They would like to have the tools with which they can hit the people and shut the people up, and I think Article 23 is one of those tools.

I think the people have spoken very loudly and clearly,

It's a powerful way for people to know that we have not forgotten. It's reassuring to see so many people turn out to say they have not forgotten the atrocities of 1989.

We have demonstrated to Hong Kong and to the rest of China, if people are allowed to get the news, what democracy is all about.

They support democracy, and the pro-democracy candidates have scored a resounding victory. I certainly hope the people in Beijing would be watching closely.

You can call it a farce; it's not an election in the way you know it, but that's Hong Kong, it's very sad.
