Any use of force should be exceptional and only in compliance with international standards, including the principles of necessity and proportionality, U.N. human rights spokeswoman Marta Hurtado told a Geneva briefing. Lam said a ban on face masks would take effect on Saturday under the emergency laws that allow authorities to “make any regulations whatsoever” in whatever they deem to be in the public interest.

EmergencyRegulationsOrdinance was highly limited freedom of HongKongers, and it should not apply when now the society is relatively stable!
Pls pass MagnitskyAct to save hkers from humanitarian crisis !

Murderer! AntiMaskLaw
Thanks, UN but sadly HK people's right to protest and assembly are further restricted. People wear masks because of the fear of white terror and retaliation from the police and government. AntiMaskLaw will now stop HK people to fight for the rights that were belonged to us
Shouldn't people have the right to monitor its government and speak against it? Why should Hongkongers face severe legal consequence in addition to the threat of the hkpolicebrutality, when all the HKpolice are lethally armed, masked and uncontrolled?
Apart from freedom of assembly, EmergencyLaw allows HK gov to pass any laws that infringe any human rights, such as freedom of information and private property rights! This is far more dangerous! StandWithHongKong
UN, Please take action to the suppression to freedom and human rights from CCP
We must defend it ourselves now AntiMaskLaw HongKongProtest
People should have the right to speak up and have freedom from fear! Yet, the tyranny HK govt and the CCP want to suppress ppl's voice and want our absolute obedience to them 🙄
In freedom we trust!
HK gov starts to diminish our freedom of assembly, who knows what will be the next? May be freedom of speech, freedom of reading/ writing anti-gov materials, freedom of transfer our own asset. That’s horrible future which made us feel frustrated
Please help HK, don't let HK loss its freedom and justice.🙏
But now, the police and gov limited the freedom of speech. Police beat up people asking questions for police action, and accuse illegal assembly for family with 4 years old kid playing in a park after dinner time 5DemandsNot1Less
CarrieLam banned all peaceful assembly, wearing mask is the only means to protect our identities from PoliceTerrorism. But CarrieLam introduced AntiMaskLaw to further rape our freedom soshk

Asking CCP for freedom of assembly? Maybe UN should have voiced out to its fellow member China about Human Rights first. HongKongProstests
the Gov is trying to put the blame on protestor re shutting down HK normal activities, instead of putting effort in addressing ppl's concern. Really feel sad that HK is lead by such incompatible dinosaurs.StandWithHongKong hkpolicebrutality

Yes Hong Kong is an international city, protected by basic laws on our freedom of speech and assembly and a lot more. But these have been eaten away day by day by the Hong Kong gov and Chinese gov. Are you going to help?
Anti-mask law is only the starter. When draconian laws is manipulated by Carrie Lam and the CCP boss behind the scene. It is sarcastic that it is now Carrie Lam said “If i burn, hongkong burn with me”. She is damaging HK she said she love so much for god’s sake.
EmergencyRegulationsOrdinance is not only banning freedom of assembly, but also...

In the future, CCP and Carrie Lam can use the Emergency Law to establish the concentration camp for Hong Kong people who support democracy and freedom. Just like Xinjiang~~~
Thankyou for the effort
But in reality, HKgov is giving less and less freedom to HKers, thats why we have to break the law: protest is now charged as illegal assembly. And more, AntiMaskLaw ban the right to wear a mask, how ridiculous HKgov can be.
UN please launch an investigation on the Hong Kong Government and Hong Kong Police

No more freedom of aseembly in Hong Kong.The government stop the train service. No matter the assembly have letter of No Objection or not, police still use excessive force. After10.4, martialLawInHongKong.
Having assembly in HK has to apply the 'Letter of No Objection' from police. However, the police has already refused to give out the permission in these days.
EmergencyRegulationOrdinance from Carrie Lam is tiring to force self-censorship to every journalist in HongKong .
FreedomOfAssembly What is the meaning to respect the laws when the gov disrespect it? When not all citizens are treated equally in front of the basic law, is it still a respectable law? The cops can hide their identity and do whatever they want, like shooting at journalists
🇭🇰 needs more than words.
No more freedom of assembly, the police never approve assembly. They don’t want public to go for illegal assembly StandWithHongKong HongKongProtests
Protesters must respect views opposed to theirs, and not attacked and beat up dissenting public.

But not by allowing masked people in the crowd....these are not necessarily...Rosa parks didn't cover her face when she got on the bus people
Agree. Should protect freedom of assembly, but not assembly with mask.
What do you call freedom? A Western journalist closed a door in front of a guy like a jackal. Your journalist?
Hypocrisy alive.
HONG KONG can not protect HONG KONG :) I think there is a fundamental misunderstanding there :)
