7 | The charges against him concern two separate protests: In June 2012, Koo burned the Chinese flag outside the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong to protest against the staged suicide of Chinese dissident Li Wangyang, and on January 1, Koo was seen waving the Chinese flag with a big X through it and the Hong Kong flag with holes in it. | Mikasika fikomiana roa samy hafa ny fanenjehana azy : tamin'ny volana jona 2012 nodoran'i Koo teo ivelan'ny Biraom-Pifandraisan'ny Governemantam-Bahoaka Foibeany Hong Kong ny sainam-pirenena Shinoa ho fanoherana ny fikarakaràna ny famonoan-tenan'i Li Wangyang ilay Shinoa mpanohitra, ary tamin'ny 1 Janoary , dia hita nanofahofa sainam-pirenena Shinoa misy X lehibe sy sainam-pirenen'i Hong Kong misy lavadavaka i Koo. |

11 | Some say the national flag should not be desecrated because it represents national unity and solidarity. | Miteny ny sasany fa tsy tokony ho zimbazimbaina ny sainam-pirenena satria izy no mariky ny firaisankina sy ny maha iray ny firenena. |

13 | Brennan, Jr.'s verdict is the best answer to such argument: The government cannot ban people who express an idea that is considered unacceptable and disrespectful by society. | Brennan, ho an)i Jr. no valin-teny mendrika indrindra ho an'ny fiheverana tahaka izany :tsy tokony ho sakanan'ny governemanta ireo olona izay maneho hevitra izay heverina fa tsy azon'ny fiaraha-monina ekena sy hajaina. |
