2 | Protesters from Chater Road were waiting for the police to arrest them on July 2 peaceful sit-in. | Niandry ny mpitandro filaminana hisambotra azy ireo mpitokona teo amin'ny arabe Chater nandritra ny fitokonana am-pilaminana tamin'ny 2 Jolay. |

5 | When Ah To, an engineer without a criminal record, joined a peaceful sit-in in central Hong Kong last week demanding that China allow the people to nominate the city's leader, he knew he was risking arrest. | Fantatr'i Ah To, injeniera tsy mbola voaheloka hatrizay, fa mety hahavoasambotra azy ny famonjena ny fitokonana am-pilaminana tao afovoan'i Hong Kong ho fangatahana ny hamelàn'i Shina ny vahoaka hanendry ny mpitarika ny tanàna tamin'ny herinandro lasa. |
6 | He asked himself if it was worth it to risk a good job and his future for what wasn't even a full-scale protest but a rehearsal for a larger demonstration later on. | Nanontany tena izy raha toa ka mendrika atao sorona amin'ity hetsika tsy dia lehibe ity, saingy famerenana ho anà hetsi-panoherana goavana any aoriana any, ny asany tsara sy ny hoaviny. |
7 | Then, he heard a girl behind him talking loudly on the phone. | Avy eo, naheno ankizivavy iray tao aoriany niresaka mafy tamin'ny finday izy. |
8 | He described what happened next on Facebook in a post republished on citizen media platform inmediahk.net with his permission: | Nosoritsoritany tao amin'ny Facebook tanatinà lahatsoratra naverina navoaka tao amin'ny sehatra fiadian-kevitry ny mediam-bahoaka inmediahk.net miaraka tamin'ny alàlana nomeny ny zava-niseho : |
9 | “I am doing this not for myself, I am not having fun, I do this for Hong Kong!!” | “Tsy ho ahy no anaovako izao, tsy mivazivazy aho, fa ho an'i Hong Kong no anaovako izao!!! |
10 | Then she hung up the phone. | Avy eo notapahany ny antso. |
11 | People around me had tears in their eyes, actually I had tears in my eyes. | Nanganohano daholo ny mason'ny olona nanodidina ahy, ary dia nanganohano ihany koa ny ahy. |
12 | What I am afraid most is not getting myself arrested or being politically prosecuted, but letting my family worry about me. | Tsy ny hisamborana ahy na ny hanenjehana ahy ara-politika no tena nampatahotra ahy fa ny hamela ny fianakaviako hitaintaina ny amiko. |
13 | Five hundred and eleven people were arrested in the early morning hours of July 2 during the sit-in, including Ah To. | Olona iraika ambin'ny folo sy dimanjato no voasambotra ny marainan'ny 2 Jolay teo nandritra ny fitokonana, tao anatin'izany i Ah To. |
14 | He said he was arrested for participating in an unlawful assembly and causing obstruction in public places. | Nolazainy fa noho ny nandraisany anjara taminà fivoriana tsy ara-dalàna ka nahatonga ny fitohanana tany amin'ireo toeram-bahoaka no nisamborana azy. |
15 | The sit-in followed a rally of a half a million Hong Kongers on July 1, the anniversary of the handover of former British colony Hong Kong to China in 1997. | Taorian'ny fivoriamben'ny mponina antsasakà tapitrisa tany Hong Kong ny 1 Jolay io fitokonana io, tsingerintaonan'ny nanomezana an'i Hong Kong zanatany Britanika teo aloha ho an'i Shina tamin'ny 1997. |
16 | China has promised Hong Kong a direct vote for the next chief executive in 2017 instead of election via committee, but still insists that a committee approve the candidates. | Nampanantena i Shina fa atao mivantana ny fifidianana ny filoha manaraka hitantana an'i Hong Kong amin'ny 2017 fa tsy amin'ny alàlan'ny komity intsony, saingy mbola tsindriany fa tsy maintsy eken'ny komity ireo filatsahan-ko fidiana. |
17 | The group Occupy Central with Love and Peace, which plans to peacefully take over the city's Central District if the Hong Kong government fails to come up with a political reform proposal free of any pre-selection of candidates, considered the sit-in as a rehearsal for what they plan to be a much larger occupation. | Noraisin'ny vondrona Occupy Central With Love And Peace, izay nitetika ny haka an-keriny ny faritra Afovoan'ny tanàna raha toa ka tsy mahomby ny fandrosoan'ny governemanta volavolam-panavaozana politika momba ny fahalalahan'ny filatsahan-ko fidiana, ho toy ny fivoriana fiomanana amin'izay eritreretin'izy ireo ho fakàna toerana an-keriny midadasika kokoa io fitokonana io. |
18 | All those arrested were released and some remain on bail awaiting further prosecution. | Efa navotsotra avokoa ireo rehetra nosamborina, ary ny sasany mbola nandoa honitra ka miandry ny fanenjehana vaovao. |
19 | Many shared their personal stories on Facebook in the past few days, such as Ah To. | Maro no nizara ny tantarany manokana tao amin'ny Facebook tanatin'ny andro vitsy, toa an-dry Ah To. |
20 | In his vivid account, he described those around him. | Nosoritsoritany tao anatin'ny kaontiny izay rehetra nanodidina azy. |
21 | To his left was a father of a 1-year-old son who stated, “I am here because of my son.” | Teo amin'ny ankaviany nisy rain-jazalahy kely herintaona izay nilaza fa noho ny “amin'ny zanany lahy no mahatonga azy ao”. |
22 | To his right was a 50-year-old who said he had traveled to Hong Kong from Shenzhen, China, to support the protests. | Teo amin'ny ankavanany nisy lehilahy 50 taona izay nilaza fa avy any Shenzhen, any Shina izy no tonga any Hong Kong mba hanohana ireo hetsi-panoherana. |
23 | Ah To emphasized that protesters came from all walks of life: | Namafisin'i Ah To fa avy any amin'ny vazantany efatra ireo mpanao fihetsiketsehana ireo : |
24 | What I want to say here is that many of those arrested are not enthusiastic activists. | Ny tiako ho lazaina eto dia maro amin'ireo voasambotra ireo ny tsy mpitolona mafana fo. |
25 | Please don't label those arrested as monsters and crazy people, but they aren't heroes either. | Aza atao hoe biby fampitahorana, na adala ireo voasambotra ireo, kanefa koa tsy mahery fo izy ireo. |
26 | They are just very ordinary Hong Kong citizens, students or white collar workers. | Mponina tsotra any Hong Kong ihany izy ireo, mpianatra na koa mpiasa anaty birao. |
27 | They have to call the office to ask for sick leave when they are arrested. | Tsy maintsy miantso any amin'ny birao ry zareo mangataka fialan-tsasatra noho ny aretina rehefa voasambotra. |
28 | And they are worried that once their faces appear on TV, the boss will find an excuse to fire them. | Ary matahotra mafy izy ireo raha vao miseho amin'ny TV satria mety hitady fomba handroahana azy ireo ny lehibe. |
29 | But I also want to say, a social movement is not something very out of reach. | Kanefa tiako tenenina ihany koa fa zavatra tsy sarotra tanterahina ny hetsika ara-piarahamonina. |
30 | What you need is a heart. | Ny fo no ilainareo. |
31 | There is no need for rehearsal, no need for preparation. | Tsy ilàna famerenana, na fanomanana. |
32 | Once you sit down, you become an activist. | Raha vao mipetraka ianao dia tonga ho mpitolona. |
33 | Independent art group Psychedelic Nomads took a 15-minute short film about the Occupy Central rehearsal and interviewed a number of participants to comment on the current situation in Hong Kong. | Naka lahatsary fohy 15 minitra momba ny famerenana nataon'ny Occupy Central sy nitafata taminà mpandray anjara maro mba hitsikerana ny zava-misy ankehitriny any Hong kong ny vondrona mpanakanto mahaleotena Psychedelic Nomads. |
34 | Even though the pro-Beijing politicians and supporters continue to say that Occupy Central will not change China's decision to restrict the nomination power to a nominating committee, Ah To and his generation won't be giving up so easily. Follow our in-depth coverage: Hong Kong's Umbrella Revolution | Na dia mbola milaza ihany aza ireo mpanao politika mpomba an'i Pékin sy ireo mpanara-dia azy fa tsy hampiova ny fanapahan-kevitr'i Shina amin'ny famerana ny fahefana hanendry ho anà komity mpanolotra ny Occupy Central, dia tsy hilavo lefona moramora i Ah To sy ireo mpiray tarika aminy. |
