US Congress Supports Hong Kong Protesters, Passes Pro-Democracy Bill

(Worthy News) – The US House of Representatives has passed the bill that pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong believe would defend their freedom and basic human rights. Although it still has to gain approval from the Senate before becoming law, protesters consider this a big step forward in their fight for democracy.

It’s brutal police tactics that have led to demands that urgent action is taken by the US Congress to pass the Hong Kong Human Rights Act.

At a Monday night rally in Hong Kong, more than 100,000 protesters shouted: “Pass the Act!” Now that the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act has been passed, they are rallying for the US Senate to approve it to become a law. [ Source: CBN News (Read More…) ]
