Solidarity Night for Hong Kong Democracy – TOKYO, JAPAN

Hong Kong International Solidarity Event in Tokyo

Since the Hong Kong National Security Law was passed, people in HK have not been allowed to go on demonstration nor enjoyed freedom of speech.  However, people in the world do not forget that the HK people are still fighting against the China-baked HK Government for protecting democracy and freedom.
   
Asia Democracy Network (ADN) started the HK Solidarity Campaign by holding solidarity events in major cities in Asia such as Jakarta, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur. and New Delhi.  In Tokyo, JANIC along with Human Rights Watch and Human Rights Now are organizing  a virtual solidarity  event on the 18th of May.  This event is to raise awareness of the importance of democracy and human rights and to discuss what people in Japan can support the afflicted people in these countries and areas. So please join this solidarity event in Tokyo.
