Four pro-democracy lawmakers – Nathan Law, Leung Kwok-hung, Lau Siu-lai and Edward Yiu – were disqualified from their positions in the Hong Kong Legislative Council by a ruling issued by the High Court on Friday.
According to the ruling, the four legislators failed to take their oaths correctly during the Legco swearing-in ceremony last October 12, RTHK reported.
During the ceremony, Leung, nicknamed Long Hair, of the League of Social Democrats, chanted slogans ahead of his speech and was holding a yellow umbrella, a symbol of the 2014 Occupy movement.
The Demosisto party’s Law raised the pitch of his voice while reading the words “People’s Republic of China” as if he were raising a question. Lau, from Democracy Groundwork, read her oath extremely slowly, while Yim added a line about fighting for genuine universal suffrage to his oath.
The court said that through their actions, the four people failed to fulfill the requirements of “dignity” and “respect” during the oath-taking process.
The four said they would file an appeal against the court’s ruling, which stripped the pro-democracy camp of a key Legco veto power as a result. There now are 14 pan-democrats in geographical constituencies, compared with 16 pro-establishment lawmakers.
The court case was initiated by former chief executive Leung Chun-ying last December, following a similar one that disqualified Youngspiration’s Sixtus Leung and Yau Wai-ching from being Legco members last November.
These raucous pan democrats are nothing more than the front line soldiers of foreign hegemonic force. They are not interested in any measure that improve people’s livelihood, in fact they hope the society collapse under their pressure so they can be put up as the ruling agents for foreign hegemonic force to carry out more damage to the greater Chinese nation.Liu Xiaobo was their front man in China as can be seen from his speech after visiting HongKong. He said at that time China should follow HK to be ruled as colony under white men for three hundred years as Chinese have nothing suitable for self rule.
All the previous taunting by pan dem were for testing the civilian’s resistance to their future treacherous way of running a fascist regime under foreign tutelage. Many HK judges, police officials, government servants and the business public know they have connection to powerful foreign congressmen and senators that can threaten their future, the reason why these rascals can run wild intimidating anyone without worrying of being reprimanded. HK people have been cowed by these vicious cliques far too long. It’s time to stand up to their lies and call a spade a spade, knowing they have full support from their motherland.
