先週日曜(9月8日)のものですが、中環(セントラル)地区で行われたデモの様子をお伝えしようと思います。
This was of on last Saturday but I want to report the demonstration held at 中環(Central) district in Hong Kong on 8th September.
この日のデモは、主にアメリカに向けられたもので、現在米国議会で揚げられている、香港の高度な自由を妨げた香港当局者を制裁対象にすることを盛り込んだ法案の早期の可決を訴えたものです。
The demonstration on 8th Sep was the massage for US. They demanded the quick approvement of the law, which is now under discussion at US Congress, that incliudes the prosecution to the Hong Kong authority when they disturb the high level freedom of Hong Kong people.
8日は中環(セントラル)地区の公園で集会が開かれた他、公園からアメリカ総領事館までの行進が行われました。参加者は数万人規模だったそうですが、中環駅の出入り口の一部やバリケードの一部が燃えたり、駅のガラスが割れたりするなど、過激な行動も見られました。
On 8th Sep, they held a meeting at the park in 中環(Central) district and made parades to US Consulate General. According the reports, tens of thousand people attended the parades. However there were some violent actions, some parts of barricades and exist of 中環 station were burned and some glasses of station were broken.
