sophie that is a pretty chilling assessment that we just heard there from nathan law we know that there's been a lot of condemnation from western governments of what is happening in hong kong does that have any impact. well although the charges that the knight defendants facing are not the most serious ones the national security offenses that could put the people behind bars for life but these fakers they are very symbolic that will definitely try on. global attention and pressure from the rest and country back in turn to turn to you when i defend this were arrested for these charges are u.s. and many major western governments have already expressed condemnation against the prosecution and this quote being the crackdown but of course. we are expecting about today's ruling will be any other sign for them to reassess hong kong's latest political situation and maybe that will reflect in their foreign policies are on hong kong and maybe china in china as well so but on the other hand of course beijing honk honk governments are insisting that they are just acting according to the law and we ar

the hong kong democracy activist nathan law says he has been granted asylum in britain after fleeing the territory following the introduction of sweeping chinese security laws. under the national security law, if you say something that the chinese communist party doesn't like they see it as breaching national security. if you chant a slogan about the protest, you're likely to be submitted under the law and you could face up to life in prison or charge of being extradited back to china. so this is a severe political charge, it is basically a speech crime, a thought crime. therefore, a lot of hong kong people feel like their freedoms are being quashed under the law. we have been seeing protesters in hong kong fully out of the city. many of them actually don't have a passport like me so they had to apply for asylum. and i think my example could set up a reference for the government to look up these applications and try to facilitate a smooth journey for them so that protesters in hong kong can act free of the threats of the chinese comments party, and have a safe spot for them to thrive
