Rival Rally Urges Consulates Not To Interfere

Around a hundred people, calling themselves as a group of Hong Kong citizens, marched on Friday to the US, UK and Germany consulates as well as the EU office to hand in petition letters, urging foreign countries to stop interfering in Hong Kong's internal affairs.

A spokesman of the protesters, Jason Lam, said he disagrees with the group of people who marched to several foreign consulates on Wednesday, asking for US and other countries to "liberate" Hong Kong.

He said he believes that they do not represent the views of all Hong Kong people, and foreign interference is not acceptable.

A participant of the protest, who refused to give his name, said the anti-extradition law protesters lack knowledge of the bill.

He said he thinks the law amendment itself has no problem and people should be confident with the judicial system on the mainland.

He said the mainland is improving day by day and people should not worry.

The group had assembled in Chater Garden and then marched to the various consulates.

On Wednesday, anti-extradition bill protesters had gone to 18 different consulates and the EU office to present letters, urging the countries to raise Hong Kong's issue with President Xi Jinping during the G20 summit.
