in hong kong not as long caught and as a result the right place at least 100 have moved there and the now making arrests that area often does tend to go a bit rogue after the other more peaceful protests have finished at the moment we believe those people are also leaving that particular location but the organizers of this annual vigil which has been going on for 31 years their concern about the future of these large demonstrations what weve seen tonight a last resort about 180000 tonight on thursday we saw far less simply because of those social distancing rules and people are concerned about being issued large fines for being in large gatherings but they gatherings or certainly the National Security laws which china has put in place in hong kong which will come into effect later this year the concern is that china might start targeting some of these large demonstrations and political dissidents who attend these demonstrations mentioning earlier that insulting chinas National Anthem has no be criminalised by hong kongs legislature on how have people been reacting to that. Well people are angry about this weve seen protests for weeks over these particular National Anthem laws its a controversial war thats being introduced in hong kong which criminalizes the mocking of chinas National Anthem now this particular law it was introduced last year but the government withdrew it because it was concerned that was fueling more antigovernment anger during the months of demonstrations we saw in 2019 but carol lam has always said she will prioritize this particular bill she wanted this passed and last week she reintroduced it and today we had a vote but we also saw some kind of like scenes with or 2 of the prodemocracy lawmakers throw liquid across the china and that was a key tactic to try and disrupt or delay the debate but in the end of the vote was passed we had 41 people supported we had one person one of the lawmakers rejected and of course all the prodemocracy lawmakers there and boycotted that but the concern is that the chinese National Anthem or the critics this particular laws they are forced patriotism and its an impingement on hong kongs freedoms and democracy.
