HONG KONG - Hong Kong protesters rallied outside diplomatic missions on Thursday to urge foreign governments to follow the United States in passing human rights bills to raise pressure on Beijing and support their pro-democracy campaign.
About 1,000 people, most of them dressed in black and wearing face masks, marched on a route that took them by the consulates of Australia, Britain, the European Union, the United States, Japan and Canada, to drop off a petition. The marchers’ petition called on governments to “stand with Hong Kong” by passing legislation to introduce visa sanctions and freeze assets of Chinese and Hong Kong government officials.
The U.S. legislation, which also threatens sanctions for human rights violations, came after similar “citizen diplomacy” petitions in Hong Kong this year to the U.S. consulate and has been cheered by protesters waving the stars and stripes flag. Thursday marks the 35th anniversary of a treaty between China and Britain on Hong Kong’s future, that set the stage for its 1997 handover.
Beijing denies interfering in Hong Kong and says it is committed to the “one country, two systems” formula put in place as a result of the 1984 treaty that guarantees a high degree of autonomy.

Hongkong is on the verge of break down because of the Chinese Communist Party's intervention to our system, rule of law and judicial independence. It has infiltrated our Legislature and government, abducting our people. There's no turning back for our fight. StandwithHongKong
In human history the fight for freedom is one of the greatest dynamics and this can take many forms, people of Hong Kong I'm with you in spirit FREE YOURSELF FROM THE OPPRESSOR
If they invest protesting time in improving themselves, they can move to UK or USA easily but now, they are wasting their youth. Hope they can think it over what they really want
