Event flyer "Space for free speech" They claim protests will be small, we'll prove them wrong 8th of February Two p m UK time Outside the Royal mint Court. Prove them Wrong 📅 Date: Saturday, 8th February 2025 🕑 Time: 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM 📍 Location: Outside Royal Mint Court EC3N 4AB National Security Concerns over The People's Republic of China (PRC)'s plan to establish a massive "super-embassy" at Royal Mint Court, Tower Hamlets, London EC3N 4AB - against the will of the local council, residents, and even the Metropolitan Police. This isn't just about a new embassy - it's about protecting our communities and freedoms. The planned chinese embassy in London would become a centre for surveillance and intimidation, threatening not only exiled Chinese nationals but also the safety and values we all share. The metropolitan police objected the scheme over fears that the site lacks space for protests, yet the government intends to approve it to appease an authoritarian regime. This will set a dangerous precedent by undermining free speech and the democratic values of this country. We must take a stand - our streets should not become tools of authoritarian control, especially to those oppressed by the Chinese Communist regime such as Hongkongers, Tibetans, Uyghurs and Taiwanese. We need to hold the government accountable by demanding that human rights and democracy come before diplomatic concessions. Join us on 8th February to defend democracy, free speech, and the safety of our communities!!!! 【2月8日 我地要大家一齊逼爆倫敦條馬路！】 英國政府認為唔會有足夠人關心或者參與反對中國大使館嘅抗議行動，意圖用呢個原因嘗試硬推通過中國超級大使館計劃。 成件事錯曬吖錯曬吖錯曬吖！我地要用行動向佢哋證明佢哋錯，需要大家到場幫手做一個壓力測試！ 📅 日期： 2025年2月8日（星期六） 🕑 時間： 下午2點至4點 📍 地點： 倫敦舊皇家鑄幣廠外 EC3N 4AB 人越多力量越大，到時見！
