Bay Area Chinese Support Hong Kong Residents in Opposing Basic Law Article 23 Legislation (Photos)


(Clearwisdom.net)

From 11 am to 2 pm on December 14, 2002, the "Global Coalition Against Article 23 Legislation" assembled a large-scale rally and parade in the rain in San Francisco Chinatown's Garden Corner Park, supporting the Hong Kong Anti-Article 23 parade on December 15, 2002.

On September 24, 2002 the Hong Kong government published a consultation document for Article 23 legislation. It immediately caused concerns and protests in the international community. At the same time, many Chinese organizations in various countries spoke out to support the people of Hong Kong's basic human rights and freedom.

Some Bay Area Falun Gong practitioners also attended the parade. A Falun Gong representative spoke at the rally and called on all overseas Chinese to work together to protect the human rights and legal system of Hong Kong, and to stop the Article 23 legislation.
