China Jails Dissenters in Hong Kong

      Government police jailed 3 pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong.  The 3 were taken to jail to serve sentences for speaking out about human rights and democratic principles.  Apparently, President Xi has other plans for Hong Kong.  I'm sure it does not included anything resembling Hong Kong that we remember.
     Hong Kong used to be a nice place to visit.  The Mayor spent time their when still a UK Colony.  With subtle pressure and not-so-subtle pressure, Hong was returned to it's Communist owners who promised no changes for 20 years.
