Reportedly, many Hong Kong protesters are giving up in despair on seeing the arbitrary power that China is imposing on Hong Kong.

China can accused anyone of a "national security crime", which means anything China wants it to mean, and the trial will be conducted by puppet judges chosen by China.

Hong Kongers struggled so valiantly, hoping that China would be dissuaded from blatantly crushing Hong Kong's autonomy, or else that China would pay a price for doing so. They did not attain the first. Let's help them attain the second.
