(photo & text source: hong kong watch | 9 sep 2019) … The letter, was signed by Members from all parties including Lord Patten of Barnes, the last Governor of Hong Kong; Tom Tugendhat, the House of Commons Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman; Ian Blackford, the Scottish National Party Westminster Leader; Labour MP Sarah Champion; and Liberal Democrat MP and Hong Kong Watch patron Alistair Carmichael; and Lord Alton of Liverpool. It said that:
“China’s recent words and actions indicate that their leadership has moved away from the commitment to upholding Hong Kong’s way of life, enshrined in their Basic Law and founded on values we share: commitment to the rule of law, democracy and human rights. The continuing protests by the courageous people of Hong Kong have been their response to increasing restrictions on those values.”
China will be trying to censor this, we need to get the word out and let the world know the atrocities going on in Hong Kong. We cannot have another massacre.
The best way to help Hong Kong is to be public in your support, spread info and dont let this be brushed under the rug.
My heart goes out to the people of Hong Kong😢
I stand with the people of Hong Kong.
I’m from Hong Kong. We have been living in an endless nightmare since June when one million out of 7 million of the population took to the street. We are mercilessly beaten up and teargased, brutally headshot and eyeshot by rubber bullets, extensively arrested and severely charged. We are victims where vindication will never come and see no end to our suffering. More than 700 protesters arrested, out of them more than 100 charged, six suicides, hundreds injured. Gangsters were hired to attack civilians at metro station and in their neighborhood. Outcry is silenced on major local media and turned into the fuel to the patriotic fire by CCP red media. The 1.4-billion population of the Mainland China support to send troops to Hong Kong to kill our protesters. We are living in fear of political persecution and bodily assaults by the police and gangsters.
Please help us by spreading this information and write to your political representatives to ask for their support to Hong Kong. Please pray for us. Please wake up to this monstrosity and one of the biggest threats of CCP before it’s too late. Below is the timeline of what has been happening in Hong Kong.
Thousands of protestors singing “Do You Hear The People Sing” in a Hong Kong international airport. This is part of a 3-day sit-in and is only one example of the many marches, rallies, and sit-ins that are occurring daily.
The people of Hong Kong are fighting. Please do not let their voices go unheard around the world.
I’m a native Hong Konger and thank you for circulating this video.
Our movement started in early June with two marches of million turnout. Govt. did nothing to address our demands of investigation of police brutality and retraction of “riot” charge, except the suspension of the extradition law where anyone in HK could be sent to China’s court then jail. We lost six lives who killed themselves due to desperation and hopelessness. Hundreds injured, teargased, shot with robber bullets and beaten up by batons. Hundreds arrested and charged as rioters. Two major attacks on civilians by the gangsters hired by CCP. Hundreds or even thousands police in disguise infiltrated our protests, inciting violence and chaos, pitting our protesters against civilians. Unknown number of CCP police crossed the border to illegally work as HK police assaulting protesters without respect to the protocol. State propaganda encourage the 1.4 billion population to hate HK people, now they want a bloodshed to kill our protesters all.
Airport is the last venue we feel safe to organise protests now. But it is again terrorised by violent acts of the police in disguise. Our protesters are exhausted and hopeless and in fear after being violently suppressed in the past two months. They’re carried away and joined in the violent acts. It’s is horribly tragic and heartbreaking for us to come to this, when for all our life, we are the most peaceful protesters, singing songs and chanting, marching. Like what you see in the video. Remember the memorable gif where ambulance passing through the crowds of million people? This is us. But CCP is manipulative and despicable, they keep testing our limits again and again, we are only flawed humans, we couldn’t stop anymore when violence takes place.
This is an SOS to the international society. Hong Kong is being terrorised, radicalised and marginalised. We don’t give in to authoritarian rule but we feel weak and hopeless now. Please spread this to more people. If we are dying, at least our sacrifices can wake up the world to the authoritarian rule of CCP.
