November 27, 2019The Italian Foreign Minister, Luigi Di Maio "disappointed me when he talked about human rights in Hong Kong. He said he did not want to interfere with the events in other countries, but neglected police brutality". To say it is Joshua Wong, the young leader of the video-connecting protest from Hong Kong with the Feltrinelli Foundation in Milan. "Everyone should remember the importance of human dignity," he added. And he then made an appeal "to the Italian leaders to remember that we are fighting for a noble cause: to have truly free elections"."Italy does not rely too much on trade with China"
"Italy should be careful, not to rely too much on the commercial relationship with China," added Joshua Wong.
"Arrest 5000 people so far"
"Five thousand people were arrested, even pregnant women were beaten in police stations. In Hong Kong we are far from democracy," he said. As part of the 'Hong Kong Democracy' meeting, Wong then recalled being arrested eight times and reiterated that the movement does not need a leader.
"We deserve democracy"
"We need to talk about reform" for Hong Kong, "the time has come to show that we deserve a better democracy and we are ready to receive it," said Wong.
"Bible is an inspiration to me"
"The Bible is a source of great inspiration to me," said the protest leader student who explained that he was inspired in particular by the courage of Joshua, that is, the leader Joshua present in the Bible. "We are facing a humanitarian crisis," Wong added, saying attacks on medical staff, nurses and students "are war crimes".
