It is not a cultural or regional difference. The crimes committed by the Hong Kong and Chinese governments are crimes against humanity. The international court of human rights can take those cases. You know, these two sovereignties are members of those covenants. Unfortunately, both China and Hong Kong are not members.
If you look at the so-called crimes committed by those activists—and I said earlier that I had been indicted and convicted on numerous occasions in Hong Kong in the past few years—the activities that I have done are similar to those I did before the transfer of sovereignty, so I didn't do anything particularly wrong or different in terms of political activity. However, in the past few years, they became crimes in Hong Kong.
For those crimes that I committed before I left, as compared to those being sentenced now, it's outrageous. I was being penalized $4,000 for those crimes, whereas some of these people have been sentenced to three years in jail for similar activities. The whole political and legal system has totally changed.
Now Hong Kong is similar to Nazi Germany in the 1930s. That is why I think the Canadian people and the Canadian government should treat this differently.
