Dear FT Readers,
A white terror has descended upon Hong Kong. Our government has pushed a bill that would extradite "fugitives" in Hong Kong - citizens, foreigners and tourists alike - to China for alleged crimes. The G20 summit this Friday brings a truce; once it is over, our future is doomed, unless you help us now.
We feared these arbitrary "deportations". We shouted, to deaf ears. Lawyers, chambers of commerce, and millions of us were all rubbished by chief executive Carrie Lam. Without a choice, we surrounded the legislature peacefully. A violent crackdown followed. Defenceless protesters and journalists were beaten, tear gassed, and even headshot. The injured were arrested in hospitals and charged for "rioting".
This mini-Tiananmen did not move Lam. The EU condemned the Bill; Amnesty International found the police excessive; US senators mulled sanctions. Nevertheless, Lam declined to withdraw the bill. The bill is on hold now, but more arrests and crackdown may come, as the Trump-Xi meeting ends and attention shifts. Our people are at risk of miscarriage of justice. If Lam truly wants to restore our trust, she just needs to meet our three humble demands:
Release of peaceful protesters;
Independent investigation into police brutality;
Complete withdrawal of the bill.
Sadly, she won't listen to us. We now need your support: get our voices heard at your governments and consulates; let freedom prevail at the upcoming G20 summit and beyond. We can be saved, if you act now.
Yours truly,
Hong Kong Citizens, Vanguards of Freedom
公開信解釋,特區政府提出修訂逃犯條例,將在香港的「逃犯」──無論是香港公民、外國人或遊客,都可能因被指控的罪行遭引渡到中國。很多專業團體如律師組織、商會都表達憂慮,甚至百萬香港人上街遊行反對修例,香港政府都無動於衷。香港人唯有包圍立法會和平抗議,但被警方施以催淚彈鎮壓,手無寸鐵的示威者和記者被打,有示威者頭部中槍。有傷者在醫院治療期間被捕,可能被控以「暴動」。林鄭月娥政府堅持不肯撤回草案,只是暫緩立法,他們擔心習特會結束後,會有更多人被捕和遭鎮壓。
公開信向香港政府提出3點要求:
釋放和平示威者;
獨立調查警方使用過度武力;
完全撤回例草案。
公開信呼籲各國讀者幫忙香港人發聲,將上述訊息向他們的政府反映。 作者: 自拍男 時間: 2019-6-25 10:49 PM
