The Hong Kong Be Water Act condemns the Chinese Communist Party for violations of Hongkongers’ freedoms of speech, assembly, and demonstration rights that Beijing previously agreed to uphold under “one country two systems”. It also calls for new sanctions against the government officials and others responsible for the violations.

Hongkongers support congress to introduce be water act and pass it in the future.
