Today over 1000 #Hongkongers in London marched from Downing St to Chinese Embassy to protest against the peaceful protester #BobChan being beaten up by the Chinese diplomat at the China consulate in Manchester last week.
We have shown great determination, marching in rainstorm👇🏻
Break:
U.K. Government says that the U.K. will expect China to waive diplomatic immunity so to that, if police thinks there are chargeable offences, officials involved in #BobChan beating can be prosecuted, and if they do not there will be “serious diplomatic consequences”.
Recently created Twitter account appears attempting to exculpate the Chinese Consulate in #HKBob saga with heavily edited video splicing material clearly gathered mainly through Consulate CCTV.
Wonder who’s behind the account 🤔
#INCIDENT | We’re investigating an assault following a protest outside the Chinese Consulate in #Manchester yesterday.
A man was dragged into the Consulate grounds & assaulted.
Due to our fears for the safety of the man officers intervened to remove him & prevent further harm.
