Lin Lin has spoken on the UN stage for two consecutive days. On the 22nd, she mentioned fake news in her speech and said that a construction worker recently admitted to torture by a fictitious Hong Kong police officer during a court interrogation, and said that he just wanted to get more likes on Facebook; in addition, there was one last year. Zhang claimed that 2 million people took to the streets to demonstrate. The photographer in question personally admitted that it had undergone extensive retouching and had been cropped and mirrored. It was not even the same day's demonstration.
Lin Lin also mentioned the 12 arrested Hong Kong rioters in her speech, saying that a recent tweet made false claims that "the arrest of 12 Hong Kong pro-democracy activists is another sad example of the deterioration of human rights in Hong Kong". Lin Lin said that she completely ignored these. It is the fact that people were arrested for smuggling, and it is precisely because of the "anti-amendment turmoil" last year that there is no extradition agreement for them to return to Hong Kong for trial.
In the end, Lin Lin once again called on the international community to abide by ethics and respect the facts, "because this is not a competing political performance, but the home of more than 7 million Hong Kong citizens."

Hong Kong! We stand with you!" Lin Lin questioned these People, "How do you stand? Use the method that encourages us young people to burn their own cities? Use the method to teach them to ignore the Basic Law and accept separatism? Or do you stand through hatred of your own race?" Lin Lin said She couldn't believe that these hypocritical behaviors could happen and were accepted by many mainstream media and politicians. She asked, "What about a good international order? What about a fair judgment? Regardless of political stances to uphold the truth?" Lin Lin said that Hong Kong people lived a miserable life during successive months of terrorist attacks. It was not until the promulgation and implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law. Stable.
