For English readers, here's an explanation of what's happening in Hong Kong :
On June 9, over 1 million Hong Kong people marched against the
proposed law amendment for China
extradition. There are a few major consequences if the bill is passed:
1. Hong Kong people will be vulnerable to extradition to China , which
has the power to make up and impose any crime charges upon us. If that happens,
we will likely face underground, non-transparent trials and be unfairly or even
inhumanely treated by China ,
and the Hong Kong Gov will have inadequate power to intervene and help us.
2. Hong Kong 's economy will be
severely affected. Foreign investors will be afraid of investing in Hong Kong, as
China
has the power to confiscate their assets if it considers them as criminals
(again, they can make up any crime charges).
Yet, after the million-people protest, the Hong Kong Gov completely
ignored its citizens' request and still decided to go ahead with the bill's
legislation process which will be put forward in a meeting held on Wednesday
morning.
Then, Hong Kong people from various
sectors, organizations, companies and schools discussed what else we could do
to stop the bill from being passed. Many decided to gather around the meeting
venue at night on June 11 and stay till 12 in order to prevent the meeting from being held.
Some organizations also gathered people to sing, worship and pray. Other
protesters plan on joining the gathering on June 12 morning, before the start
of the meeting.
However, the police have sent numerous troops to patrol the area and
randomly check people's identity card and search their bodies. Such kind of
action is not legitimate, as the police has no right to treat citizens as
criminals; their purpose is to create fear among citizens so that they will not
dare act against the legislation of the bill. Moreover, the police have mostly
targeted at teenagers. Even when people spoke up for the teens, the police
ignored them and even rudely told them to leave.
We are hoping that we'll be able to fight against the Gov's bill
with the united power of Hong Kong people.
This is the only way we can save the highly valued freedom that Hong Kong used to have. We desperately need all of your
support, please spread this to many more cities and countries. Thank you.

对于英文读者来说,这里是对香港发生的事情的解释:
1.香港人很容易被引渡到中国,中国有权对我们施加任何罪名。如果发生这种情况,我们可能会面临不公开不透明的审判,并受到中国的不公平甚至不人道对待,而香港政府也没有足够的权力对此进行干预和帮助。
2.香港经济将受到严重影响。外国投资者将害怕在香港投资,因为如果中国认为他们是犯罪分子(再次,他们可以被施加任何犯罪指控),中国有权没收他们的资产。
然而,在百万人抗议之后,香港政府完全无视公民的要求,仍然决定继续执行该法案的立法程序,该程序将在周三上午举行的会议上提出。
然后,来自不同界别,组织,公司和学校的香港人讨论了我们可以做些什么来阻止法案通过。许多人决定在6月11日晚上 聚集在会场,并一直待到12,以防止举行会议。一些组织还聚集人们唱歌,敬拜和祈祷。其他抗议者计划在会议开始前的6月12日上午 参加聚会。
然而,警方已派出大量军队巡逻该地区,并随机检查人们的身份证并搜查他们的身体。这种行为是不合法的,因为警方没有权利将公民视为罪犯;而他们的目的是在公民中制造恐惧,使他们不敢阻止该法案的立法。此外,警方主要针对青少年。即使人们为青少年说话,警察也会忽视他们,甚至粗鲁地警告他们离开。
我们希望能够与香港人团结一致,反对政府的该项法案。这是我们拯救香港曾经拥有的高度自由的唯一途径。我们迫切需要您的支持,请将其传播到更多城市和国家/地区。谢谢。
