A rally is about to get underway in central Hong Kong in support of Yuli Riswati, the Indonesian journalist and domestic worker abruptly deported last weekpic.twitter.com/wdlb4WcBkK
In a weird Hong Kong twist, there's an underpass you have to walk through to get here that is packed with domestic workers on their day off. No one seems to have invited them to the solidarity rally 100 meters away! Also no Indonesian or Filipina speaker on stage
First speaker, a friend of Yuli's, begins with a touching apology in Indonesian. She is having trouble holding back tearspic.twitter.com/XxhQurKxkW
Turnout so far is modest. Smallest crowd of any rally I've been to in Hong Hong. As far as I know this is the first event in support of domestic workers (320k of whom work in Hong Kong) since the 2019 protests startedpic.twitter.com/PnesVDyZys
At any rally, it is important to find and identify the most geared-up journalist, as he is their leaderpic.twitter.com/oeFnabi1SY
I believe Yuli has been patched in and is now speaking directly to the crowdpic.twitter.com/8wqrSCBAG5
She got choked up and the crowd started applauding to encourage her. Now exhortations to "ga yao" (keep on going) are flying between speaker and crowd. First ga yao in months!
A wild fire truck appears, its motives unclear.pic.twitter.com/i6nSz3aqZL
Weird vibe as fire trucks are rumbling in front of city hall as rally continues. The rally has grown a bit as it approaches the halfway markpic.twitter.com/iWAkwgpgYl
My first sighting of a press helmet that defends both against rubber bullets and vampire attack. I wonder if this journalist knows something important about tomorrow's big marchpic.twitter.com/mWYELkdjRB
I won’t lie; it bums me out that the “don’t tear gas our pets” or “Thank Trump” rally got a bigger turnout than this event in support of a deported domestic worker journalist. It’s a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Hong Kongers should have come outpic.twitter.com/eWcM91Io0d
This is another “Slavoj Zizek on easy mode” moment where leaving the rally requires walking through a gauntlet of domestic workers on their day offpic.twitter.com/Rlzh1tdbg0
Also I saw people wearing fewer layers in Antarctica. Hong Kong is no longer as hot as the core of the Sun and everyone is freezing. But there’s nowhere really for people to gopic.twitter.com/aLXKAeAqlX
