I led the 'Umbrella' protests - Witness History podcast, BBC World Service

[@vanessalo177]

There are many political prisoners in Hong Kong. Don't forget them !

[@stevey9282]

Just like Julian assange snowden, and many unaccounted for!!! Don’t BULLSHIT HERE! Own backyard bloody mess! The WORLD had enough of all these BULLSHIT - IDIOTS!!!

[@bragbounce9179]

They are not!

[@tkeisuke]

They are. If you think they aren’t, you are sorely mistaken.

[@marionplaza4240]

List their full names then. Hahaha. All talk no action 😂😂

[@chaopioneer]

Give me your money and I will let them free and go to England.

[@lepetitchat123]

He's so well spoken now. Glad to see him grow into an eloquent young man.

[@AppleDailyFriends]

Thanks so much Nathan and BBC. Thanks so much Nathan who spends his own life to contribute Hong Kong and democracy. Glory to Hong Kong.

[@TheKkpop1]

Wrecking HK, loyal to Britain. What a contribution to the former colonial master.

[@Siulun44]

It really hurt me a lot. Time flies, 10 year.

[@YHChan-s8w]

Thank you very much BBC

[@billpetersen298]

Keep these stories alive. Teach others, and the algorithms.

[@YHChan-s8w]

Glory to Hong Kong

[@TheKkpop1]

Down the colonial occupation!!!

[@dhdarr]

光復香港

[@erikalin3782]

Can't believe it was 10 years.

[@vincentli1008]

5：45 Wrong. Not handed "back", but handed "over". PRC is no successor of Qing Dynasty. HK was established 100 years before the PRC. Thanks for this episode, Anoushka, Nathan!

[@kaworuminamino8494]

I am afraid we need to use 100 years to fix the wrong information as CRP used 100 years to brain washed 1x million people including the HONGKONGER.

[@jrunhk]

so。Hong Kong should be return to ROC and not return to PRC.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@TheKkpop1]

HK is part of China.

[@fasa6027]

Thanks for everything 羅仔💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@LamCharHome]

Sad to see Hong Kong in decline after 2019

[@dhdarr]

It's so unfortunate, those like Nathan and others would be a respected leader in HK and representing the true will of HK people if not for strongarming by the CCP. Hope that HK will be liberated and that all the exiles will be able to return to lead their home.

[@Mskatli]

Thank you for all that you have done. I will never forget which country made HK one of the best cities in the world, and which country destroyed it within a few years

[@nutapril4560]

The June 4th massacre, the 2014 Umbrella Movement in HK, the recent repression on most democratic parties, the exile of so many young talents have to be repeated and remembered!

[@anjulamutanda2000]

Excellent work! I did not know this story-learned a lot!!

[@magicalworld6537]

Do u know about the history of Hong Kong? Such as why western countries (especially UK and USA) concern about it and why they always have a problem with China. If u don't know and don't mind, I can tell u briefly about it😁

[@je54131]

FREE HONGKONG

[@7pinky791]

Hong Kong is now free from the British imperialists, state sponsored drug pushers.

[@chuanj8964]

一晃十年，日子飞逝。自此，再无维园的烛光，东方明珠蒙尘。愿荣光再回香港。

[@OwenYang-dw4bf]

Oh, why don't you ask the residents in Hong Kong now?

[@Mskatli]

And what is the point?!?! When it is clear people in HK cannot speak their mind without consequences

[@virginiachan3543]

The person who lives at No. 10 Downing Street, before you go to please the CCP, please watch this clip.

[@constanceyip3579]

Never forget, Never forgive!

[@chrisyeong]

They did change the system. In a way, it's a resounding success.

[@Tom-is5ro]

thanks, BBC.

[@caspermok]

Thanks to all of you

[@puilau2287]

Imagine this happening in UK

[@jotin5743]

願榮光歸香港！

[@kaworuminamino8494]

Thanks BBC and Nathan Law. I have always been a fan of water. How can people understand what is happening and what to do next if the water detained in the tank? I hope all of the water can be released by earliest 2025.

2014 Umbrella revolution, not 2019

[@Joanne0728]

很遺憾，曾經是東方明珠的香港，少了民主自由，就像沒了靈魂。 😢

[@qq_qq_qq]

97前最多是自由，哪儿来的民主

[@passionpassion18]

more details ,much clearer

[@yourfavorite2655]

Impressive life u've had

[@Oldfogey2014]

Freedom to Hong Kong!

[@Ykssssss346]

Thank you BBC World Service

[@Guesswhokk]

YT channel: "China Uncensored" or google "UN resolution 2908 Hong Kong" - Basically an insert made by China to UN (or PRC, not ROC) and signed in 1972 that Hong Kong and Macau don't have the right for "Granting of Independence to Colonial Countries and Peoples"

[@chaopioneer]

Have you guys really thinking about issues: 1. If Hong Kong had democracy, why England retreated? Young Hong Konger, where were you? 2. If you are unfairly treated, then, where are you? in England? 3. Have any Chinese soilders or policemen involved in the event? For sure that England and American spies were supporting it. What you guys do? throw umbrella? 4. If Chinese government control you guys with violence and other illegal way, why are you in England? Good luck YongKong young men and women in England. Have a nice weekend.香港仔铺盖！

[@kelvintai5748]

One country, corrupted system !

[@elizabethlau644]

God bless all Hong Kongers..........especially those political prisoners now in Hong Kong. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@Aleavidsforu]

The BBC can't stop milking this, god😂

[@jamesyu4704]

This guy is a traitor period

[@Who-lg9my]

running away is cowards action leaving others, your friends and colleagues, to face jail, criminal record, no future

[@ditsygirl5409]

Politics have no right and wrong, it’s either you win and you get the final say or you lose. Even cowards can become a hero in politics if you win. Politics should be the last place to judge one’s moral. 😅

[@tkp-mp1el]

香港，加油❤

Unfortunately, hong kong has lost & china has won...

[@DemocracyIsBaal]

My best friend was the 70 cleaner was killed by the CIA manipulated rioters when they threw a brick to his head

[@Mikupigeon]

That old man was your friend? Well, he shouldn't have stood so close to the "combat zone" just because he wanted to take videos with his phone, he just put himself in a very dangerous position. If you look at the Hong Kong court documents, the "rioters" didn't start the fight, it was the mysterious "pedestrians" who attacked the rioters with weapons and throwing bricks. Were these rioters manipulated by the CIA? I can't say everyone who was involved was clear but what's certain is that the whole fiasco was not initiated by the CIA because majority of the people in HK were not happy about the extradition law in the first place, then shits happened and things just got escalated even without the CIA, you can't just blame CIA for the whole shit show.

[@DemocracyIsBaal]

@@Mikupigeon CIA and NED had been contacting and grooming the movement leaders for years.

[@DemocracyIsBaal]

@@Mikupigeon And you are missing the main point. A MURDERED YOUNG WOMEN AND HER UNBORN BABY IS DENIED JUSTICE BECAUSE OF THE CIA BACKED MOVEMENT. GOD HATES THOSE WHO DENY JUSTICE.

[@magicalworld6537]

How do u know they're "CIA manipulated"? Can I sue u for defamation for CIA?

[@Mikupigeon]

@@DemocracyIsBaal What I said was CIA manipulated leaders wasn't needed to start off this whole movement including the riot. Free press kind of still exist at that time, informed Hong Kongers knew what had happened back then.

[@dhdarr]

光復香港，時代革命

[@jrunhk]

時間轉眼五年。但一次運動。年輕人犧牲。離開。躺平。香港已經係一個死港。老齡化。年齡嚴重斷層。

Guilty as charged. Nobody wants bad apple except former colonial power.

It's been a long time though.

[@flizbo2357]

Not long at all.

Just 10 yrs and the consequences going on
