use of violence in order

The Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong justifies the use of violence by protesters. “With a purely peaceful Protest, we will not achieve our goal,” Wong said of the “süddeutsche Zeitung” on Monday. “Alone with violence, however, is not. We need both.”

The violent actions of the police can come up with more and more resistance in the Hong Kong population, said Wong. “The police arrested only the protesters, then, first responders, pastors, and now civilians.” More than 4000 people had been arrested. “This strengthens the understanding of the population for the protests,” said the 23-Year-old, who was due to his commitment several times already in detention, is convinced.
