Human rights And, and freedom. Yes. We cannot accept any more. The Hong Kong police (does) not work for Hong Kong people any more. They are (working) for China. No, we cannot accept that. We need to be different.""Carrie Lam has been hiding. She has made many promises but she has not been able to fulfil them. There is no sign she is going to fulfil them."There were also protests by a group representing Hong Kong journalists, claiming the police have targeted reporters with excessive force.In response, the police said they respect press freedom and their right to report and will train police officers to understand the work of the media.
