> Violence meets definition of ‘terrorist acts’ according to local and international laws

When a populous perpetrates violence against it's own government and that government is authoritarian, then that is not a definition of terrorism, but instead and act of rebellion.

History is full of such examples.

From article:

> "The administration must guard the dignity of the Hong Kong passport, which now enjoys visa-free status from 167 countries. The number would drop to 20 if we admit to breeding domestic terrorists,” the source continued."

> The sources pointed to Cap. 575 United Nations (Anti-Terrorism Measures) Ordinance, first enacted in Hong Kong in 2002 in line with a UN resolution after the September 11 terror attacks in the United States, that spells out terrorism related offences.

Yesterday, protestors set a man on fire.
