STATEMENT ON 9.15 PETITION

"ONE COUNTRY TWO SYSTEMS IS DEAD"

The personal safety of Hong Kong people along with the British Nationals in Hong Kong is not protected. With the overpowered Hong Kong police in place and many more rights-violating laws being proposed, we are facing life-threatening situations daily.

The Sino-British Joint Declaration is in a material breach of the Chinese government. The Chinese government has been, especially in these recent months, undermining our autonomy and basic human rights. The extradition law outrageously trespass on our established legislative system. Today’s main rally out there proposed by Civil Human Rights Front, together with many rally proposals last month, were rejected by the Police Force, who all the more suppress our once-enjoyed freedom of assembly. These cold facts all point to a material breach of the Chinese government into the Joint Declaration, on which the legitimacy of governance and legislation are grounded.
