SOT Lee Cheuk Yan, hunger striker, in English: "I'm on a hunger strike for five days of protest against the government's position to scrap the five laws that have been passed by the Legislative Council. The Legislative Council is an elected body, now they are scrapping the law through a Provisional Legislature only elected by 400 people. That is a regression in democracy, regression in labour rights and a regression of the rule of law";
