A pro-Beijing lawmaker in Hong Kong, who has become a figure of hate among pro-democracy circles, has issued a direct threat to his opponents after vandals attacked his office and the graves of his parents.
"Today, I want to tell you very clearly," Junius Ho said, in Cantonese in a video posted on Facebook late Tuesday."The paths before you? One is a path of being alive, one is a path of not being alive. You must choose which path to take. Decide soon."A longtime critic of the pro-democracy movement, Ho has come under pressure after a video emerged of him appearing to congratulate men who allegedly attacked protesters in the far north of Hong Kong on Sunday.
— Aaron Mc Nicholas July 23, 2019 Following his comments, his office and the graves of his parents were defaced by unidentified vandals."Official-triad collusion" was written on a wall in spray paint next to his parents' resting place in Leung Tin village, south of Yuen Long. CNN has reached out to Ho multiple times to request an interview since Sunday, with no response. He did not respond to an additional request for comment Wednesday regarding his Facebook video.
