區選,只是小勝。
永遠不要忘記失去的手足。

#HongKongProtests#FiveDemandsNotOneLess
Really great to see the massive surge in support for pro-democracy candidates in the #HongKongElections
The UK has a moral duty to #StandwithHK and backing the five demands is a big part of that.
The high voter turnout and our victory come at a cost... a rather heavy one... let's not forget the people who have sacrificed themselves to pave the way to freedom and democracy.

Hundreds have returned to the streets of Tsim Sha Tsui to chant :
“Five demands, not one less!”
“Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our ancestors,
praiseworthy and exalted above all forever;
And blessed is your holy and glorious name,
praiseworthy and exalted above all for all ages.”
Daniel 3:52
