Über das Vergessen - Geschichte über Demenz

Über das Vergessen - Geschichte über Demenz Die demenzkranke Klara und ihr spiegelbildlich auftretendes Alter Ego: Eine Szene aus „Über das Vergessen“, das im Lindensaal in Hettingen die Gäste sehr berührte. (Foto: pm) Hettingen. (pm) In Deutschland gibt es rund 1,8 Mio Menschen, die an Demenz erkrankt sind. Tendenz steigend. Erfreulich viele, die sich für dieses wichtige Thema interessieren, haben am Donnerstagabend das Improtheater Stuttgart gesehen, das auf Einladung des Arbeitskreis Gerontopsychiatrie & SAPV NOK e.V. und der Buchener Arbeitsgruppe „Demenz“ im Hettinger Lindensaal gespielt hat. Das Stück, in dem die sieben Stufen einer Demenz dargestellt wurden, war sehr authentisch, vor allem von der Hauptdarstellerin überaus glaubhaft gespielt und es war vor allem eins: sehr berührend. Die verwitwete Klara ist 60 Jahre alt, Mutter zweier erwachsener Töchter und eine erfolgreiche Uni-Professorin. Eine echte Powerfrau. In Phase eins der Erkrankung – von der sie noch nichts weiß - nutzt sie ihr Handy gelegentlich, um wichtige Notizen aufzusprechen. Damit sie nichts vergisst. Wie so viele andere auch. Doch die Demenz nimmt Fahrt auf. Die nächste Szene spielt zwei Jahre später, Klara befindet sich in der zweiten von insgesamt sieben Stufen, in die die Krankheit unterteilt wird. Bald braucht Klara neben dem Handy überall Haftzettel, um sich zu erinnern und zurecht zu kommen. Noch versucht sie, die Demenz vor den Töchtern geheim zu halten. Ihrem nachts spiegelbildlich auftretenden alter ego, ihrem „zweiten ich“, gesteht sie allerdings, dass ihr die Vergesslichkeit Angst macht. Eine Vergesslichkeit, die bewirkt, dass sie sich die Haare mit Spülmittel wäscht oder mit der neu gekauften Opernkarte in den Zoo gehen will. Die Töchter erkennen die Situation, sind erschrocken, wollen unterstützen, wollen helfen - was in Stufe vier Aggressionen bei der unruhigen Mutter hervorruft. Sie will selbstständig bleiben. Auch Uneinigkeit unter der Tochter, die sich vor Ort kümmert, und ihrer weit entfernt wohnenden Schwester über die ungleiche Belastung und den „richtigen“ Umgang mit der Demenz wird nicht ausgespart. Bald ist der Umzug ins Heim unumgänglich, wo sich die osteuropäische Pflegekraft fürsorglich, aber mit viel zu wenig Zeit um die Patienten kümmert. Und die irrwitzige Situation am Ende doch auch selbst nur mit Tabletten aushält.

Das Lachen blieb freilich im Hals stecken angesichts der krassen Wandlung einer erfolgreichen Powerfrau hin zu einer stummen, verwirrten kleinen Frau im weißen Nachthemd, deren einst so wacher Geist nur noch sehr selten bei einem alten Kinderreim aufblitzt. Betroffenheit und Beklemmung machten sich auch deshalb vor allem beim überwiegend „mittelalten“ Publikum breit, weil eine Demenzerkrankung weder mit den „richtigen“ Genen noch mit Sport, einer gesunden Ernährung oder Gehirnjogging verhindert werden kann. Diese und weitere wichtige Fakten streute die Hauptdarstellerin während der einzelnen Szenen mittels eines kleinen Quiz ein. Ihre Botschaft: Verhindern funktioniert nicht – der Umgang damit und die Information über die Krankheit sind wichtig. Denn auch wenn die Mutter die Tochter irgendwann nicht mehr erkennt: Das Herz – so ein Zitat - hat keine Demenz. Eine Botschaft, für die sich auch der Arbeitskreis Gerontopsychiatrie & SAPV NOK e.V. seit der Vereinsgründung 2007 unermüdlich einsetzt. Der Vorsitzende Gerhard Weidner begrüßte zu Beginn auch im Namen der Buchener Arbeitsgruppe Demenz die vielen Zuschauer im Lindensaal. Nach der kürzlich beendeten Cartoonausstellung in der Volksbank Franken in Buchen ist mit dieser Theateraufführung zweifellos eine weitere wichtige Sensibilisierung gelungen. Denn Demenz wird unter anderem aufgrund der steigenden Lebenserwartung immer mehr Menschen betreffen - als Erkrankte oder als Angehörige. Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

Wandern zum Preikestolen ist eine der besten Aktivitäten in der Nähe von Stavanger und sogar in ganz Norwegen. Die flache Bergfelswand ragt gewaltige 604 Meter über den Lysefjord und scheint von Wikingern auf der Suche nach einem malerischen Lagerplatz geschnitzt worden zu sein. Es ist wirklich einer der beeindruckendsten Aussichtspunkte, die ich je in meinem Leben gesehen habe. So gelangen Sie zum Preikestolen Trail Die Anreise zum Trail hängt davon ab, wo Sie übernachten und welche Transportmittel zur Verfügung stehen. Für diejenigen, die Stavanger verlassen, würde ich empfehlen, so früh wie möglich aufzubrechen, um die meiste Zeit auf dem Weg zu verbringen. DIY-Route – Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel von Stavanger Wenn Sie wie wir in Stavanger übernachten, müssen Sie zunächst eine Fähre von Stavanger nach Tau nehmen. Diese Fähre fährt täglich alle 40 Minuten von Fiskepiren ab. Die Kosten für diese Fähre betragen 49 NOK oder 5,70 USD pro Erwachsenem für eine einfache Fahrt. Sobald Sie Tau erreicht haben, müssen Sie in einen lokalen Bus steigen. Diese Busse entsprechen den Fährzeiten, sodass bei Ihrer Abfahrt einer auf Sie wartet. Während der Wandersaison fahren regelmäßig Busse vom Hafen in Tau bis zur Preikestolen Mountain Lodge, wo Sie die Wanderung zum Preikestolen beginnen können. Ein Busticket kostet ungefähr 30 NOK oder 3,50 USD. In der Nebensaison (Oktober – März) fährt der Bus nur bis Jørpeland, wo Sie ein Taxi oder Uber nehmen müssen. Dies wird der teuerste Tarif sein. Die gesamte Fahrt bis zum Beginn des Weges dauert ungefähr 1-2 Stunden, also stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie dies berücksichtigen. Organisierte Touren ab Stavanger Wenn Sie Ihren Weg zur Wanderung nicht selbst organisieren möchten, können Sie bei mehreren in Stavanger tätigen Unternehmen eine Tour buchen. Dies ist viel teurer und Sie müssen oft in einer Gruppe wandern. Normalerweise wähle ich die DIY-Option, wenn ich kann, weil ich diese Art des unabhängigen Reisens bevorzuge. Wenn Sie nur den Transport über ein Reiseunternehmen buchen möchten, haben Sie zwei Möglichkeiten. Denken Sie daran, dass sie einfach dieselben oder ähnliche Bus- und Fähroptionen wie oben beschrieben arrangieren. Transport mit: www.tide.noTransport mit: www.pulpitrock.no Eigenes Auto fahren Wenn Sie das Glück haben, Ihr eigenes Auto in Norwegen zu haben, starten Sie am besten von Stavanger aus zum Lauvik Wharf (RV 13). Hier können Sie die Autofähre nach Oanes nehmen. Wenn Sie Oanes erreicht haben, fahren Sie weiter auf der RV 13 in Richtung Jøssang. Es gibt mehrere Schilder zum Pulpit Rock, also halten Sie Ausschau. Sie müssen auch ein Parkticket bezahlen, sobald Sie die Preikestolen Mountain Lodge erreichen. Über die Wanderung Die Wanderung selbst ist rund 7,6 km von der Prekestolen Mountain Lodge (Preikestolen Fjellstue) hin und zurück entfernt. Die empfohlene Zeit dafür beträgt 4-5 Stunden, wir haben jedoch aufgrund des vereisten Weges in der Wintersaison etwas länger gebraucht. Diejenigen, die zum Preikestolen wandern, werden feststellen, dass der Pfad gut markiert ist, mit Pfadköpfen, die bis zum Pulpit Rock verstreut sind. Das Gelände ist leicht hügelig und schlängelt sich durch Wälder, Täler und felsige Hügel mit fließenden (oder zugefrorenen) Flüssen. Der letzte Kilometer vor Preikestolen bietet eine unglaubliche Aussicht auf den Lysefjord. Beste Zeit zum Wandern zum Preikestolen Wandern zum Preikestolen hat Jahreszeiten. Die Wandersaison ist von April bis September, wenn das Wetter wärmer ist, die Tage länger sind und es kein Eis auf dem Weg gibt. Während dieser Zeit richten sich Busse und Touren an diejenigen, die zum Preikestolen wandern. Aufgrund seiner Beliebtheit habe ich gehört, dass sowohl der Wanderweg als auch der Aussichtspunkt Preikestolen in der Hochsaison ziemlich voll werden können. Offiziell ist der Wanderweg in den Wintermonaten geschlossen. Als ich den Lysefjord jedoch aus über 600 Metern Höhe sah, war ich entschlossen, Preikestolen in Januray zu erreichen.

Seien Sie in der Nebensaison vorbereitet Die Wanderung ist in den Wintermonaten durchaus machbar, ist jedoch etwas lückenhafter. Ein Großteil des Weges ist mit Eis bedeckt, was zu rutschigen Übergängen neben steilen Klippen führt. Es kann auch ziemlich kalt und windig werden. Wir hatten das Glück, gutes Wetter zu haben, aber die Temperaturen werden für den größten Teil der Wanderung immer noch unter Null liegen. Es ist wichtig, die Wetterbedingungen zu überwachen, da sich die Dinge schnell ändern können. Die Tage sind auch viel kürzer. Sie müssen dies berücksichtigen, wenn Sie im Winter zum Preikestolen wandern. Gehen Sie früher los und stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie genug Tageslicht für die Rückwanderung zurück zur Lodge haben. Nach der Wanderung kehrten wir zur Preikestolen Mountain Lodge zurück und fanden sie leer. Zum Glück hatten wir ein Handy dabei, um den Transport anzurufen. Es hätte keinen Spaß gemacht, nachts bei minus 10 Grad zusätzlich 9 km durch Fjordland zu laufen. Stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie im Voraus planen. Empfohlene Ausrüstung für Wanderungen zum Preikestolen Unabhängig von der Jahreszeit erfordert die Wanderung zum Preikestolen einen gewissen Schutz vor den Elementen. Während der Sommer- und Hauptwandersaison ist die Wanderung ziemlich einfach. Normale Wanderkleidung mit etwas Windschutz ist ausreichend. Es wird auch empfohlen, eine Wasserflasche mitzubringen. Auf dem Weg zum Preikestolen gibt es mehrere fließende Bäche. Das Trinken von norwegischem Bergwasser direkt aus dem Bach ist so frisch wie es nur geht. Wenn Sie in der Nebensaison unbedingt zum Preikestolen wandern möchten, benötigen Sie zusätzliche Ausrüstung. Warme Kleidung, eine wasserdichte Jacke und etwas Verpflegung werden dringend empfohlen. Außerdem benötigen Sie bequeme Wanderschuhe. Obwohl ich sie nicht hatte, trafen wir einen anderen Wanderer auf dem Weg, der Steigeisen für die eisigen Teile hatte. Aussichtspunkt Preikestolen (Kanzelfelsen). Die meisten Leute machen eine Wanderung zum Preikestolen, um den berühmten flachen Aussichtspunkt Preikestolen zu sehen. Nahe am Rand zu stehen und auf den scheinbar endlosen Abgrund in den zugefrorenen Fjord hinabzublicken, ist ein wildes Erlebnis. Ursprünglich war der Name der antiken Stätte Hyvlatonnå, was auf Englisch „gehobelter Zahn“ bedeutet. Preikestolen erhielt seinen neuen Namen jedoch vor etwa 100 Jahren, als der Tourismus in der Region zum ersten Mal begann. Es wird gesagt, dass eine lokale Tourismusorganisation, Stavanger Turistforening, den Ort für Trekking einrichten wollte. .

Bangkok: Ab August werden kommerzielle Flüge nach Korat wieder aufgenommen

Kommerzielle Flüge werden am Flughafen Nakhon Ratchasima im August nach jahrelanger Aussetzung wegen geringer Nachfrage nach Sitzplätzen wieder aufgenommen. Die Provinzbehörden und Führungskräfte von Nok Air gaben am Mittwoch (13. Juli) bekannt, dass Nok Air ab dem 2. August zwei Hin- und Rückflüge pro Woche nach Chiang Mai durchführen werde. Wutthiphum Jurangkool, Chief Executive Officer von Nok Air, sagte, die beiden Dienste würden den Markt testen.

Die Fluggesellschaft würde ein Q400 NextGen Turboprop Flugzeug mit 86 Sitzplätzen auf der Strecke Nakhon Ratchasima – Chiang Mai einsetzen, mit Flügen samstags und dienstags und einem Preis von 2.100 Baht. Er sagte, acht Fluggesellschaften hätten zuvor ihre Dienste am Flughafen Nakhon Ratchasima eingestellt, weil das tatsächliche Verkehrsaufkommen nur 70 bis 80 Personen pro Flug betrage. Wenn die Nachfrage steigt, wird Nok Air Flugzeuge vom Typ Boeing 737-800 mit 189 Sitzplätzen auf der Strecke betreiben und die Frequenz auf drei Flüge pro Woche und später möglicherweise auf sieben Flüge erhöhen, sagte Herr Wutthiphum. Der Gouverneur von Nakhon Ratchasima, Wichian Chantharanothai, sagte, Beamte hätten eine Studie durchgeführt, um die tatsächliche Nachfrage zu ermitteln, und würden den Dienst fördern, insbesondere für die kommende Hochsaison in Chiang Mai. Der 2 Milliarden Baht teure Flughafen Nakhon Ratchasima liegt im Bezirk Chalerm Phrakiat, etwa 30 Kilometer östlich des Stadtzentrums. Der 1997 eröffnete Flughafen verfügt über vier Flugzeugstellplätze, einen Flugzeugparkplatz, eine 2,1 Kilometer lange Landebahn und ein 5.500 Quadratmeter großes Passagierterminal, das bis zu 300 Passagiere pro Stunde abfertigen kann. In den ersten Betriebsjahren operierten kommerzielle Fluggesellschaften wie Thai Airways, Air Andaman und Kan Airlines vom Flughafen aus, aber alle Flüge wurden eingestellt, weil sie nicht rentabel waren. / Bangkok Post   Read the full article

HONG KONG UPDATE 17 DEC 2019

This is a patch-up update.

1008: LegCo. Pro-democracy legislators Gary Fan and Au Nok-hin lose LegCo seats immediately as Court of Final Appeal refuses to hear their election petition cases. They were ruled to have been invalidly elected after 2 hopefuls (also pro-dem) Agnes Chow and Ventus Lau were ruled as wrongly barred from running. Basically: 1. Pro-dem candidates Agnes Chow and Ventus Lau wrongly barred by pro-Beijing HK gov from running. 2. Pro-dem camp sends in 2 replacements, Gary Fan and Au Nok-hin, who then win and have been in the seats since then. 3. Agnes Chow and Ventus Lau file case with courts, because common law works on precedent; if kicking pro-dem candidates is recognised as a precedent, pro-Beijing gov can just remove any pro-dem candidates in future with this method by citing precedent. 4. Technically speaking, Agnes Chow and Ventus Lau should win AND a by-election called so that the 2 seats can remain in pro-dem camp as it RIGHTFULLY SHOULD. 5. Court (which is now pro-Beijing, Beijing has now managed to control it, rule of law who?) rules Agnes and Ventus as winning the case WHICH MEANS THAT Gary and Nok-hin are not considered duly elected. Gary Fan and Au Nok-hin immediately lose 2 seats. 7. The timing is very deliberate. Why now of all times? Gov refuses to hold by-election to fill Fan and Au’s seats cos’ only 9 months left in the current LegCo term. It usually takes around 3 months for organisation of a by-election. 8. Which means pro-dem camp loses 2 seats for not doing anything wrong. Remember, pro-Beijing gov were the perps causing Chow and Lau to not get chance to run in the first place. Why is the pro-dem camp paying the price as the victim? Why is the majority of the population who fairly exercised their lawful and constitutional right to democracy and to vote being robbed of the voice they voted for? 9. Gov should shoulder responsibility for wrongly disqualifying the election candidates. Au Nok-hin: “It is ridiculous that the interests of Chow, myself, and 130,000 ppl who voted for me have been harmed.” They argue that the electoral institution in HK is screwed as candidates can’t even have back-up plans. In order to challenge the gov’s decision about disqualifying candidates, the only way for you to do it is an election petition of which the objective is to unseat the incumbent. What should have happened: Agnes and Ventus win legal challenge, the four run a by-election, the 2 seats remain pro-dem camp’s.

Now pro-democracy camp loses 2 seats (because of course, the gov mumbles about holding the by-election to put Agnes and Ventau in place, and the official proceeds to give a dozen excuses to the press), which means 2 less votes against the pro-Beijing camp. Every legislator vote in the room is vital. If China decides to push stuff again through the puppet pro-Beijing camp, 2 less votes is literally the fine line between life and death. If pro-dem is to keep its veto power in Legco, for example to reject an impeachment motion (if pro-Beijing decides to impeach a pro-dem legislator to kick them out), it must ensure the support of Civic Passion’s Cheng Chung-tai or medical sector lawmaker Pierre Chan.

US citizen and journo Han Jintak is denied entry to HK and detained for a number of hours. He has since been sent back to USA and still has no official statement explaining why he was turned away. Han says HK immigration is fully aware that he is present for press purposes.

Journo Philia Siu is denied entry to Macau to cover Xi’s visit despite having signed up with the Macau gov. Police say there are strong signs he will engage in activities that pose a threat to public order and safety of the city.

1322: Social and welfare workers begin first day of 1 week strike. At five locations across HK, they organise “mourning” protests lamenting the authorities’ destruction of HK’s way of life. Organisers say they have not planned activities across the entire day, but by turning out to rallies, they are showing their discontent.

1610: Police presser. First open meeting of police “watchdog” IPCC since its international experts decided to “stand aside” from its studies of police handling of HK protests. Police PR SP tells IPCC that police are facing unprecedented presence of media in past 6 months’ protests. Police claim police will try to work with media: “Police and the media are good partners working together?” [The journos then make fun of this on Twitter] Police say they have distributed 14,000 blue cards with operation codes to officers tasked to handle protests. CSP Tammy Mak claims Raptors cannot find a place for the blue card on their combat suits but operation code is on the back of their helmets. Despite multiple footages and pictures proving otherwise. Officers haven’t been wearing any sort of cards, and have refused to show their identities at all. No codes visible either.  Police have received 1,1 complaints on officers from Jan to Nov, striking a year-on-year incr of 14.5, 481 of them related to protests. IPCC chair Anthony Neoh SC stands firm and denies international experts’ input on the upcoming report.

The woman whose right eyeball was ruptured BY THE POLICE on 11 Aug 2019 has lost her court battle to obtain the warrant police used to unlawfully view her medical records and invade her privacy and intimidate her. The court declined to determine the rights of those whose details are contained in such records owned by other parties, in this case, the hospital. High Court judge Godfrey Lam (note this guy is problematic) says that police refusal to show the search warrant to K did not affect her right of access to the courts. Lam rules that police are not obligated to present the search warrant to her even though her privacy was affected by the police search. K is now required to pay the gov’s legal fees as a result of losing the court challenge. Remember, police severely injured her. Then went on to invade her privacy and intimidate her with this invasion.  Aaron Mc Nicholas’ explanation: “Today’s ruling doesn’t mean there is no way to contest a search warrant, as we have seen recently. What the court did say today is that the woman failed to explain how inability to view the warrant would put an application to set it aside at a disadvantage. Citizens’ reactions: “My savings at a bank belong to me, right? Then why my records held by hospitals do not belong to me? It seems that the court only wanted to dodge the political bullets by pretending to be neutral.” “Unbelievable that one does not have the right to know what part of their privacy has been disclosed to a third party.” “I don’t have the right to protect my privacy?! Seriously?!”

Prosecutors withdraw charges against a 51yo man beaten by police and then accused of assaulting police, citing lack of evidence. The man says he may sue the police after taking legal advice. Ridiculous is that he was beaten, then accused of attacking police instead, and then prosecuted....

2111: Central. Striking social workers and other citizens rally at Edinburgh Place, denouncing a “humanitarian disaster” in HK over the past few months.

Acting Chief Exec Matthew Cheung says if China wants to arrest HK ppl on the bridge to Macau that’s their business and they’re perfectly entitled to do so. @ thorcmd: Imagine unwillingly paying for a USD 19bn bridge and a USD 11bn railway through your taxes AND THEN learning both are extradition traps for a country without rule of law.

Grapevine that many protesting citizens that were arrested are suspected to be detained at a psychiatric hospital and injected with Haloperidol. Eyewitnesses have twice seen large scale sealing of roads around Siu Lam Psychiatric Centre in the previous week, large numbers of police vehicles escorting of detainees into and also out of the centre, and smelled a rotting stench emanating from within sealed police vehicles. One eyewitness that insisted on anonymity said, “Recently HK multiplied a few times in the amount of psychiatric patients for no particular reason and recently some unusual aspects were discovered. Correctional Services had vehicles entering and exiting frequently, at first I didn’t pay much attention, but after that I found that the vehicles were carrying detainees. They were more than 20 police motorcycles and 6 jeeps and 4 charging vehicles (T/N: Idk what to call them), all escorting 3 middle-sized buses covered fully in metal wire and plastic.” Note: In mainland China, this is a common tactic used against Chinese dissidents. They get injected with stuff and then they become idiots and never recover. Recently a lady who was very bright and a fantastic artist in her free time disappeared before appearing to the public as being arrested by the Chinese gov. She was released and everyone found her to be a changed person. She no longer laughed nor acted normally. It was depression. She lost her mind and became, for lack of a better word, dumb. Tbh you see stuff like this often if you are a China watcher.... Another great concern I have after hearing this news: What about the poor citizens (especially the women and girls!) who were r*aped and g*ang*r*aped while in detention? There have been many cases. Will these ppl be also sent here by the police and locked up to hide the cases on the pretext of emotional and mental trauma?

Tài phiệt Hong Kong Jimmy Lai và những người khác bị kết án vì tụ tập bất hợp pháp

Tài phiệt Hong Kong Jimmy Lai và những người khác bị kết án vì tụ tập bất hợp pháp

Ông trùm truyền thông Hong Kong Jimmy Lai và 9 nhà hoạt động ủng hộ dân chủ khác dự kiến sẽ bị kết án vào thứ Sáu sau khi họ bị kết tội tham gia các cuộc tụ tập trái phép trong các cuộc biểu tình chống chính phủ vào năm 2019.

Đây sẽ là lần đầu tiên Lai, một trong những nhà hoạt động dân chủ nổi tiếng nhất Hồng Kông, người đã ngồi tù kể từ tháng 12 sau khi bị từ chối bảo lãnh trong một phiên tòa xét xử an ninh quốc gia riêng biệt, sẽ nhận bản án.

Khoảng 100 người đã xếp hàng bên ngoài tòa án vào đầu ngày thứ Sáu để có được một chỗ ngồi cho phiên điều trần.

“Trước đây, đấu tranh cho dân chủ và tự do đã rất khó. Với luật an ninh quốc gia, điều đó còn khó hơn”, sinh viên 19 tuổi Yan nói trong khi chờ đợi.

“Chúng tôi cần phải tin vào đức tin của mình và chờ thời gian tới”, sinh viên từ chối cho biết họ tên do tính nhạy cảm của môn học.

Lai bị kết tội trong hai phiên tòa riêng biệt vào đầu tháng 4 vì tội tụ tập bất hợp pháp lần lượt vào ngày 18 tháng 8 và ngày 31 tháng 8 năm 2019. Hình phạt tối đa có thể là năm năm tù.

Các vụ bắt giữ liên tục của ông đã thu hút sự chỉ trích từ các chính phủ phương Tây và các nhóm quyền quốc tế, những người đã làm dấy lên lo ngại về việc suy giảm quyền tự do trong trung tâm tài chính toàn cầu, bao gồm quyền tự do ngôn luận và hội họp.

Trong vụ án ngày 18 tháng 8, thẩm phán Amanda Woodcock của Tòa án quận đã kết tội anh ta cùng với Martin Lee, người đã giúp thành lập Đảng Dân chủ đối lập lớn nhất thành phố vào những năm 1990 và thường được gọi là “cha đẻ của nền dân chủ” trước đây của thuộc địa Anh.

Khi bước vào tòa hôm thứ Sáu, Lee nói: “Tôi cảm thấy hoàn toàn thoải mái, tôi sẵn sàng đối mặt với bản án của mình”.

Các bị cáo khác, cũng bị tuyên có tội, bao gồm luật sư nổi tiếng Margaret Ng và các nhà dân chủ kỳ cựu Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho, Leung Kwok-hung, Cyd Ho, Au Nok-hin và Leung Yiu-chung. Hai người sau đó đã nhận tội.

Trong phiên tòa thứ hai, cùng một thẩm phán đã kết luận Lai và Lee Cheuk-yan phạm tội cùng với Yeung Sum. Các cuộc đụng độ ngày 31 tháng 8 là một trong những cuộc đụng độ tồi tệ nhất ở Hồng Kông, với cảnh sát bắn hơi cay và vòi rồng vào những người biểu tình ủng hộ dân chủ, những người ném bom xăng.

Cả ba đều đã nhận tội.

Lee Cheuk-yan đã đăng trên Facebook vào cuối ngày thứ Năm rằng anh ta dự kiến sẽ đi tù nhưng tâm trí của anh ta “tự do như đại dương và bầu trời.”

Các cuộc biểu tình ủng hộ dân chủ năm 2019 được thúc đẩy bởi sự siết chặt của Bắc Kinh đối với các quyền tự do trên diện rộng đã hứa với Hồng Kông sau khi nước này trở lại quyền cai trị của Trung Quốc vào năm 1997, và đẩy thành phố bán tự trị vào cuộc khủng hoảng lớn nhất kể từ khi bàn giao.

Kể từ đó, Bắc Kinh đã củng cố sự độc đoán của mình đối với Hồng Kông bằng cách áp đặt luật an ninh quốc gia sâu rộng, trừng phạt bất cứ điều gì mà họ cho là ly khai, lật đổ, khủng bố hoặc cấu kết với các lực lượng nước ngoài với mức án tù chung thân.

Những người ủng hộ luật nói rằng nó đã khôi phục lại sự ổn định.

Lai, người sáng lập tờ báo lá cải Apple Daily, là khách thường xuyên đến Washington, gặp gỡ các quan chức như cựu Ngoại trưởng Mike Pompeo, để vận động ủng hộ nền dân chủ Hồng Kông, khiến Bắc Kinh gán cho ông là “kẻ phản bội”.

Lai dự kiến sẽ có thêm hai phiên tòa vào thứ Sáu, trong phiên tòa đang diễn ra, nơi anh ta bị buộc tội thông đồng với nước ngoài và một vụ gian lận liên quan đến việc cho thuê tòa nhà đặt Apple Daily.

Đầu tuần này, tờ báo lá cải đã đăng một bức thư viết tay mà Lai g��i cho các đồng nghiệp sau khi ra tù, với nội dung: “Trách nhiệm của chúng tôi là những nhà báo phải đi tìm công lý. Miễn là chúng tôi không bị mờ mắt bởi những cám dỗ bất chính, miễn là chúng tôi không hãy để cái ác len lỏi qua chúng ta, chúng ta đang hoàn thành trách nhiệm của mình. ”

Ông viết.
